Controlling secondary flows in Taylor-Couette flow using stress-free boundary conditions

V. Jeganathan, K. Alba, R. Ostilla-Mónico

Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, the flow between two independently rotating and co-axial cylinders is commonly used as a canonical model for shear flows. Unlike plane Couette, pinned sec…

Regime crossover in Rayleigh-Benard convection with mixed boundary conditions

Rodolfo Ostilla-Monico, Amit Amritkar

We numerically simulate three-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection, the flow in a fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above, with inhomogeneous temperature boundary con…

Turbulence generation through an iterative cascade of the elliptical instability

Ryan McKeown, Rodolfo Ostilla-Monico, Alain Pumir +2

The essence of turbulent flow is the conveyance of energy through the formation, interaction, and destruction of eddies over a wide range of spatial scales--from the largest scales…

Large-scale structures in high Reynolds number rotating Waleffe flow

Shafqat Farooq, Martin Huarte-Espinosa, Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico

We perform direct numerical simulations of rotating turbulent Waleffe flow, the flow between two parallel plates with a sinusoidal streamwise shear driving force, to study the form…

Dynamics and evolution of Turbulent Taylor rolls

Francesco Sacco, Roberto Verzicco, Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico

In many shear- and pressure-driven wall-bounded turbulent flows secondary motions spontaneously develop and their interaction with the main flow alters the overall large-scale feat…

A Cascade Leading to the Emergence of Small Structures in Vortex Ring Collisions

Ryan McKeown, Rodolfo Ostilla-Monico, Alain Pumir +2

When vortex rings collide head-on at high enough Reynolds numbers, they ultimately annihilate through a violent interaction which breaks down their cores into a turbulent cloud. We…
