Low-dimensional Galerkin projection models for predicting turbulent secondary mean flow in a square duct

Ahmed I. El-Nadi, Ricardo Vinuesa, Scott T. M. Dawson

The presence of sidewalls in turbulent duct flows leads to the emergence of secondary flow structures in the form of counter-rotating streamwise vortices near the corners (Prandtl'…

Data-Driven Reduced-Complexity Modeling of Fluid Flows: A Community Challenge

Oliver T. Schmidt, Aaron Towne, Adrian Lozano-Duran +2

We introduce a community challenge designed to facilitate direct comparisons between data-driven methods for compression, forecasting, and sensing of complex aerospace flows. The c…

Observer-based neural networks for flow estimation and control

Tarcísio C. Déda, William R. Wolf, Scott T. M. Dawson +1

Neural network observers (NNOs) are proposed for real-time estimation of fluid flows, addressing a key challenge in flow control: obtaining real-time flow states from a limited set…

Operator theoretic causality analysis of fluid flows using linearized dynamics

Ankit Srivastava, Victor Jimenez-Fernandez, Louis Cattafesta +1

This paper presents an operator-theoretic framework, Linear Operator Causality Analysis (LOCA), for analyzing causality in linearized dynamical systems, focusing here on fluid flow…

Sparsity-promoting methods for isolating dominant linear amplification mechanisms in wall-bounded flows

Scott T. M. Dawson, Jaime Prado Zayas, Barbara Lopez-Doriga

This work proposes a method to identify and isolate the physical mechanisms that are responsible for linear energy amplification in fluid flows. This is achieved by applying a spar…

Transient growth and nonlinear breakdown of wavelet-based resolvent modes in turbulent channel flow

Eric Ballouz, Scott T. M. Dawson, H. Jane Bae

We study the effectiveness of the time-localised principal resolvent forcing mode at actuating the near wall cycle of turbulence. The mode is restricted to a wavelet pulse and comp…

Wavelet-based resolvent analysis of non-stationary flows

Eric Ballouz, Barbara Lopez-Doriga, Scott T. M. Dawson +1

This work introduces a formulation of resolvent analysis that uses wavelet transforms rather than Fourier transforms in time. Under this formulation, resolvent analysis may extend…

Sparse space-time resolvent analysis for statistically-stationary and time-varying flows

Barbara Lopez-Doriga, Eric Ballouz, H. Jane Bae +1

Resolvent analysis provides a framework to predict coherent spatio-temporal structures of largest linear energy amplification, through a singular value decomposition (SVD) of the r…

Linear and nonlinear Granger causality analysis of turbulent duct flows

Barbara Lopez-Doriga, Marco Atzori, Ricardo Vinuesa +3

This research focuses on the identification and causality analysis of coherent structures that arise in turbulent flows in square and rectangular ducts. Coherent structures are fir…

Transient growth of wavelet-based resolvent modes in the buffer layer of wall-bounded turbulence

Eric Ballouz, Scott T. M. Dawson, H. Jane Bae

In this work, we study the transient growth of the principal resolvent modes in the minimal flow unit using a reformulation of resolvent analysis in a time-localized wavelet basis.…

Resolvent-based study of compressibility effects on supersonic turbulent boundary layers

H. Jane Bae, Scott T. M. Dawson, Beverley J. McKeon

The resolvent formulation of McKeon & Sharma (2010) is applied to supersonic turbulent boundary layers to study the validity of Morkovin's hypothesis, which postulates that high-sp…
