Journal ArticleDOI
Conditions for validity of mean flow stability analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided theoretical conditions for the use and meaning of a stability analysis around a mean flow and showed that the spectral (or temporal Fourier) mode of the fluctuation field is equal to the action on a turbulent forcing term arising from linearisation about the mean flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
The preferred mode of incompressible jets: linear frequency response analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the linear amplification of axisymmetric external forcing in incompressible jet flows was investigated within a fully non-parallel framework, and the authors characterized the preferred amplification as a pseudo-resonance with a dominant Strouhal number of around.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear impulse response in hot round jets
Lutz Lesshafft,Patrick Huerre +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the linear impulse response of axisymmetric jets for a family of variable-temperature profiles typical of the potential core and found that the relative stability of the two types of jets is determined only by the effect of the baroclinic torque.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave-Packet Models for Jet Dynamics and Sound Radiation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use simplified model problems to discuss the salient features of turbulent-jet wavepackets and their modeling frameworks, including Lighthill's acoustic analogy, and allow an evaluation of the radiation properties of sound-source functions postulated following observation of jets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear global modes in hot jets
TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulations are carried out in order to determine if such synchronized states correspond to a nonlinear global mode of the underlying base flow, as predicted in the framework of Ginzburg-Landau model equations.
