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

Simulation of a Three-Dimensional Flapping Cantilever for Micro Air Vehicle Propulsion
TL;DR: In this article, a method is developed to simulate the fluid dynamics of low Reynolds number flow around solid objects with complex shapes on a fixed cartesian grid, where the boundary conditions on the solid/fluid interface are enforced through a specific treatment of grid points close to the interface.

TL;DR: This work presents a novel method of feature exploration that can be used to investigate spatio-temporal patterns in both data types simultaneously and develops new ways of visually presenting the embedded information to a user in an intuitive manner.

A numerical study of turbulent drag reduction using streamwise travelling waves of spanwise wall velocity
TL;DR: In this article, a parallelisation of the fully-implicit fractional step based in-house DNS code was implemented, and the performance of streamwise travelling waves of spanwise wall velocity in a turbulent channel flow were performed at Reτ = 200, 400, 800 and 1600, scaling the input parameters in wall units.

Investigation on the vortex structure of propeller wake influenced by loading on the blade
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the vortex structure of the wake behind a marine propeller in terms of loading variation by using particle image velocimetry and found that the velocity fields were ensemble averaged to study the spatial evolution of the drift and the behavior of the tip vortices in the region ranging from the trailing edge to one propeller diameter downstream.
