Secondary instability in the near-wake past two tandem square cylinders

TL;DR: In this paper, a parametric analysis has been carried out to detect the onset of the secondary instability in the laminar flow past two identical square cylinders in tandem, and three distinct patterns of base flow are found depending on the gap, and distinctive modes of secondary instability are identified for each pattern of the base flow.

A new incompressible Navier-Stokes solver combining Fourier pseudo-spectral and immersed boundary methods

TL;DR: In this article, a new numerical methodology combining Fourier pseudo-spectral and immersed boundary methods is developed for fluid flow prob- lems governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.

An improved direct-forcing immersed boundary method with inward retraction of Lagrangian points for simulation of particle-laden flows

TL;DR: It turns out the improved method not only provides better results for the drag force but also predicts the flow field more accurately, suitable for simulating large-scale fluid–particle systems such as fluidized bed, which are computationally expensive.

Numerical simulation of thermal fluid-structure interaction

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and then implemented a framework for numerical simulation of fully coupled thermal fluid structure interaction, a phenomenon which occurs in a large set of engineering problems, and an important aspect of this work is the optimization of the numerical procedure.

An immersed boundary method for incompressible flows using volume of body function

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and effective immersed boundary method using volume of body (VOB) function is implemented on unstructured Cartesian meshes and the flow solver is a second-order accurate implicit pressure-correction method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.

On the identification of a vortex

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a definition of vortex in an incompressible flow in terms of the eigenvalues of the symmetric tensor, which captures the pressure minimum in a plane perpendicular to the vortex axis at high Reynolds numbers, and also accurately defines vortex cores at low Reynolds numbers.

Application of a Fractional-Step Method to Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical method for computing three-dimensional, time-dependent incompressible flows is presented based on a fractional-step, or time-splitting, scheme in conjunction with the approximate-factorization technique.

Combined Immersed-Boundary Finite-Difference Methods for Three-Dimensional Complex Flow Simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, a second-order accurate, highly efficient method is developed for simulating unsteady three-dimensional incompressible flows in complex geometries, which is achieved by using boundary body forces that allow the imposition of the boundary conditions on a given surface not coinciding with the computational grid.

Modeling a no-slip flow boundary with an external force field

TL;DR: In this paper, the Navier-Stokes equations permit the presence of an externally imposed body force that may vary in space and time, and the velocity is used to iteratively determine the desired value.

Oblique and Parallel Modes of Vortex Shedding in the Wake of a Circular Cylinder at Low Reynolds Numbers

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Strouhal discontinuity is not due to any of the previously proposed mechanisms, but instead is caused by a transition from one oblique shedding mode to another oblique mode.
