TLDR
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

A Lagrangian Dynamic Mode Decomposition
Jörn Sesterhenn,Amir Shahirpour +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that in a properly chosen reference frame along the characteristic defined by the group velocity, a POD or DMD reduces moving structures to a few modes, as expected, and beyond serving as a reduced model, the re- sulting entity can be used to define a constant or minimally changing structure in turbulent flows.

Detection of dead-zones with analysis of flow pattern in open channel flows
TL;DR: In this paper, three different methods of deadzone detection are described and compared, particularly the coherent structure concept, which is based on the velocity gradient tensor of fluid flow, which was pre-calculated with the tool of computational fluid dynamics.

PIV Measurements on the Change of the Three-Dimensional Wake Structures by an Air Spoiler of a Road Vehicle
TL;DR: The three-dimensional vortical structures formed in the wake behind a road vehicle were measured using a particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique and the change of the structures by the existence of an air spoiler was investigated, found to weaken the C-pillar vortices producing strong wing tip vortsices, which reduce downwash flow and longitudinal vortice increase in the vertical direction.

Analysis of Simulations of Topologically Changing Three-Dimensional Separated Flows
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized puzzling results from transonic flow simulations around a hemisphere-cylinder configuration and tried to shed some light on the temporal-spatial numerical resolution requirements.

Rendering and Extracting Extremal Features in 3D Fields
TL;DR: This work uses a mathematically expressive domain‐specific language, Diderot, to compute direct volume renderings and particle‐based feature samplings for a range of mathematical features, demonstrating high‐quality results on notoriously difficult features, such as ridges and vortex cores.

TL;DR: In this article, the structure theory of linear operators on finite-dimensional vector spaces has been studied and a self-contained treatment of that subject is given, along with a discussion of the relations between dynamical systems and certain fields outside pure mathematics.

Direct simulation of a turbulent boundary layer up to R sub theta = 1410
TL;DR: In this paper, the turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate, with zero pressure gradient, is simulated numerically at four stations between R sub theta = 225 and R sub tta = 1410.
