ABSTRACT Direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional compressible mixing layers with non-premixed hydrogen–air combustion were performed using a detailed chemical reaction mechanism with production. Flow fields with three types of initial disturbances were simulated to investigate the relationship between developing vortical structures and formation. The amounts of and produced in the simple shear layer were smaller than those in the two- and three-dimensional mixing layers with vortical structures. In the mixing layers, the formation and expansion of the combustion region by the roller vortices and the baroclinic torque had a significant impact on production, while the relatively low-temperature combustion region formed by the three-dimensional developed rib vortices in the blade regions between the roller vortices had a large effect on the production. It was found that a two-dimensional simulation can estimate the production, while the information on a three-dimensional mixing layer is necessary to predict the production.

ABSTRACT Since the 1990s, RANS practitioners have observed spontaneous unsteadiness in RANS simulations. Some have suggested deliberately using this as a method of resolving large turbulent structures. However, to date, no one has produced a theoretical justification for this unsteady RANS (URANS) approach. Here, we extend the dynamical system fixed point analysis to create a theoretical model for URANS dynamics. The results are compared to URANS simulations for homogeneous isotropic decaying turbulence. The model shows that URANS can predict incorrect decay rates and that the solution tends towards steady RANS over time. Similar analysis for forced turbulence shows a fixed modelled energy of about 30% of total energy, regardless of the model parameters. The same analysis can be used to show how hybrid type models can begin to address these issues.

ABSTRACT The breakup of a spherical droplet in a decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence is studied by solving the Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes equations. This flow provides a great opportunity to study the interactions of turbulent kinetic energy and interfacial free energy and their effects on the breakup dynamics. Three distinct stages of droplet evolution, namely, the deformation stage, the breakup stage, and the restoration stage, are identified and then analysed systematically from several perspectives: a geometric perspective, a dynamic perspective, a global energetic perspective, and a multiscale energy transfer perspective. It is found that the ending time of the breakup stage can be estimated by the Hinze criterion. The kinetic energy of the two-phase flow during the breakup stage is found to have a power-law decay with an exponent , compared to for the single-phase flow, mainly due to the enhanced viscous dissipation generated by the daughter droplets. Energy spectra of the two-phase flow show power-law decay, with a slope between and , at high wave numbers, both in the Fourier spectral space and in the spherical harmonics space.

ABSTRACT There is a widely accepted conclusion that the wall roughness do not always enhance the heat transport of the turbulent thermal convection. In this paper, the heat transfer efficiency is statistically investigated from the perspective of turbulent structure. The effect of turbulent structure on the heat transfer of Rayleigh–Bénard convection with triangular rough element on the top and bottom plates is numerically simulated by a lattice Boltzmann method. We use a clustering method to identify complex turbulent structures associated with intense events. The reduction of the Nusselt number is obtained for small roughness height H/L, while the enhancement of heat transport appears for large H/L. For the large H/L case, the positive temperature structures occupying the negative heat transfer events reduce the efficiency of the heat transfer. On the contrary, the negative temperature turbulent structures boost the heat transfer. By analyzing the conditional average field, we found that the enhancement of the heat transfer for large H/L cases is due to that the negative temperature structures play a dominant role. For small H/L cases, the positive temperature structures inhibit the heat transfer. Furthermore, the more positive and negative temperature structures for large H/L cases are generated near the solid wall and the corner of the box. The physical explanation for the Nu enhancement is that the more secondary vortices are generated by the interaction of these turbulent structures and the rough wall, leading to more plumes ejected from the boundary layers to the bulk.

The general topic of practical modelling of roughness in turbulent flow is discussed. Double averaging is a useful framework, but most models cannot be construed as term-by-term closures to the double averaged equations. Double averaging justifies a drag representation. Drag models are effective for both Reynolds averaged and eddy resolving simulation. Boundary condition models are primarily viable for Reynolds averaged closure. Those models are calibrated with the Hama roughness function for the log-law. But a perplexing observation is that the VonKarman constant depends on roughness height.

Wall roughness induces form-induced (or dispersive) velocity and pressure perturbations inside the roughness sublayer of a wall-bounded turbulent flow. This work discusses the role played by the form-induced velocity in influencing turbulence statistics and structure, using existing direct numerical simulation data of transient half channels in response to an impulse acceleration (Mangavelli et al. Effects of surface roughness topography in transient channel flows. J Turbul 2021;22:434–460). Focuses are given to (i) reshaping of turbulent coherent motions by the rate-of-strain of the mean velocity, and (ii) contributions of different velocity sources to turbulent pressure fluctuations. Half-channel flows in both fully-developed and non-equilibrium, transient states are discussed. Results show that form-induced velocity gradients not only form an important source of turbulent pressure in an equilibrium flow, but also lead to turbulence production and potentially direct structural change of turbulent eddies in a non-equilibrium flow under acceleration.

