Direct numerical simulation (DNS) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) are used to study the shear layer characteristics of a jet in a crossflow. Experimental observations by Megerian et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 593, 2007, pp. 93–129) at velocity ratios (R = vj/u∞) of 2 and 4 and Reynolds number (Re = vjD/ν) of 2000 on the transition from absolute to convective instability of the upstream shea...

CrossFlow is a European research project of the 4 ESPRIT Framework, aiming at cross-organizational workflow support for virtual enterprises. Virtual enterprises in the CrossFlow context are based on a service provider-consumer paradigm in which organizations (service consumers) can delegate tasks in their workflows to other organizations (service providers). The prime contractor in CrossFlow is...

Different laminar flow control strategies are reviewed for the various instability mechanisms and their applications over the different flight regimes are discussed. Success stories are told and unresolved problems are discussed. Over the years, the crossflow instability has been the primary challenge for laminar flow control. Favorable pressure gradients used to stabilize streamwise instabilit...

In the present paper the thermodynamic and phenomenological descriptions of the crossflow piezo-electrooptic effect in crystals have been made. For example the necessary experimental measurements of this effect have been carried out in the lithium tantalate crystals. For these crystals at first the P33113−P11113 = −4.6·10 m/ N·V absolute coefficients difference of crossflow piezo-electrooptic e...
