This paper presents computational and experimental studies on wavelength/frequency fluctuation characteristics of high pulse repetition rate (PRR: 18 kHz) dye laser pumped by frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser (532 nm). The temperature gradient in the dye solution is found to be responsible for wavelength fluctuations of the dye laser at low flow rates (2800<Red<5600). The turbulence Reynolds number (ReT) and the range of eddy sizes present in the turbulent flow are found to be responsible for the fluctuations at high flow rates (8400<Red<17000). A new dimensionless parameter, dimensionless eddy size (l_plus), has been defined to correlate the range of eddy sizes with the experimentally observed wavelength fluctuations. It was found that fluctuations can be controlled by keeping ReT~10 and l_plus max~1. The simulated result explains the experimental observation and provides a basis for designing the dye cells for high PRR pumping.

The Navier--Stokes equations arise naturally as a result of Ehrenfests coarse-graining in phase space after a period of free-flight dynamics. This point of view allows for a very flexible approach to the simulation of fluid flow for high-Reynolds num
ber. We construct regularisers for lattice Boltzmann computational models. These regularisers are based on Ehrenfests coarse-graining idea and could be applied to schemes with either entropic or non-entropic quasiequilibria. We give a numerical scheme which gives good results for the standard test cases of the shock tube and the flow past a square cylinder.
We experimentally investigate the effect of geometrical anisotropy for buoyant ellipsoidal particles rising in a still fluid. All other parameters, such as the Galileo number $Ga approx 6000$ and the particle density ratio $Gamma approx 0.53$ are kep
t constant. The geometrical aspect ratio, $chi$, of the particle is varied systematically from $chi$ = 0.2 (oblate) to 5 (prolate). Based on tracking all degrees of particle motion, we identify six regimes characterised by distinct rise dynamics. Firstly, for $0.83 le chi le 1.20$, increased rotational dynamics are observed and the particle flips over semi-regularly in a tumbling-like motion. Secondly, for oblate particles with $0.29 le chi le 0.75$, planar regular zig-zag motion is observed, where the drag coefficient is independent of $chi$. Thirdly, for the most extreme oblate geometries ($chi le 0.25$) a flutter-like behaviour is found, characterised by precession of the oscillation plane and an increase in the drag coefficient. For prolate geometries, we observed two coexisting oscillation modes that contribute to complex trajectories: the first is related to oscillations of the pointing vector and the second corresponds to a motion perpendicular to the particles symmetry axis. We identify a longitudinal regime ($1.33 le chi le 2.5$), where both modes are active and a different one, the broadside-regime ($3 le chile 4$), where only the second mode is present. Remarkably, for the most prolate particles ($chi = 5$), we observe an entirely different helical rise with completely unique features.
A numerical study of stably stratified flows past spheres at Reynolds numbers $Re=200$ and $Re=300$ is reported. In these flow regimes, a neutrally stratified laminar flow induces distinctly different near-wake features. However, the flow behaviour c
hanges significantly as the stratification increases and suppresses the scale of vertical displacements of fluid parcels. Computations for a range of Froude numbers $Frin [0.1,infty]$ show that as Froude number decreases, the flow patterns for both Reynolds numbers become similar. The representative simulations of the lee-wave instability at $Fr=0.625$ and the two-dimensional vortex shedding at $Fr=0.25$ regimes are illustrated for flows past single and tandem spheres, thereby providing further insight into the dynamics of stratified flows past bluff bodies. In particular, the reported study examines the relative influence of viscosity and stratification on the dividing streamline elevation, wake structure and flow separation. The solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the incompressible Boussinesq limit are obtained on unstructured meshes suitable for simulations involving multiple bodies. Computations are accomplished using the finite volume, non-oscillatory forward-in-time (NFT) Multidimensional Positive Definite Transport Algorithm (MPDATA) based solver. The impact and validity of the numerical approximations, especially for the cases exhibiting strong stratification, are also discussed. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons with available laboratory experiments and prior numerical studies confirm the validity of the numerical approach.
Bio-inspired oscillatory foil propulsion has the ability to traverse various propulsive modes by dynamically changing the foils heave and pitch kinematics. This research characterizes the propulsion properties and wake dynamics of a symmetric oscilla
ting foil, specifically targeting the high Reynolds number operation of small to medium surface vessels whose propulsive specifications have a broad range of loads and speeds. An unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) solver with a k-$omega$ SST turbulence model is used to sweep through pitch amplitude and frequency at two heave amplitudes of $h_0/c=1$ and $h_0/c=2$ at $Re=10^6$. At $h_0/c=2$, the maximum thrust coefficient is $C_T=8.2$ due to the large intercepted flow area of the foil, whereas at a decreased Strouhal number the thrust coefficient decreases and the maximum propulsive efficiency reaches 75%. Results illustrate the kinematics required to transition between the high-efficiency and high-thrust regimes at high Reynolds number and the resulting changes to the vortex wake structure. The unsteady vortex dynamics throughout the heave-pitch cycle strongly influence the characterization of thrust and propulsive efficiency, and are classified into flow regimes based on performance and vortex structure.
This study numerically investigates the bifurcation aspect of the wide-gap spherical Couette flow (SCF), with an emphasis on the competition among polygonal coherence with different wave numbers observed over transitional Reynolds numbers. Focusing o
n a representative case, the half-radius ratio, we confirm that the axisymmetric state becomes unstable over the first transitional Reynolds number at which the 4-fold spiral state bifurcates, using the continuation method based on the Newton-Raphson algorithm. The Galerkin-spectral method was employed to numerically solve the governing equations. It is found that the 3-fold spiral state bifurcates from the axisymmetric state at a slightly higher Reynolds number than the first transitional Reynolds number. The attraction of the 3-fold spiral state expands rapidly with an increase in the Reynolds number, which is determined by verifying the distance of the unstable periodic-like state to both spiral states in the state space. This aspect of the state space explains the experimentally bistable realization of different equilibrium states over the first transitional Reynolds number. This study also found that the periodic-like state is composed of the 3- and 4-fold spiral states, similar to a beat with two different frequencies.
