Fluctuation covariance-based study of roll-streak dynamics in Poiseuille flow turbulence

Marios-Andreas Nikolaidis, Petros J. Ioannou, Brian F. Farrell

Although the roll-streak (R-S) is fundamentally involved in the dynamics of wall-turbulence, the physical mechanism responsible for its formation and maintenance remains controvers…

A vectorized Navier-Stokes ensemble direct numerical simulation code for plane parallel flows

Marios-Andreas Nikolaidis

We present a pseudo-spectal Navier-Stokes solver for plane parallel flows (Couette/Poiseuille), that has been developed on the MATLAB programming language. The code performs direct…

Investigating nonlinearity in wall turbulence: regenerative versus parametric mechanisms

B. F. Farrell, E. Kim, H. J. Bae +2

Both linear growth processes associated with non-normality of the mean flow and nonlinear interaction transferring energy among fluctuations contribute to maintaining turbulence. H…

Mechanism of Roll-Streak Structure Formation and Maintenance in Turbulent Shear Flow

B. F. Farrell, P. J. Ioannou, M. -A. Nikolaidis

In wall-bounded shear flow the primary coherent structure is the streamwise roll and streak (R-S). Absent of an associated instability the R-S has been ascribed to non-normality me…

POD-based study of turbulent plane Poiseuille flow: comparing structure and dynamics between quasi-linear simulations and DNS

Marios-Andreas Nikolaidis, Petros J. Ioannou, Brian F. Farrell +1

Turbulence in the restricted nonlinear (RNL) dynamics is analyzed and compared with DNS of Poiseuille turbulence at . The structures are obtained by POD analysis of the two…

Synchronization of Low Reynolds Number Plane Couette Turbulence

Marios-Andreas Nikolaidis, Petros J. Ioannou

We demonstrate that a separation of the velocity field in large and small scales according to a streamwise Fourier decomposition identifies subspaces with stable Lyapunov exponents…
