Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Lagrangian coherent structures in three-dimensional turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, direct Lyapunov exponents (DLE) were used to identify Lagrangian coherent structures in two different three-dimensional flows, including a single isolated hairpin vortex, and a fully developed turbulent flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
The unsteady three-dimensional wake produced by a trapezoidal pitching panel
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used particle image velocimetry (PIV) to investigate the three-dimensional wakes of rigid pitching panels with a trapezoidal geometry, chosen to model idealized fish caudal fins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of three-dimensionality on thrust production by a pitching panel.
Melissa Green,Alexander Smits +1 more
TL;DR: To understand the fluid dynamics of a biologically inspired unsteady low-aspect-ratio propulsor, unsteadY pressure distributions were measured and compared with time-averaged thrust performance and wake visualizations and a new scaling is proposed that includes these parameters and collapses the oscillating pressure magnitude and the thrust coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using hyperbolic Lagrangian coherent structures to investigate vortices in bioinspired fluid flows
TL;DR: Using direct Lyapunov exponents to identify Lagrangian coherent structures in a bioinspired fluid flow: the wakes of rigid pitching panels with a trapezoidal planform geometry chosen to model idealized fish caudal fins, a classic reverse von Karman vortex street pattern was observed along the midspan of the near wake at low Strouhal number.
