Inertial waves and mean velocity profiles in a rotating pipe and a circular annulus with axial flow
Yantao Yang, Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico, J. Z. Wu +1
In this paper we solve the inviscid inertial wave solutions in a circular pipe or annulus rotating constantly about its axis with moderate angular speed. The solutions are construc…
Salinity transfer in bounded double diffusive convection
Yantao Yang, Erwin P. van der Poel, Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico +4
The double diffusive convection between two parallel plates is numerically studied for a series of parameters. The flow is driven by the salinity difference and stabilized by the t…
Logarithmic mean temperature profiles and their connection to plume emissions in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Erwin P. van der Poel, Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico, Roberto Verzicco +2
Two-dimensional simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard convection at show that vertical logarithmic mean temperature profiles can be observed in regions of the bounda…
Direct numerical simulation of Taylor-Couette flow with grooved walls: torque scaling and flow structure
Xiaojue Zhu, Rodolfo Ostilla Mónico, Roberto Verzicco +1
We present direct numerical simulations of Taylor-Couette flow with grooved walls at a fixed radius ratio with inner cylinder Reynolds number up to $Re_i=3.76\tim…
Drag reduction in numerical two-phase Taylor-Couette turbulence using an Euler-Lagrange approach
Vamsi Spandan, Rodolfo Ostilla-Monico, Roberto Verzicco +1
Two-phase turbulent Taylor-Couette (TC) flow is simulated using an Euler-Lagrange approach to study the effects of a secondary phase dispersed into a turbulent carrier phase (here…
The near-wall region of highly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow
Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico, Roberto Verzicco, Siegfried Grossmann +1
Direct numerical simulations of the Taylor-Couette (TC) problem, the flow between two coaxial and independently rotating cylinders, have been performed. The study focuses on TC flo…
