Experimental study of the initial growth of a localized turbulent patch in a stably stratified fluid
Lilly Verso, Maarten van Reeuwijk, Roi Gurka +3
We present a laboratory experiment of the growth of a turbulent patch in a stably stratified fluid, due to a localized source of turbulence, generated by an oscillating grid. Synch…
Estimation of unsteady aerodynamics in the wake of a freely flying European starling
Hadar Ben-Gida, Adam Kirchhefer, Zachary J. Taylor +4
Wing flapping is one of the most widespread propulsion methods found in nature; however, the current understanding of the aerodynamics in bird wakes is incomplete. The role of the…
Experiments on the vortex wake of a swimming knifefish
Zachary J. Taylor, Alexander Liberzon, Roi Gurka +3
The knifefish species propels itself by generating a reverse Karman street from an anal fin and without significantly moving its body. This unique feature makes this species' propu…
Turbulent flow over a house in a simulated hurricane boundary layer
Zachary Taylor, Murray Morrison, Roi Gurka +1
Every year hurricanes and other extreme wind storms cause billions of dollars in damage worldwide. For residential construction, such failures are usually associated with roofs, wh…
