Destruction of wall-bounded vortices using synthetic jet actuators
Frank A. Tricouros, Cameron Hoober, John C. Vaccaro +1
We experimentally explore the effectiveness of a rectangular orifice synthetic jet actuator for wall-bounded vortex destruction. Vortex flows near a boundary often present unforese…

Complete eddy self-similarity in turbulent pipe flow
Leo Hellström, Tyler Van Buren, John Vaccaro +1
For wall-bounded turbulent flows, Townsend's attached eddy hypothesis proposes that the logarithmic layer is populated by a set of energetic and geometrically self-similar eddies.…

Swimmers' wake structures are not reliable indicators of swimming performance
Daniel Floryan, Tyler Van Buren, Alexander J. Smits
The structure of swimmers' wakes is often assumed to be an indicator of swimming performance, that is, how momentum is produced and energy is consumed. Here, we discuss three cases…
