Finite-sized rigid spheres in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow
Dennis Bakhuis, Ruben A. Verschoof, Varghese Mathai +3
We report on the modification of drag by neutrally buoyant spherical particles in highly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow. These particles can be used to disentangle the effects of si…
Air cavities at the inner cylinder of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow
Ruben A. Verschoof, Dennis Bakhuis, Pim A. Bullee +3
Air cavities, i.e. air layers developed behind cavitators, are seen as a promising drag reducing method in the maritime industry. Here we utilize the Taylor-Couette (TC) geometry,…
Mixed insulating and conducting thermal boundary conditions in Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Dennis Bakhuis, Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico, Erwin P. van der Poel +2
A series of direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard convection, the flow in a fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above, were conducted to investigate the effect…
