Convection velocities and velocity coupling of outer-scaled wall-pressure fluctuations in canonical turbulent boundary layers

Rahul Deshpande, Abdelrahman Hassanein, Woutijn J. Baars

This study shows that the turbulent velocities most strongly correlated with outer-scaled (-scaled) wall-pressure fluctuations beneath a zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer re…

Instantaneous convective heat transfer at the wall: a depiction of turbulent boundary layer structures

Firoozeh Foroozan, Andrea Ianiro, Stefano Discetti +1

We demonstrate the ability to experimentally measure fluctuations of the convective heat transfer coefficient at the wall in a turbulent boundary layer. For this, we measure two-di…

Scaling of wall-pressure--velocity correlations in high Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow

Giulio Dacome, Lorenzo Lazzarini, Alessandro Talamelli +2

An experimental study was conducted in the CICLoPE long-pipe facility to investigate the correlation between wall-pressure and turbulent velocity fluctuations in the logarithmic re…

Measuring time-resolved heat transfer fluctuations on a heated-thin foil in a turbulent channel airflow

Antonio Cuéllar, Enrico Amico, Jacopo Serpieri +4

We present an experimental setup to perform time-resolved convective heat transfer measurements in a turbulent channel flow with air as the working fluid. We employ a heated thin f…

Density Field Reconstruction of an Overexpanded Supersonic Jet using Tomographic Background-Oriented Schlieren

Joachim A. Bron, Woutijn J. Baars, Ferdinand F. J. Schrijer

A Tomographic Background-Oriented Schlieren (TBOS) technique is developed to aid in the visualization of compressible flows. An experimental setup was devised around a sub-scale ro…

Low-Frequency Intensity Modulation of High-Frequency Rotor Noise

Woutijn J. Baars, Daniele Ragni

Acoustic spectra of rotor noise yield frequency-distributions of energy within pressure time series. However, they are unable to reveal phase-relations between different frequency…

Opposition flow control for reducing skin-friction drag of a turbulent boundary layer

Giulio Dacome, Robin Mörsch, Marios Kotsonis +1

This work explores the dynamic response of a turbulent boundary layer to large-scale reactive opposition control, at a friction Reynolds number of . A hot-film…

Inner-scaled Helmholtz resonators with grazing turbulent boundary layer flow

Giulio Dacome, Renko Siebols, Woutijn J. Baars

Response details are presented of small-scale Helmholtz resonators excited by grazing turbulent boundary layer flow. A particular focus lies on scaling of the resonance, in relatio…

Reynolds-number scaling of wall-pressure--velocity correlations in wall-bounded turbulence

Woutijn J. Baars, Giulio Dacome, Myoungkyu Lee

Wall-pressure fluctuations are a practically robust input for real-time control systems aimed at modifying wall-bounded turbulence. The scaling behaviour of the wall-pressure--velo…

Quantifying inner-outer interactions in non-canonical wall-bounded flows

Mogeng Li, Woutijn J. Baars, Ivan Marusic +1

We investigate the underlying physics behind the change in amplitude modulation coefficient in non-canonical wall-bounded flows in the framework of the inner-outer interaction mode…

The large-scale footprint in small-scale Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence

Pieter Berghout, Woutijn Johannes Baars, Dominik Krug

Turbulent convection systems are known to give rise to prominent large scale circulation. At the same time, the `background' (or `small-scale') turbulence is also highly relevant a…

Near wall coherence in wall-bounded flows and implications for flow control

Milad Samie, Woutijn Baars, Amirreza Rouhi +4

Opposition-control of the energetic cycle of near wall streaks in wall-bounded turbulence, using numerical approaches, has shown promise for drag reduction. For practical implement…

Flow dynamics and wall-pressure signature in high-Reynolds number overexpanded nozzle with free shock separation

E. Martelli, L. Saccoccio, P. P. Ciottoli +3

A delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) of an overexpanded nozzle flow with shock-induced separation is carried out at a Reynolds number equal to 1.7 10^7. The flow unsteadiness,…
