The stabilizing effect of grooves on Görtler instability-induced boundary layer transition in hypersonic flow

The stabilizing effect of grooves on Görtler instability-induced boundary layer transition in hypersonic flow

Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. Görtler vortex-induced hypersonic boundary layer transition controlled by grooves is investigated using direct numerical simulations and spatial bi-global stability analysis. In the simulations, Görtle…

Multiphase flow characteristics and gas loss in the shear layer on a ventilated supercavity wall

Multiphase flow characteristics and gas loss in the shear layer on a ventilated supercavity wall

Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. The shear flow on the large-scale gas–water wall inside a ventilated supercavity exhibits gas entrainment mode and determines the change law of the supercavity’s gas loss, significantly impacting the s…

Oil–water two-phase flow-induced vibration of a cylindrical cyclone with vortex finder

Oil–water two-phase flow-induced vibration of a cylindrical cyclone with vortex finder

Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. Cylindrical cyclones play an important role in oil–water separation and sewage treatment in the petroleum industry. Here, we describe the characteristics of vibration induced by a two-phase rotational …

A physics-preserving pure streamfunction formulation and high-order compact solver with high-resolution for three-dimensional steady incompressible flows

A physics-preserving pure streamfunction formulation and high-order compact solver with high-resolution for three-dimensional steady incompressible flows

Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. In this paper, a pure streamfunction high-order compact (HOC) difference solver is proposed for three-dimensional (3D) steady incompressible flows. A physics-preserving pure streamfunction formulation …
