Growth of helicity in salt-finger convection in the two-dimensional three-component limit
Smiron Varghese, Benjamin Miquel, Wouter Bos
We present an analytical investigation of the global helicity budget associated with the salt-fingering instability within the two-dimensional, three-component framework. Our analy…
The Role of Vortex Stretching in Drag Reduction of Polymer-Laden Turbulent Flow
Wouter J. T. Bos, Xuan Shao, Tong Wu +1
An addition of polymers can significantly reduce drag in wall-bounded turbulent flows, such as pipes or channels. This phenomenon is accompanied by a noticeable modification of the…
The influence of the vorticity-scalar correlation on mixing
Xi-Yuan Yin, Wesley Agoua, Tong Wu +1
We investigate the role of the correlation between a scalar quantity and the vorticity in two-dimensional mixing at infinite Péclet number. We assess, using a diffusivity independe…
Flow dynamics and magnetic induction in the von-Karman plasma experiment
Nicolas Plihon, Guillaume Bousselin, Francesco Palermo +7
The von-Karman plasma experiment is a novel versatile experimental device designed to explore the dynamics of basic magnetic induction processes and the dynamics of flows driven in…
On the strength of the nonlinearity in isotropic turbulence
Wouter Bos, Robert Rubinstein
Turbulence governed by the Navier-Stokes equations shows a tendency to evolve towards a state in which the nonlinearity is diminished. In fully developed turbulence this tendency c…
