Turbulence Modelling of Mixing Layers under Anisotropic Strain

Bradley Pascoe, Michael Groom, Ben Thornber

The development of turbulent mixing layers can be altered by the application of anisotropic strain rates, potentially arising from radial motion in convergent geometry or movement…

Impact of transverse strain on linear, transitional and self-similar turbulent mixing layers

Bradley Pascoe, Michael Groom, David L. Youngs +1

The growth of interfacial instabilities such as the Rayleigh-Taylor (RTI) and Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) are modified when developing in convergent geometries. Whilst thes…

A five-equation model for the simulation of miscible and viscous compressible fluids

Ben Thornber, Michael Groom, David Youngs

Typical multispecies compressible Navier-Stokes computations employ conservative equations for mass fraction transport. Upwind discretisations of these governing equations produce…
