A perturbative model for predicting the high-Reynolds-number behaviour of the streamwise travelling waves technique in turbulent drag reduction

Marco Belan, Maurizio Quadrio

The background of this work is the problem of reducing the aerodynamic turbulent friction drag, which is an important source of energy waste in innumerable technological fields. We…

A model for steady flows of magma-volatile mixtures

Marco Belan, Enzo Cataldo

A general one-dimensional model for the steady adiabatic motion of liquid-volatile mixtures in vertical ducts with varying cross-section is presented. The liquid contains a dissolv…

Hydrodynamics of Hypersonic Jets: Experiments and Numerical Simulations

Marco Belan, Sergio de Ponte, Daniela Tordella +4

Stars form in regions of the galaxy that are denser and cooler than the mean interstellar medium. These regions are called Giant Molecular Clouds. At the beginning of their life, u…

Experimental assessment of drag reduction by traveling waves in a turbulent pipe flow

Franco Auteri, Arturo Baron, Marco Belan +2

We experimentally assess the capabilities of an active, open-loop technique for drag reduction in turbulent wall flows recently introduced by Quadrio et al. [J. Fluid Mech., v.627,…

Highly under-expanded jets in the presence of a transverse density gradient

Marco Belan, Sergio De Ponte, Daniela Tordella

An experimental research concerning highly underexpanded jets made of different gases from the surrounding ambient is here described. By selecting different species of gases, it wa…

Determination of density and concentration from fluorescent images of a gas flow

Marco Belan, Sergio De Ponte, Daniela Tordella

A fluorescent image analysis procedure to determine the distribution of species concentration and density in a gas flow is proposed. The fluorescent emission is due to the excitati…
