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…

On the effect of airfoil geometry on extreme vortex-gust encounters
Barbara Lopez-Doriga, Anya R. M. Jones, Kunihiko Taira
Historically, investigations on gust encounters have been limited to thin airfoils. In this work, we examine vortex-gust encounters by a family of airfoils at a chord-based Reynold…

Extracting dominant dynamics about unsteady base flows
Alec J. Linot, Barbara Lopez-Doriga, Yonghong Zhong +1
A wide range of techniques exist for extracting the dominant flow dynamics and features about steady, or periodic base flows. However, there have been limited efforts in extracting…
