Alves Portela F, Papadakis G, Vassilicos JC, 2018, Turbulence dissipation and the role of coherent structures in the near wake of a square prism, Physical Review Fluids, Vol: 3, ISSN: 2469-990X
Between streamwise distances 4d and at least 10d in the planar turbulent wake of a square prism of side length d, the turbulent fluctuating velocities are highly non-Gaussian, the turbulent energy spectrum has a close to −5/3 power law range, and the turbulence dissipation rate obeys the nonequilibrium dissipation scaling if the energy of the coherent structures is not included in the scaling. In this same range of streamwise distances, the coherent structure dissipation rate decays proportionally to the stochastic turbulence dissipation rate and there is a strong tendency of alignment or antialignment between fluctuating velocities and fluctuating vorticities which appears to coincide with the presence of coherent structures.
Papadakis G, Vassilicos C, Basbug S, 2018, Reduced mixing time in stirred vessels by means of irregular impellers, Physical Review Fluids, Vol: 3, ISSN: 2469-990X
Previous research has shown that using fractal-like blades instead of regular ones can result in a significant decrease in the power consumption of an unbaffled stirred vessel with a four-bladed radial impeller. In order to fully assess the mixing efficiency of a fractal-like or just irregular impeller with respect to a regular impeller, the mixing time required to homogenize an injected passive scalar was evaluated for both impeller types at Re = 320 and 1600 using direct numerical simulations. It was observed that the irregular impeller can lead to a considerably shorter mixing time. This result was explained by the differences in characteristics of flow and scalar fields generated by the two impellers. We also assess the effect of Re in the transitional regime. Moreover, a simple mathematical model is proposed which can approximate the decay rate of the passive scalar fluctuations integrated over the tank volume.
Papadakis G, Gallis M, Torczynski JR, et al., 2018, Gas-kinetic simulation of sustained turbulence in minimal Couette flow, Physical Review Fluids, Vol: 3, ISSN: 2469-990X
We provide a demonstration that gas-kinetic methods incorporating molecular chaos can simulate the sustained turbulence that occurs in wall-bounded turbulent shear flows. The direct simulation Monte Carlo method, a gas-kinetic molecular method that enforces molecular chaos for gas-molecule collisions, is used to simulate the minimal Couette flow at Re=500. The resulting law of the wall, the average wall shear stress, the average kinetic energy, and the continually regenerating coherent structures all agree closely with corresponding results from direct numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. These results indicate that molecular chaos for collisions in gas-kinetic methods does not prevent development of molecular-scale long-range correlations required to form hydrodynamic-scale turbulent coherent structures.
Paul I, Papadakis G, Vassilicos JC, 2018, Direct numerical simulation of heat transfer from a cylinder immersed in the production and decay regions of grid-element turbulence, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol: 847, Pages: 452-488, ISSN: 0022-1120
The present direct numerical simulation (DNS) study, the first of its kind, explores the effect that the location of a cylinder, immersed in the turbulent wake of a grid-element, has on heat transfer. An insulated single square grid-element is used to generate the turbulent wake upstream of the heated circular cylinder. Due to fine-scale resolution requirements, the simulations are carried out for a low Reynolds number. Three locations downstream of the grid-element, inside the production, peak and decay regions, respectively, are considered. The turbulent flow in the production and peak regions is highly intermittent, non-Gaussian and inhomogeneous, while it is Gaussian, homogeneous and fully turbulent in the decay region. The turbulence intensities at the location of the cylinder in the production and decay regions are almost equal at 11Â %, while the peak location has the highest turbulence intensity of 15Â %. A baseline simulation of heat transfer from the cylinder without oncoming turbulence was also performed. Although the oncoming turbulent intensities are similar, the production region increases the stagnation point heat transfer by 63Â %, while in the decay region it is enhanced by only 28Â %. This difference cannot be explained only by the increased approaching velocity in the production region. The existing correlations for the stagnation point heat transfer coefficient are found invalid for the production and peak locations, while they are satisfied in the decay region. It is established that the flow in the production and peak regions is dominated by shedding events, in which the predominant vorticity component is in the azimuthal direction. This leads to increased heat transfer from the cylinder, even before vorticity is stretched by the accelerating boundary layer. The frequency of oncoming turbulence in production and peak cases also lies close to the range of frequencies that can penetrate the boundary layer developing on the
