A Reduced Basis Technique for Long-Time Unsteady Turbulent Flows

TL;DR: An \emph{a posteriori} error indicator, which corresponds to the dual norm of the residual associated with the time-averaged momentum equation, is proposed and demonstrated that the error indicator is highly-correlated with the error in mean flow prediction, and can be efficiently computed through an offline/online strategy.

Global stability and sensitivity analysis of boundary-layer flows past a hemispherical roughness element

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the full three-dimensional instability mechanism past a hemispherical roughness element immersed in a laminar Blasius boundary layer and show the spatial structure of the linear direct and adjoint global eigenmodes of the Navier-Stokes equations and use the structural sensitivity field to locate the region where the instability mechanism acts.
