We present a new method to create and preserve the turbulent details generated around moving objects in SPH fluid. In our approach, a high-resolution overlapping grid is bounded to each object and translates with the object. The turbulence formation is modeled by resolving the local flow around objects using a hybrid SPH-FLIP method. Then these vortical details are carried on SPH particles flow...

this work investigates the response of two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layer characteristics over a flat plate to the presence of suspended particulate matter. both phases are assumed to be interacting continua. that is, the carrier fluid equations are considered to be coupled with the particle-phase equations. a finite-difference technique with non-uniform grid has been employed for the so...

Shear-free turbulence generated from an oscillating grid in a water tank impinging on an impermeable surface at varying Reynolds number 74 ≤ Re(l) ≤ 570 was studied experimentally, where the Reynolds number is defined based on the root-mean-square (r.m.s) horizontal velocity and the integral length scale. A particular focus was paid to the turbulence characteristics for low Re(l) < 150 to inves...

where 2S is the viscosity computed by the Smagorinsky formulation (Smagorinsky, 1963), α is a constant in the range 0.01-0.5 and A denotes the area of the current element. A value of α = 0.1 was used keeping in mind the fine resolution of the mesh. Similar to the eddy viscosity, turbulent diffusion in the transport equations (equation 4 in the paper) represents all those processes that can not ...

A new type of grid turbulence generator, the 3D sparse (3DS), is a co-planar arrangement co-frames each containing different length scale elements [Malik, N. A. US Patent No. 9,599,269 B2 (2017)] and possessing much bigger parameter space than flat 2D fractal square (2DF). Using DNS we compare characteristics (mean flow, intensity, energy spectrum) generated by types 3DS grids. The peak intensi...

The influence of a multi-scale fractal-based geometry on the decay of turbulence is investigated by comparing the turbulence produced by a square-fractal-element grid to that produced by two regular grids with similar physical properties. Comparison of the grid wakes at constant grid Reynolds number, ReM , identifies that in the farfield both regular grids produce comparable or higher turbulenc...

The present numerical study is concerned with the fundamental physics of the multi-way interaction between turbulence, chemical reaction and buoyancy in a nonpremixed flame. The method of direct numerical simulation (DNS) is used to solve the instantaneous three-dimensional governing equations. Because of the present supercomputer limitations, we consider two simple flow geometries, namely an i...

The nonlinear propagation of spark-generated N-waves through thermal turbulence is experimentally studied at the laboratory scale under well-controlled conditions. A grid of electrical resistors was used to generate the turbulent field, well described by a modified von Kármán model. A spark source was used to generate high-amplitude (~1500 Pa) and short duration (~50 μs) N-waves. Thousands of w...
