Getting inspired from swimming natural species, a lot of research is being carried out in the field of unmanned underwater vehicles. During the last two decades, more emphasis on the associated hydrodynamic mechanisms, structural dynamics, control techniques and, its motion and path planning has been prominently witnessed in the literature. Considering the importance of the involved acoustic mechanisms, we focus on the quantification of flow noise produced by an oscillating hydrofoil here employed as a kinematic model for fish or its relevant appendages. In our current study, we perform numerical simulations for flow over an oscillating hydrofoil for a wide range of flow and kinematic parameters. Using the Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) method, we quantify the flow noise produced by a fish during its swimming for a range of kinematic and flow parameters including Reynolds number, reduced frequency, and Strouhal number. We find that the distributions of the sound pressure levels at the oscillating frequency and its first even harmonic due to the pressure fluctuations in the fluid domain are dipole-like patterns. The magnitudes of these sound pressure levels depend on the Reynolds number and Strouhal number, whereas the direction of their dipole-axes appears to be affected by the reduced frequency only. Moreover, We also correlate this emission of sound radiations with the hydrodynamic force coefficients.

We report on progress on the free surface flow in the presence of submerged oscillating line sources (2D) or point sources (3D) when a simple shear flow is present varying linearly with depth. Such sources are in routine use as Green functions in the
realm of potential theory for calculating wave-body interactions, but no such theory exists in for rotational flow. We solve the linearized problem in 2D and 3D from first principles, based on the Euler equations, when the sources are at rest relative to the undisturbed surface. Both in 2D and 3D a new type of solution appears compared to irrotational case, a critical layer-like flow whose surface manifestation (wave) drifts downstream from the source at the velocity of the flow at the source depth. We analyse the additional vorticity in light of the vorticity equation and provide a simple physical argument why a critical layer is a necessary consequence of Kelvins circulation theorem. In 3D a related critical layer phenomenon occurs at every depth, whereby a street of counter-rotating vortices in the horizontal plane drift downstream at the local flow velocity.
We quantify the strength of the waves and their impact on the energy cascade in rotating turbulence by studying the wave number and frequency energy spectrum, and the time correlation functions of individual Fourier modes in numerical simulations in
three dimensions in periodic boxes. From the spectrum, we find that a significant fraction of the energy is concentrated in modes with wave frequency $omega approx 0$, even when the external forcing injects no energy directly into these modes. However, for modes for which the period of the inertial waves $tau_omega$ is faster than the turnover time $tau_textrm{NL}$, a significant fraction of the remaining energy is concentrated in the modes that satisfy the dispersion relation of the waves. No evidence of accumulation of energy in the modes with $tau_omega = tau_textrm{NL}$ is observed, unlike what critical balance arguments predict. From the time correlation functions, we find that for modes with $tau_omega < tau_textrm{sw}$ (with $tau_textrm{sw}$ the sweeping time) the dominant decorrelation time is the wave period, and that these modes also show a slower modulation on the timescale $tau_textrm{NL}$ as assumed in wave turbulence theories. The rest of the modes are decorrelated with the sweeping time, including the very energetic modes modes with $omega approx 0$.
Harmonic oscillations of the walls of a turbulent plane channel flow are studied by direct numerical simulations to improve our understanding of the physical mechanism for skin-friction drag reduction. The simulations are carried out at constant pres
sure gradient in order to define an unambiguous inner scaling: in this case, drag reduction manifests itself as an increase of mass flow rate. Energy and enstrophy balances, carried out to emphasize the role of the oscillating spanwise shear layer, show that the viscous dissipations of the mean flow and of the turbulent fluctuations increase with the mass flow rate, and the relative importance of the latter decreases. We then focus on the turbulent enstrophy: through an analysis of the temporal evolution from the beginning of the wall motion, the dominant, oscillation-related term in the turbulent enstrophy is shown to cause the turbulent dissipation to be enhanced in absolute terms, before the slow drift towards the new quasi-equilibrium condition. This mechanism is found to be responsible for the increase in mass flow rate. We finally show that the time-average volume integral of the dominant term relates linearly to the drag reduction.
We numerically examine the mechanisms that describe the shock-boundary layer interactions in transonic flow past an oscillating wing section. At moderate and high angles of incidence but low amplitudes of oscillation, shock induced flow separation or
shock-stall is observed accompanied by shock reversal. Even though the power input to the airfoil by the viscous forces is three orders of magnitude lower than that due to the pressure forces on the airfoil, the boundary layer manipulates the shock location and shock motion and redistributes the power input to the airfoil by the pressure forces. The shock motion is reversed relative to that in an inviscid flow as the boundary layer cannot sustain an adverse pressure gradient posed by the shock, causing the shock to move upstream leading to an early separation. The shock motion shows a phase difference with reference to the airfoil motion and is a function of the frequency of the oscillation. At low angles of incidence, and low amplitudes of oscillation, the boundary layer changes the profile presented to the external flow, leads to a slower expansion of the flow resulting in an early shock, and a diffused shock-foot caused by the boundary layer.
Analytical solutions in fluid dynamics can be used to elucidate the physics of complex flows and to serve as test cases for numerical models. In this work, we present the analytical solution for the acoustic boundary layer that develops around a rigi
d sphere executing small amplitude harmonic rectilinear motion in a compressible fluid. The mathematical framework that describes the primary flow is identical to that of wave propagation in linearly elastic solids, the difference being the appearance of complex instead of real valued wave numbers. The solution reverts to well-known classical solutions in special limits: the potential flow solution in the thin boundary layer limit, the oscillatory flat plate solution in the limit of large sphere radius and the Stokes flow solutions in the incompressible limit of infinite sound speed. As a companion analytical result, the steady second order acoustic streaming flow is obtained. This streaming flow is driven by the Reynolds stress tensor that arises from the axisymmetric first order primary flow around such a rigid sphere. These results are obtained with a linearization of the non-linear Navier-Stokes equations valid for small amplitude oscillations of the sphere. The streaming flow obeys a time-averaged Stokes equation with a body force given by the Nyborg model in which the above mentioned primary flow in a compressible Newtonian fluid is used to estimate the time-averaged body force. Numerical results are presented to explore different regimes of the complex transverse and longitudinal wave numbers that characterize the primary flow.