In this study, experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of semicircular strip turbulators placed in the inner tube of a concentric heat exchanger on its exergy loss rate (E*) and effectiveness (e). The Reynolds number (Re), pitch (p), diameter (d), thickness (t) and arrangement style (a) were the design parameters for the study. The changes in these parameters had significant effects on exergy loss rate and effectiveness compared to the results found with the smooth empty tube. The results of the study are given graphically as the change in the exergy loss rate and the change in effectiveness with the number of transfer units (NTU). The largest exergy loss rate and effectiveness values were found to be 0.263 and 0.556, respectively. It was concluded that the effectiveness of the heat exchanger increased with increasing NTU, while the exergy loss rate is decreased. Since the increase in effectiveness will mean an increase in heat transfer, it can also cause an increase in irreversibility. For this reason, multi-performance characteristics have been determined since evaluating the effectiveness together with the exergy loss rate caused by irreversibility will provide more realistic results. Thus, the optimum parameter combination was found, where the maximum effectiveness and the smallest exergy loss rate values were obtained. Finally, the artificial neural network (ANN) model of the study was created and the hyperparameters of the model were determined by the Bayesian optimisation method. In the created ANN model, MSE and R values of effectiveness and exergy loss rate were found as 5.3238e-04, 2.18177e-06 and 0.963, 0.998, respectively. According to these results, it has been confirmed that the proposed ANN model can be used successfully in the modelling of the heat exchanger.

We report a direct numerical simulation (DNS) study of the heat transport and temperature profiles of the plume ejecting and impacting regions in the two-dimensional turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection with slippery plates and horizontally periodic boundary conditions. The numerical study is conducted in the parameter range of Rayleigh number from to and the slip length b from 0 (NS) to ∞ (FS) for the top and bottom plates. Two distinct flow patterns can be seen depending on b, namely convection roll state and zonal flow, which affect the Nusselt number and the Reynolds number . We show that the zonal flow occurs when the normalised slip length , where is the thermal boundary layer thickness for the no-slip (NS) plates. and increase with increasing , and can reach the optimum before the generation of the zonal flow. It is observed that with the effective scaling exponent for the convection roll state, and for the zonal flow. Furthermore, for the convection roll state, the power-law scaling of the local heat flux is in the plume ejecting region, while in the plume impacting region, for varying slip length . The DNS data with different slippery plates for both plume ejecting and impacting regions agree well with the predicted temperature profiles by Huang et al. (J Fluid Mech. 2022;943:A2).

Direct numerical simulation of Taylor–Couette flow subject to opposition control is investigated at Reynolds number (Re) of 3000. The idea is to impose exact opposite velocities of the detection plane at the walls to counteract near-wall stream-wise vortices. In this study, various velocity control strategies, namely wall-normal, axial, combined and blowing only, have been investigated from the viewpoint of skin-friction drag reduction. Further, the effects of skipping spatial points in azimuthal and axial directions and in time have been investigated from a drag reduction point of view. Based on the emergence of a virtual wall that hinders the vertical transport of momentum (i.e. on reduction of Reynolds shear stress production as well as sweep ejection events), flow physics has been explained via statistical analysis of fluctuations, Reynolds shear stresses, and near-wall coherent structures. The spatial density of near-wall vortical structures shows a marked reduction, followed by quadrant contribution analysis of Reynolds shear stresses reveals a decrease in ejection and sweep events, leading to reduced production of Reynolds shear stresses and skin-friction drag.

In this paper, the influence of particle-fluid density ratio and particle diameter on the turbulence modulation by finite-size particles in forced homogeneous isotropic turbulence is investigated. Results show that the presence of finite-size particles always attenuate the turbulence, and the attenuation is larger for particles with larger density when the particle diameter is fixed. But the attenuation is smaller for particles with larger diameter if the density is fixed, and the weaker attenuation is due to the wake fluctuation when the particle Reynolds number is large enough. The turbulence kinetic energy is attenuated at the large scales and augmented at the small scales. The radial dissipation profiles show that the region affected by the particles with same diameter is identical, but the dissipation near the particle surface is larger if the density is larger due to larger slip velocity and particle Reynolds number. For particles with same density, smaller particles have smaller dissipation near the particle surface but the influence region is larger, and the combined effect leads to the result that the contribution of dissipation in the influence region of smaller particles to the total dissipation is larger. The influence region mainly depends on the particle diameter.
