Forcing-informed resolvent analysis: Identification of input-output relations in self-sustained flows

Yuta Iwatani, Kunihiko Taira, Soshi Kawai

We present a forcing-informed (FI) resolvent analysis framework to identify input-output relations for statistically stationary self-sustained unsteady flows. The central idea of t…

Vortical similarities across laminar and turbulent extreme gust encounters

Hiroto Odaka, Barbara Lopez-Doriga, Kunihiko Taira

This study uncovers a striking similarity between massively separated laminar and turbulent flows that develop over a square wing during extreme vortex gust encounters. The evolvin…

Extreme vortex gust encounters by a square wing

Hiroto Odaka, Luke Smith, Kunihiko Taira

Extreme gust encounters by finite wings with disturbance velocity exceeding their cruise speed remain largely unexplored, while particularly relevant to miniature-scale aircraft. T…

Influence of three-dimensionality on wake synchronization of oscillatory cylinder

Youngjae Kim, Vedasri Godavarthi, Laura Victoria Rolandi +2

We investigate the effect of three-dimensionality on the synchronization characteristics of the wake behind an oscillating circular cylinder at Re = 300. Cylinder oscillations in r…

The effect of Reynolds number on the separated flow over a low-aspect-ratio wing

Luke Smith, Kunihiko Taira

At high incidence, low-aspect-ratio wings present a unique set of aerodynamic characteristics, including flow separation, vortex shedding, and unsteady force production. Furthermor…
