Flow patterns in an expanded pipe under sinusoidally-changed flow rate.

Manipulating Flow Structures in Turbulent Pipe Flow

Two different tools, the non-empirical resolvent analysis and the data-based dynamic mode decomposition, are employed to assess the changes induced by transpiration in the dynamics of a turbulent pipe flow. The focus is on very large-scale motions. Both analyses permit the observation of streamwise waviness in the large flow structures and how the transpiration can inhibit fluctuation in locali...

Turbulent bubbly flow in pipe under gravity and microgravity conditions

Generation of Cardiomyocytes in Pipe-Based Microbioreactor Under Segmented Flow.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Embryonic stem (ES) cells have got a broad range differentiation potential. The differentiation is initiated via aggregation of non-differentiated ES cells into embryoid body (EB) capable of multi-lineage development. However experimental variables present in standard differentiation techniques lead to high EB heterogeneity, affecting development into the cells of desired lineag...

A Study of Flow and Mixing in Bubbly Gas-Liquid Pipe Flow Generated by a Grid

The spreading of a tracer in a bubbly two-phase grid-generated turbulent flow system is studied. In this work both particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planer laser-induced <span style="font-size: 10pt...

Turbulence Transition in Pipe Flow

Pipe flow is a prominent example among the shear flows that undergo transition to turbulence without mediation by a linear instability of the laminar profile. Experiments on pipe flow, as well as plane Couette and plane Poiseuille flow, show that triggering turbulence depends sensitively on initial conditions, that between the laminar and the turbulent states there exists no intermediate state ...
