In this paper, extensions to conventional stochastic estimation techniques are presented, whereby uncertainties in individual estimates may be deduced. Test applications to time series of velocity measurements in a turbulent boundary layer confirm the fidelity of the uncertainty estimation procedure and illustrate how the optimal choice of stochastic estimation model can be strongly dependent o...

This work presents the development of a simulation environment which allows to simulate realistic extreme events with lidar-based feedforward control. This environment includes turbulent wind fields including extreme events, wind evolution and wind field scanning with a nacelle-based lidar system. It is designed to simulate lidar-based controllers in a realistic environment. In addition, a cont...

In turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection, a large-scale circulation (LSC) develops in a nearly vertical plane and is maintained by rising and falling plumes detaching from the unstable thermal boundary layers. Rare but large fluctuations in the LSC amplitude can lead to extinction of the LSC (a cessation event), followed by the reemergence of another LSC with a different (random) azimuthal orien...

Superfluid turbulence is a fascinating phenomenon for which a satisfactory theoretical framework is lacking. Holographic duality provides a systematic approach to studying such quantum turbulence by mapping the dynamics of a strongly interacting quantum liquid into the dynamics of classical gravity. We use this gravitational description to numerically construct turbulent flows in a holographic ...

We propose a qualitative scenario to interpret the argued association between the recent direct measurement of the gravitational wave event GW150914 by LIGO-Virgo collaborations and the hard X-ray transient detected by Fermi-GBM 0.4 sec after. In a binary system of two gravitationally collapsing objects with a non-vanishing electric charge, the compenetration of the two magnetospheres occurring...

We present a novel approach for tracking space-filling features, i.e., a set of features covering the entire domain. The assignment between successive time steps is determined by a two-step, global optimization scheme. First, a maximum-weight, maximal matching on a bi-partite graph is computed to provide one-to-one assignments between features of successive time steps. Second, events are detect...

Extensive experimentation was performed to obtain flow boiling critical heat flux data in single stainless steel microtubes with diameters from 0.286 to 0.700 mm over a wide range of mass fluxes, inlet subcoolings, and exit pressures for two different working fluids (water and R-123). The effect of different operating parameters – mass flux, inlet subcooling, exit quality, heated length and dia...

to create values in the working environment and to achieve the organizational aims, organizations have to manage their elements with specific alignment.in principle, different departments of organizations are put together with specific arrangements and tasks in order to create value for the stakeholders .it has been proven that creating value and the outcome of an organization has a direct rela...

The energy equation for turbulent flow of fiber suspensions was derived in terms of second order correlation tensors. Fiber motion of turbulent energy including the correlation between pressure fluctuations and velocity fluctuations was discussed at two points of flow field, at which the correlation tensors were the functions of space coordinates, distance between two points, and time.

the current study presents the results of the aerodynamic noise prediction of the flow field around a naca 0012 airfoil at a chord-based reynolds number of 100,000 and at 8.4 degree angle of attack. an incompressible large eddy simulation (les) turbulence model is applied to obtain the instantaneous turbulent flow field. the noise prediction is performed by the ffowcs williams and hawkings (fw-...
