Hovering of a rigid pyramid in an oscillatory airflow
We investigate the dynamics of rigid bodies (hollow ‘pyramids’) placed within a background airflow, oscillating with zero mean. The asymmetry of the body introduces a net upward force. We find that when the amplitude of the airflow is above a threshold, the net lift exceeds the weight and the object starts to hover. Our results show that the objects hover at far smaller air amplitudes than woul...
متن کاملRipple Morphodynamics in Oscillatory Flows
The long-term goal of our research is to improve our understanding of ripple morphodynamics in wave-current, boundary-layer flows. Our main focus is on the study of sediment transport in oscillatory boundary layers in the presence of unidirectional currents and the associated bed morphology (i.e. 2D and 3D ripples). We hope to improve currently available bed state prediction tools. To this end,...
متن کاملPassive swimming in viscous oscillatory flows.
Fluid-based locomotion at low Reynolds number is subject to the constraints of Purcell's scallop theorem: reciprocal shape kinematics identical under a time-reversal symmetry cannot cause locomotion. In particular, a single degree-of-freedom scallop undergoing opening and closing motions cannot swim. Most strategies for symmetry breaking and locomotion rely on direct control of the swimmer's sh...
متن کاملParametric instability in oscillatory shear flows
In this article we investigate time-periodic shear flows in the context of the twodimensional vorticity equation, which may be applied to describe certain large-scale atmospheric and oceanic flows. The linear stability analyses of both discrete and continuous profiles demonstrate that parametric instability can arise even in this simple model: the oscillations can stabilize (destabilize) an oth...
متن کاملOscillatory transverse instability Oscillatory transverse instability of interfacial waves in horizontally oscillating flows
We present the results of an experimental investigation into the stability of steep interfacial waves in two immiscible liquid layers subject to horizontal oscillations. Two-dimensional waves, which arise beyond a critical forcing speed Vc (product of forcing frequency and amplitude), can in turn lose stability to oscillatory transverse amplitude modulations with a near sub-harmonic response at...
