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…

Nonlinear dynamics of vortex pairing in transitional jets

Akhil Nekkanti, Tim Colonius, Oliver T. Schmidt

This study investigates the onset of linear instabilities and their later nonlinear interactions in the shear layer of an initially-laminar jet using a combination of stability ana…

Large-scale streaks in a turbulent bluff body wake

Akhil Nekkanti, Sheel Nidhan, Oliver T. Schmidt +1

A turbulent circular disk wake database (Chongsiripinyo \& Sarkar, \textit{J. Fluid Mech.}, vol. 885, 2020) at Reynolds number is inte…

Gappy spectral proper orthogonal decomposition

Akhil Nekkanti, Oliver T. Schmidt

Experimental spatio-temporal flow data often contain gaps or other types of undesired artifacts. To reconstruct flow data in the compromised or missing regions, a data completion m…

Frequency-time analysis, low-rank reconstruction and denoising of turbulent flows using SPOD

Akhil Nekkanti, Oliver T. Schmidt

Four different applications of spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD): low-rank reconstruction, denoising, frequency-time analysis, and prewhitening are demonstrated on la…
