Recurrence of Travelling Waves in Transitional Pipe Flow
The recent theoretical discovery of families of travelling wave solutions in pipe flow (Faisst & Eckhardt 2003; Wedin & Kerswell 2004; Hof et al. 2004) at Reynolds numbers lower than the transitional range naturally raises the question of their relevance to the turbulent transition process. Here a series of numerical experiments are conducted in which we look for the spatial signature of these ...
متن کاملHighly symmetric travelling waves in pipe flow.
The recent theoretical discovery of finite-amplitude travelling waves (TWs) in pipe flow has reignited interest in the transitional phenomena that Osborne Reynolds studied 125 years ago. Despite all being unstable, these waves are providing fresh insight into the flow dynamics. We describe two new classes of TWs, which, while possessing more restrictive symmetries than previously found TWs of F...
متن کاملTravelling wave states in pipe flow
In this paper, we report numerical calculations of two new travelling wave states with shift and reflect two-fold azimuthal symmetry (S2 symmetry of Wedin and Kerswell (2004)), characterized by a shrinking core towards the pipe center with increasing R. Further, one of these solutions, termed C2, has additional shift and rotate symmetry. We also present arguments to identify all possible scalin...
متن کاملLifetime statistics in transitional pipe flow.
Several experimental and numerical studies have shown that turbulent motions in circular pipe flow near transitional Reynolds numbers may not persist forever, but may decay. We study the properties of these decaying states within direct numerical simulations for Reynolds numbers up to 2200 and in pipes with lengths equal to 5, 9, and 15 times the diameter. We show that the choice of the ensembl...
