Wake dynamics of finite-aspect-ratio rotating circular cylinders at low Reynolds number

Kai Zhang, Yong Cao, Hanfeng Wang +3

We perform direct numerical simulations of flows over finite-aspect-ratio rotating circular cylinders at a Reynolds number of 150 over a range of aspect ratios () and rota…

End boundary effects on wakes dynamics of inclined circular cylinders

Kai Zhang, Yan Bao, Dai Zhou +1

We perform direct numerical simulations to characterize the three-dimensional wake dynamics of long inclined circular cylinders with inhomogeneous end boundary conditions. Three Re…

Turbulence suppression by streamwise-varying wall rotation in pipe flow

Xu Liu, Hongbo Zhu, Yan Bao +2

Direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of turbulent pipe flow subjected to streamwise-varying wall rotation are performed. This control method is able to achieve drag reduction and ev…

Bistability in the wake of a wavy cylinder

Kai Zhang, Dai Zhou, Hiroshi Katsuchi +3

We investigate the wake dynamics of an optimally designed wavy cylinder that completely suppresses the Kármán vortex shedding. Such a wavy cylinder is forced to oscillate with a si…
