Physically Consistent Outflow Boundary Conditions for Global Stability Analysis of Bluff Body Wakes

Guangyao Cui, Amit Sigawi, Michael Karp

Global linear stability analysis of bluff body wake flows is performed using the matrix-forming method based on finite-difference discretization. Particular emphasis is placed on t…

Receptivity of the flow on the stagnation streamline of a blunt body in supersonic flow

Iliya Milman, Michael Karp

The receptivity of the inviscid flow on the stagnation streamline of a blunt body in supersonic flow is investigated theoretically for incoming freestream disturbances. The wave tr…

Landau damping of disturbances in nearly inviscid inflectional shear flows

Evgeny V. Polyachenko, Ilia G. Shukhman, Michael Karp

We investigate the structure of damped two-dimensional perturbations in unstable plane-parallel shear flows with an inflection point. In inviscid flows within the stable wavenumber…

Shock-induced heating and transition to turbulence in a hypersonic boundary layer

Lin Fu, Michael Karp, Sanjeeb T. Bose +2

The interaction between an incident shock wave and a Mach-6 undisturbed hypersonic laminar boundary layer over a cold wall is addressed using direct numerical simulations (DNS) and…

Cause-and-effect of linear mechanisms sustaining wall turbulence

Adrián Lozano-Durán, Navid C. Constantinou, Marios-Andreas Nikolaidis +1

Despite the nonlinear nature of turbulence, there is evidence that part of the energy-transfer mechanisms sustaining wall turbulence can be ascribed to linear processes. The differ…

Alternative physics to understand wall turbulence: Navier-Stokes equations with modified linear dynamics

Adrán Lozano-Durán, Marios-Andreas Nikolaidis, Navid C. Constantinou +1

Despite the nonlinear nature of wall turbulence, there is evidence that the energy-injection mechanisms sustaining wall turbulence can be ascribed to linear processes. The differen…
