The background potential energy (BPE) is the only reservoir that double diffusive instabilities can tap their energy from when developing from an unforced motionless state with no available potential energy (APE). Recently, Middleton and Taylor linked the extraction of BPE into APE to the sign of the diapycnal component of the buoyancy flux, but their criterion can predict only diffusive convection instability, not salt finger instability. Here, we show that the problem can be corrected if the sign of the APE dissipation rate is used instead, making it emerge as the most fundamental criterion for double diffusive instabilities. A theory for the APE dissipation rate for a two-component fluid relative to its single-component counterpart is developed as a function of three parameters: the diffusivity ratio, the density ratio, and a spiciness parameter. The theory correctly predicts the occurrence of both salt finger and diffusive convection instabilities in the laminar unforced regime, while more generally predicting that the APE dissipation rate for a two-component fluid can be enhanced, suppressed, or even have the opposite sign compared to that for a single-component fluid, with important implications for the study of ocean mixing. Because negative APE dissipation can also occur in stably stratified single-component and doubly stable two-component stratified fluids, we speculate that only the thermodynamic theory of exergy can explain its physics; however, this necessitates accepting that APE dissipation is a conversion between APE and the internal energy component of BPE, in contrast to prevailing assumptions.
本底势能(BPE)是双重扩散不稳定性从没有可用势能(APE)的非强制无运动状态发展时唯一可以利用的能量库。最近,米德尔顿和泰勒(Middleton and Taylor)将背景势能(BPE)提取到 APE 与浮力通量的平滑分量的符号联系起来,但他们的标准只能预测扩散对流不稳定性,而不能预测盐指不稳定性。在这里,我们证明了如果使用 APE 耗散率的符号来代替 APE,就可以纠正这个问题,使其成为双扩散不稳定性的最基本准则。我们提出了双组分流体相对于单组分流体的 APE 耗散率理论,它是三个参数的函数:扩散比、密度比和辣度参数。该理论正确预测了层流非受力状态下盐指和扩散对流不稳定性的发生,同时更广泛地预测了双组分流体的 APE 耗散可以增强、抑制,甚至与单组分流体的 APE 耗散相反,这对海洋混合研究具有重要意义。由于在稳定分层的单组分流体和双重稳定的双组分分层流体中也会出现负APE耗散,我们推测只有热力学的放能理论才能解释其物理现象;然而,这就必须接受APE耗散是APE与BPE的内能分量之间的转换,这与普遍的假设不同。

The influence of outer large-scale motions (LSMs) on near-wall structures in compressible turbulent channel flows is investigated. To separate the compressibility effects, velocity fluctuations are decomposed into solenoidal and dilatational components using the Helmholtz decomposition method. Solenoidal velocity fluctuations manifest as near-wall streaks and outer large-scale structures. The spanwise drifting of near-wall solenoidal streaks is found to be driven by the outer LSMs, while LSMs have a trivial influence on the spanwise density of solenoidal streaks, consistent with the outer LSM impacts found in incompressible flows (Zhou et al., J. Fluid Mech., vol. 940, 2022, p. A23). Dilatational motions are characterized by the near-wall small-scale travelling-wave packets and the large-scale parts in the outer region. The streamwise advection velocity of the near-wall structures remains at $16 sim 18u_{tau }$, hardly influenced by Mach numbers, Reynolds numbers and wall temperatures. The spanwise drifting of near-wall dilatational structures, quantified by the particle image velocimetry method, follows a mechanism distinct from solenoidal streaks. This drifting velocity is notably larger than those of the solenoidal streaks, and the influence of outer LSMs is not the primary trigger for this drifting.

An interesting resurrection phenomenon (including the initial complete submersion, subsequent resurfacing and final rebounding) of a superhydrophobic sphere impacting onto a liquid bath was observed in experiments and direct numerical simulations by Galeano-Rios et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 912, 2021, A17). We investigate the mechanisms of the liquid entry for a superhydrophobic cylinder in this paper. The superhydrophobic cylinder, commonly employed as supporting legs for insects and robots at the liquid surface, can exhibit liquid-entry mechanisms different from those observed with the sphere. The direct numerical simulation method is applied to the impact of a two-dimensional (2-D) superhydrophobic cylinder (modelled as a pseudo-solid) onto a liquid bath. We find that for the impacting cylinder the resurrection phenomenon can also exist, and the cylinder can either rebound (get detached from the liquid surface) or stay afloat after resurfacing. The cylinder impact behaviour is classified into four regimes, i.e. floating, bouncing, resurrecting (resurrecting-floating and resurrecting-bouncing) and sinking, dependent on the Weber number and the density ratio of the cylinder to the liquid. For the regimes of floating and bouncing, the force analysis indicates that the form drag dominates the motion of the cylinder in the very beginning of the impact, while subsequently the surface tension force also plays a role with the contact line pinning on the horizontal midline of the cylinder. For the critical states of the highlighted resurrecting regime, our numerical results show that the rising height for the completely submerged cylinder of different density ratios remains nearly unchanged. Accordingly, a relation between the maximum ascending velocity and the density ratio is derived to predict whether the completely submerged cylinder can resurface.

Modons, or dipolar vortices, are common and long-lived features of the upper ocean, consisting of a pair of counter-rotating monopolar vortices moving through self-advection. Such structures remain stable over long times and may be important for fluid transport over large distances. Here, we present a semi-analytical method for finding fully nonlinear modon solutions in a multi-layer quasi-geostrophic model with arbitrarily many layers. Our approach is to reduce the problem to a multi-parameter linear eigenvalue problem which can be solved using numerical techniques from linear algebra. The method is shown to replicate previous results for one- and two-layer models and is applied to a three-layer model to find a solution describing a mid-depth propagating, topographic vortex.

