The present work reports on the flow physics of turbulent supersonic flow over backward facing step (BFS) at Mach 2 using LES methodology where the dynamic Smagorinsky model is used for SGS modeling, while POD is invoked to identify the coherent structures present in the flow. The mean data obtained through the computations is in good agreement with the experimental measurements, while the iso-surfaces of Q-criterion at different time instants show the complex flow structures. The presence of counter rotating vortex pair in the shear layer along with the complex shock wave/boundary layer interaction leading to the separation of boundary layer is also evident from the contours of both Q and the modulus of vorticity. Further, the POD analysis reveals the presence of coherent structures, where the first and second modes confirm the vortical structures near the step as well as along the shear layer in the downstream region; while the second, third and fourth modes confirm the presence of vortices along the shear layer due to Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability. Moreover, POD as well as frequency analysis is extended at different planes to extract the detailed flow features.

A Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of the incompressible flow around a rectangular cylinder with chord-to-thickness ratio 5:1 (also known as the BARC benchmark) is presented. The work replicates the first DNS of this kind recently presented by Cimar
elli et al (2018), and intends to contribute to a solid numerical benchmark, albeit at a relatively low value of the Reynolds number. The study differentiates from previous work by using an in-house finite-differences solver instead of the finite-volumes toolbox OpenFOAM, and by employing finer spatial discretization and longer temporal average. The main features of the flow are described, and quantitative differences with the existing results are highlighted. The complete set of terms appearing in the budget equation for the components of the Reynolds stress tensor is provided for the first time. The different regions of the flow where production, redistribution and dissipation of each component take place are identified, and the anisotropic and inhomogeneous nature of the flow is discussed. Such information is valuable for the verification and fine-tuning of turbulence models in this complex separating and reattaching flow.
Turbulence structure in the quasi-linear restricted nonlinear (RNL) model is analyzed and compared with DNS of turbulent Poiseuille flow at Reynolds number R=1650. The turbulence structure is obtained by POD analysis of the two components of the flow
partition used in formulating the RNL model: the streamwise-mean flow and the associated perturbations. The dominant structures are found to be similar in RNL simulations and DNS despite the neglect of perturbation-perturbation nonlinearity in the RNL formulation. POD analysis of the streamwise-mean flow indicates that the dominant structure in both RNL and DNS is a coherent roll-streak structure in which the roll is collocated with the streak in a manner configured to reinforce the streak by the lift-up process. This mechanism of roll-streak maintenance accords with analytical predictions made using the second order statistical state dynamics (SSD) model, referred to as S3T, which shares with RNL the dynamical restriction of neglecting the perturbation-perturbation nonlinearity. POD analysis of perturbations from the streamwise-mean streak reveals that similar structures characterize these perturbations in both RNL and DNS. The perturbation to the low-speed streak POD are shown to have the form of oblique waves collocated with the streak that can be identified with optimally growing structures on the streak. Given that the mechanism sustaining turbulence in RNL has been analytically characterized, this close correspondence between the streamwise-mean and perturbation structures in RNL and DNS supports the conclusion that the self-sustaining mechanism in DNS is the same as that in RNL.
Direct numerical simulation is used to investigate effects of turbulent flow in the confined geometry of a face-centered cubic porous unit cell on the transport, clustering, and deposition of fine particles at different Stokes numbers ($St = 0.01, 0.
1, 0.5, 1, 2$) and at a pore Reynolds number of 500. Particles are advanced using one-way coupling and collision of particles with pore walls is modeled as perfectly elastic with specular reflection. Tools for studying inertial particle dynamics and clustering developed for homogeneous flows are adapted to take into account the embedded, curved geometry of the pore walls. The pattern and dynamics of clustering are investigated using the volume change of Voronoi tesselation in time to analyze the divergence and convergence of the particles. Similar to the case of homogeneous, isotropic turbulence, the cluster formation is present at large volumes, while cluster destruction is prominent at small volumes and these effects are amplified with Stokes number. However, unlike homogeneous, isotropic turbulence, formation of large number of very small volumes was observed at all Stokes numbers and is attributed to the collision of particles with the pore wall. Multiscale wavelet analysis of the particle number density showed peak of clustering shifts towards larger scales with increase in Stokes number. Scale-dependent skewness and flatness quantify the intermittent void and cluster distribution, with cluster formation observed at small scales for all Stokes numbers, and void regions at large scales for large Stokes numbers.
How to determine accurately and efficiently the aerodynamic forces of the aircraft in high-speed flow is one of great challenges in modern aerodynamics. In this Letter we propose a new similarity law for steady transonic-supersonic flow over thin bod
ies. The new similarity law is based on the local Mach number frozen principle. It depends on both the specific heat ratio and the free-stream Mach number. The new similarity law enables one to determine the lift and drag coefficients of the aircraft from that of a reference state which is more reachable. The validity of the new similarity law has been confirmed by the excellent agreement with numerical simulations of both two-dimensional airfoil flows and three-dimensional wing flows.
The flow structure obtained when Localized Arc Filament Plasma Actuators (LAFPA) are employed to control the flow issuing from a perfectly expanded Mach 1.3 nozzle is elucidated by visualizing coherent structures obtained from Implicit Large-Eddy Sim
ulations. The computations reproduce recent experimental observations at the Ohio State University to influence the acoustic and mixing properties of the jet. Eight actuators were placed on a collar around the periphery of the nozzle exit and selectively excited to generate various modes, including first and second mixed (m = +/- 1 and m = +/- 2) and axisymmetric (m = 0). In this fluid dynamics video http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/13723/2/Alljoinedtotalwithmodetextlong2-Datta%20MPEG-1.m1v, http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/13723/3/Alljoinedtotalwithmodetextlong2-Datta%20MPEG-2.m2v}, unsteady and phase-averaged quantities are displayed to aid understanding of the vortex dynamics associated with the m = +/- 1 and m = 0 modes excited at the preferred column-mode frequency (Strouhal number 0.3). The unsteady flow in both contains a broad spectrum of coherent features. For m = +/- 1, the phase-averaged flow reveals the generation of successive distorted elliptic vortex rings with axes in the flapping plane, but alternating on either side of the jet axis. This generates a chain of structures where each interacts with its predecessor on one side and its successor on the other. Through self and mutual interaction, the leading segment of each loop is pinched and passes through the previous ring before rapidly breaking up, and the mean jet flow takes on an elliptic shape. The m = 0 mode exhibits relatively stable roll-up events, with vortex ribs in the braid regions connecting successive large coherent structures.
