Bispectral decomposition and energy transfer in a turbulent jet

Akhil Nekkanti, Ethan Pickering, Oliver T. Schmidt +1

We employ bispectral mode decomposition (BMD) to investigate coherent triadic interactions and nonlinear energy transfer in a subsonic turbulent jet. BMD extracts the flow structur…

The effect of flight on a turbulent jet: coherent structure eduction and resolvent analysis

Igor A. Maia, Liam Heidt, Ethan Pickering +3

We study coherent structures in subsonic turbulent jets subject to a flight stream. A thorough characterisation of the effects of a flight stream on the turbulent field was recentl…

Efficient global resolvent analysis via the one-way Navier-Stokes equations. Part 2. Optimal response

Georgios Rigas, Omar Kamal, Aaron Towne +1

In this study, we develop an efficient approach for approximating resolvent modes via spatial marching. Building on the methodology from Part 1, we leverage the ability of the proj…

Efficient global resolvent analysis via the one-way Navier-Stokes equations. Part 1. Forced response

Aaron Towne, Georgios Rigas, Ethan Pickering +1

Resolvent analysis is a powerful tool for modeling and analyzing turbulent flows and in particular provides an approximation of coherent flow structures. Despite recent algorithmic…

Resolvent-based modeling of turbulent jet noise

Ethan Pickering, Aaron Towne, Peter Jordan +1

Resolvent analysis has demonstrated encouraging results for modeling coherent structures in jets when compared against their data-educed counterparts from high-fidelity large-eddy…

Optimal eddy viscosity for resolvent-based models of coherent structures in turbulent jets

Ethan Pickering, Georgios Rigas, Oliver T. Schmidt +2

Response modes computed via linear resolvent analysis of a turbulent mean-flow field have been shown to qualitatively capture characteristics of the observed turbulent coherent str…

Lift-up, Kelvin-Helmholtz and Orr mechanisms in turbulent jets

Ethan Pickering, Georgios Rigas, Petrônio A. S. Nogueira +3

Three amplification mechanisms present in turbulent jets, namely lift-up, Kelvin-Helmholtz, and Orr, are characterized via global resolvent analysis and spectral proper orthogonal…