The stimulation of instability and transport in the bottom boundary layer by internal solitary waves has been documented for over twenty years. However, the challenge of shallow slopes and a disparity of scales between the large-scale wave and the small-scale boundary layer has proven challenging for simulations. We present laboratory scale simulations that resolve the three-dimensionalisation in the boundary layer during the entire shoaling process. We find that the late stage, in which the incoming wave fissions into boluses, provides the most consistent source of three-dimensionalisation. In the early stage of shoaling, three-dimensionalisation occurs not so much due to separation bubble instability, but due to the interaction of vortices shed from the separation bubble with the overlying pycnocline. This interaction overturns the pycnocline, and creates bursts in kinetic energy and viscous dissipation, suggesting that the shed vortices induce turbulent motion and sediment resuspension in the water column above and behind the separation bubble.

Linear unsteady aerofoil theory, while successfully used for the prediction of unsteady aerofoil lift for many decades, has yet to be proven adequate for predicting the propulsive performance of oscillating aerofoils. In this paper we test the hypothesis that the central shortcoming of linear small-amplitude models, such as the Garrick function, is the failure to account for the flow acceleration caused by aerofoil thrust. A new analytical model is developed by coupling the Garrick function to a cycle-averaged actuator disc model, in a manner analogous to the blade-element momentum theory for wind turbines and propellers. This amounts to assuming the Garrick function to be locally valid and, in combination with a global control volume analysis, enables the prediction of flow acceleration at the aerofoil. The new model is demonstrated to substantially improve the agreement with large-eddy simulations of an aerofoil in combined heave and pitch motion.

We present an experimental study of reactive control of turbulent jets, in which we target axisymmetric coherent structures, known to play a key role in the generation of sound. We first consider a forced jet, in which coherent structures are amplified above background levels, facilitating their detection, estimation and control. We then consider the more challenging case of an unforced jet. The linear control targets coherent structures in the region just downstream of the nozzle exit plane, where linear models are known to be appropriate for description of the lowest-order azimuthal modes of the turbulence. The control law is constructed in frequency space, based on empirically determined transfer functions. And the Wiener–Hopf formalism is used to enforce causality and to provide an optimal controller, as opposed to the sub-optimal control laws provided by simpler wave-cancellation methods. Significant improvements are demonstrated in the control of both forced and unforced jets. In the former case, order-of-magnitude reductions are achieved; and in the latter, turbulence levels are reduced by up to 60 %. The results open new perspectives for the control of turbulent flow at high Reynolds number.

Steep wave breaking on a vertical cylinder (a typical foundation supporting offshore wind turbines) will induce slam loads. Many questions on the important violent wave loading and the associated secondary load cycle remain unanswered. We use laboratory experiments with unidirectional waves to investigate the fluid loading on vertical cylinders. We use a novel three-phase decomposition approach that allows us to separate different types of nonlinearity. Our findings reveal the existence of an additional quasi-impulsive loading component that is associated with the secondary load cycle and occurs in the backwards direction against that of the incoming waves. This quasi-impulsive force occurs at the end of the secondary load cycle and close to the passage of the downward zero-crossing point of the undisturbed wave. Wavelet analysis showed that the impulsive force exhibits superficially similar behaviour to a typical wave-slamming event but in the reverse direction. To monitor the scattered wave field and extract run-up on the cylinder, we installed a four-camera synchronised video system and found a strong temporal correlation between the arrival time of the Type-II scattered wave onto the cylinder and the occurrence of this quasi-impulsive force. The temporal characteristics of this quasi-impulsive force can be approximated by the Goda wave impact model, taking the collision of the Type-II scattered waves at the rear stagnation point as the impact source.

We study the behaviour of a particle bed immersed in water when a flow generated by an oscillating plate is induced above it. We first consider a rigid plate submerged and oscillated over a particle bed. During upward motion of the plate, a portion of the bed fails, allowing particle displacement, and the bed surface to deform into a heap. We have already determined the flow of the fluid above and within the bed. This work describes the particle motion within the failed region of the bed: when the particles are mobile, they follow the fluid. We depth average the balance of mass and obtain an evolution equation for the displacement of the bed surface. We solve this equation and compare the predictions with the measurements of surface displacement in earlier experiments on rigid square plates. We carry out new experiments to measure the surface displacements under elongated plates. Elongated rigid plates behave similarly to the rigid square ones. Flexible plates produce multiple heaps. We determine that the peaks of these heaps are correlated with the flexural modes of the plates and occur at points along the bed at which the fluid pressure has its extreme values. Different plate flexural modes, resulting in different numbers of heaps, are produced by driving the plate at different frequencies. The particle motion within the bed and heap evolution under a flexible plate can be roughly described by regarding it as two or more rigid plates. We test the predictions of the theory against experiments.

A series of recent studies has indicated that the component of the bottom drag caused by irregular small-scale topography in the ocean varies non-monotonically with the flow speed. The roughness-induced forcing increases with the speed of relatively slow abyssal currents but, somewhat counterintuitively, starts to decrease when flows are sufficiently swift. This reduction in drag at high speeds leads to the instability of laterally uniform currents, and the resulting evolutionary patterns are explored using numerical and analytical methods. The drag-law instability manifests in the spontaneous emergence of parallel jets, aligned in the direction of the basic flow and separated by relatively quiescent regions. We hypothesize that the mechanisms identified in this investigation could play a role in the dynamics of zonal striations commonly observed in the ocean.
