Elucidating Three-Dimensional Coherent Structures in a Multi-Stream Jet

Mitesh Thakor, Datta V Gaitonde, Yiyang Sun

Nominal two-dimensional (2D) shear layers have been studied extensively, and their principal dynamics are well understood. In practical configurations, however, the behavior of suc…

Optimal and suboptimal spatiotemporal dynamics of multi-shear-layers in rectangular jet

Mitesh Thakor, Datta V. Gaitonde, Yiyang Sun

We analyze the perturbation dynamics of a complex supersonic multi-stream rectangular jet. The dynamics are examined through application of spectral proper orthogonal decomposition…

High-speed micro-actuation in a supersonic dual-stream jet flow

Melissa Yeung, Datta V. Gaitonde, Yiyang Sun

Supersonic shear layers experience instabilities that generate significant adverse effects; in complex configurations, these instabilities have global impacts as they foster compou…

Responses to Disturbance of Supersonic Shear Layer: Input-Output Analysis

Mitesh Thakor, Yiyang Sun, Datta V. Gaitonde

We investigate the perturbation dynamics in a supersonic shear layer using a combination of large-eddy simulations (LES) and linear-operator-based input-output analysis. The flow c…

Shear-Layer Perturbation Responses from Time-Resolved Schlieren Data

Spencer L. Stahl, Chandan Kumar, Datta V. Gaitonde

A novel combination of physics-based and data-driven post-processing techniques is proposed to extract acoustic-related shear-layer perturbation responses directly from spatio-temp…
