Modeling transition to turbulence in eccentric stenotic flows.
Mean flow predictions obtained from a host of turbulence models were found to be in poor agreement with recent direct numerical simulation results for turbulent flow distal to an idealized eccentric stenosis. Many of the widely used turbulence models, including a large eddy simulation model, were unable to accurately capture the poststenotic transition to turbulence. The results suggest that ef...
متن کاملCoherent structures in dissipative particle dynamics simulations of the transition to turbulence in compressible shear flows.
We present simulations of coherent structures in compressible flows near the transition to turbulence using the dissipative particle dynamics method. The structures we find are remarkably consistent with experimental observations and direct numerical simulations (DNS) simulations of incompressible flows, despite a difference in Mach number of several orders of magnitude. The bifurcation from th...
متن کاملDynamical systems and the transition to turbulence in linearly stable shear flows.
Plane Couette flow and pressure-driven pipe flow are two examples of flows where turbulence sets in while the laminar profile is still linearly stable. Experiments and numerical studies have shown that the transition has features compatible with the formation of a strange saddle rather than an attractor. In particular, the transition depends sensitively on initial conditions and the turbulent s...
متن کاملSupertransient magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in Keplerian shear flows.
A subcritical transition to turbulence in magnetized Keplerian shear flows is investigated by using a statistical approach. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the shearing box equations with zero net magnetic flux are employed to determine the transition from decaying to sustained turbulence as a function of the magnetic Reynolds number R{m}. The results reveal no clear transition to su...
متن کامل2DV Nonlinear k-ε Turbulence Modeling of Stratified Flows
The commonly used linear k-ε turbulence model is shown to be incapable of accurate prediction of turbulent flows, where non-isotropy is dominant. Two examples of non-isotropic flows, which have a wide range of applications in marine waters, are saline water flow and the stratified flows due to temperature gradients. These relate to stratification and consequently, variation of density through...
