In this paper, the geometry of solution trajectories for three first-order coupled linear differential equations can be related and classified using three matrix invariants for elementary three-dimensional flow patterns defined by instantaneous streamlines for flow at and away from no slip boundaries for both compressible and incompressible flow.Abstract:
The geometry of solution trajectories for three first‐order coupled linear differential equations can be related and classified using three matrix invariants. This provides a generalized approach to the classification of elementary three‐dimensional flow patterns defined by instantaneous streamlines for flow at and away from no‐slip boundaries for both compressible and incompressible flow. Although the attention of this paper is on the velocity field and its associated deformation tensor, the results are valid for any smooth three‐dimensional vector field. For example, there may be situations where it is appropriate to work in terms of the vorticity field or pressure gradient field. In any case, it is expected that the results presented here will be of use in the interpretation of complex flow field data.read more

Turbulence Structure Modification and Drag Reduction by Microbubble Injections in a Boundary Layer Channel Flow
TL;DR: In this article, the presence of microbubbles within the boundary layer modifies the turbulence structure such that variations in time and space turbulent scales are observed, as well as ejection and sweep phenomena.

On the Reynolds number dependence of velocity-gradient structure and dynamics
Rishita Das,Sharath S. Girimaji +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the changes in velocity-gradient structure (local streamline topology) and related dynamics as a function of Reynolds number and showed that the moments and probability distributions of and its scalar invariants attain independence.

Control of the separated flow downstream of a backward-facing step using visual feedback
N. Gautier,J.-L. Aider +1 more
TL;DR: This approach to flow control is shown to be able to control the detached flow in the same way as has been done before by using the area of the recirculation region downstream of the step as the input for a gradient descent optimization scheme.
