A quantitative analysis of leading edge vortices in flapping wing aerodynamics
Alejandro Gonzalo, Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Oscar Flores
The leading edge vortex (LEV) is one of the most important lift augmentation mechanisms in flapping wing aerodynamics. We propose a methodology that aims to provide a quantitative…
An efficient method for particle-resolved simulations of neutrally buoyant spheres
Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Blanca Fuentes, Jan Dusek +2
We present a simple modification of the direct-forcing immersed boundary method (IBM) proposed by Uhlmann [J. Comput. Phys, 2005] in order to enable it to be applied to particulate…
Influence of the approach boundary layer on the flow over an axisymmetric hill at a moderate Reynolds number
Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Jan G. Wissink, Wolfgang Rodi
Large Eddy Simulations of a flow at a moderate Reynolds number over and around a three-dimensional hill have been performed. The main aim of the simulations was to study the effect…
A numerical study of a variable-density low-speed turbulent mixing layer
Antonio Almagro, Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Oscar Flores
Direct numerical simulations of a temporally-developing, low-speed, variable-density, turbulent, plane mixing layer are performed. The Navier-Stokes equations in the low-Mach numbe…
On the aerodynamic forces on heaving and pitching airfoils at low Reynolds number
Manuel Moriche, Oscar Flores, Manuel Garcia-Villalba
The influence that the kinematics of pitching and heaving 2D airfoils have on the aerodynamic forces is investigated using Direct Numerical Simulations and a force decomposition al…
Spatial and temporal scales of force and torque acting on wall-mounted spherical particles in open channel flow
Clemens Chan-Braun, Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Markus Uhlmann
Data from direct numerical simulation of open channel flow over a geometrically rough wall at a bulk Reynolds number of 2900, generated by Chan-Braun et al. ["Force and torque acti…
DNS of vertical plane channel flow with finite-size particles: Voronoi analysis, acceleration statistics and particle-conditioned averaging
Manuel Garcia-Villalba, Aman G. Kidanemariam, Markus Uhlmann
We have performed a direct numerical simulation of dilute turbulent particulate flow in a vertical plane channel, fully resolving the phase interfaces. The flow conditions are the…
