Effects of wall-normal and angular momentum injections in airfoil separation control
Phillip M. Munday, Kunihiko Taira
The objective of this computational study is to quantify the influence of wall-normal and angular momentum injections in suppressing laminar flow separation over a canonical airfoi…
Airfoil wake modification with Gurney flap at Low-Reynolds number
Muralikrishnan Gopalakrishnan Meena, Kunihiko Taira, Keisuke Asai
The complex wake modifications produced by a Gurney flap on symmetric NACA airfoils at low Reynolds number are investigated. Two-dimensional incompressible flows over NACA 0000 (fl…
Networked oscillator based modeling and control of unsteady wakes
Aditya G. Nair, Steven L. Brunton, Kunihiko Taira
A networked oscillator based analysis is performed for periodic bluff body flows to examine and control the transfer of kinetic energy. Spatial modes extracted from the flow field…
Biglobal instabilities of compressible open-cavity flows
Y. Sun, K. Taira, L. N. Cattafesta +1
The stability characteristics of compressible spanwise-periodic open-cavity flows are investigated with direct numerical simulation and biglobal stability analysis for rectangular…
Two-dimensional compressible viscous flow around a circular cylinder
Daniel Canuto, Kunihiko Taira
Direct numerical simulation is performed to study compressible, viscous flow around a circular cylinder. The present study considers two-dimensional, shock-free continuum flow by v…
Network-theoretic approach to sparsified discrete vortex dynamics
Aditya G. Nair, Kunihiko Taira
We examine discrete vortex dynamics in two-dimensional flow through a network-theoretic approach. The interaction of the vortices is represented with a graph, which allows the use…
