Coherent structures at the origin of time irreversibility in wall turbulence

Giovanni Iacobello, Subharthi Chowdhuri, Luca Ridolfi +2

Time irreversibility is a distinctive feature of non-equilibrium phenomena such as turbulent flows, where irreversibility is mainly associated with an energy cascade process. An Eu…

Load estimation in unsteady flows from sparse pressure measurements: Application of transition networks to experimental data

Giovanni Iacobello, Frieder Kaiser, David E. Rival

Inspired by biological swimming and flying with distributed sensing, we propose a data-driven approach for load estimation that relies on complex networks. We exploit sparse, real-…

Large-to-small scale frequency modulation analysis in wall-bounded turbulence via visibility networks

Giovanni Iacobello, Luca Ridolfi, Stefania Scarsoglio

Scale interaction is studied in wall-bounded turbulence by focusing on the frequency modulation (FM) mechanism of large scales on small scale velocity fluctuations. Differently fro…

Visibility network analysis of large-scale intermittency in convective surface layer turbulence

Subharthi Chowdhuri, Giovanni Iacobello, Tirtha Banerjee

Large-scale intermittency is a widely observed phenomenon in convective surface layer turbulence that induces non-Gaussian temperature statistics, while such signature is not obser…