Thomareis N, Papadakis G, 2018, Resolvent analysis of separated and attached flows around anairfoil at transitional Reynolds number, Physical Review Fluids, Vol: 3, ISSN: 2469-990X
We analyze the resolvent operator in three flows around a nominal NACA-0012 airfoil at ReC=50,000and 5∘ angle of attack. In particular, we study two naturally developing flows (around the airfoil with straight and blunt trailing edges) and one tripped flow. The naturally developing flows exhibit laminar separation, transition and turbulent reattachment, while the tripped flow remains attached in the suction side. For all cases, the time-averaged flow fields are computed from separate DNS simulations. The resolvent analysis can identify the areas of maximum receptivity of the flow field as well as the most amplified modes (optimal response). The former was located close to the leading edge, and in the case of naturally developing flows, also in the free-stream. The spatial distribution of optimal forcing was dominated by structures tilted against the mean flow, in agreement with other studies of boundary layer flows. The optimal response of the two naturally developing flows were different. For the NACA-0012 airfoil with straight trailing edge, the response was maximized at the natural frequency of the separating shear layer, and the shape matched closely with the corresponding DMD mode obtained from processing the DNS results. For the blunt airfoil, the receptivity of the separating shear layer was suppressed in the region of natural frequency, while it was maximized at the frequency of vortex shedding from the trailing edge. This is attributed to the lock-in mechanism between the shedding and the separating shear layer observed in the DNS simulations; the lock-in makes the separating shear layer less sensitive to forcing. In the tripped flow, the amplification of the perturbations is significantly diminished, and only by restricting the resolvent analysis to a region close to the suction side can we get a dominant frequency that matches with DNS at that region. The dominant resolvent modes were used to get estimations of the velocity spectra based only on the mean

Basbug S, Papadakis G, Vassilicos C, 2018, Reduced power consumption in stirred vessels by means of fractal impellers, AIChE Journal, Vol: 64, Pages: 1485-1499, ISSN: 0001-1541
Earlier studies have shown that the power consumption of an unbaffled stirred vessel decreases significantly when the regular blades are replaced by fractal ones. In this paper, the physical explanation for this reduction is investigated using Direct Numerical Simulations at Re = 1600. The gaps around the fractal blade perimeter create jets that penetrate inside the recirculation zone in the wake and break up the trailing vortices into smaller ones. This affects the time‐average recirculation pattern on the suction side. The volume of the separation region is 7% smaller in the wake of the fractal blades. The lower torque of the fractal impeller is equivalent to a decreased transport of angular momentum; this difference stems from the reduced turbulent transport induced by the smaller trailing vortices. The major difference in the turbulent dissipation is seen in the vicinity of trailing vortices, due to fluctuations of velocity gradients at relatively low frequencies.
Papadakis G, Paul I, Vassilicos C, 2018, Evolution of passive scalar statistics in a spatially developingturbulence, Physical Review Fluids, Vol: 3, ISSN: 2469-990X
We investigate the evolution of passive scalar statistics in a spatially developing turbulence using Direct Numerical Simulation. Turbulence is generated by a square grid-element, which is heated continuously, and the passive scalar is temperature. The square element is the fundamental building block for both regular and fractal grids. We trace the dominant mechanisms responsible for the dynamical evolution of scalar variance and scalar dissipation along the bar and grid-element centrelines. The scalar-variance is generated predominantly by the action of mean scalar gradient behind the bar and is transported laterally by turbulent fluctuations to the grid-element centreline. The scalar dissipation (proportional to the scalar gradient variance) is produced primarily by the compression of the fluctuating scalar gradient vector by the turbulent strain-rate, while the contribution of mean velocity and scalar fields is negligible. Close to the grid element the scalar spectrum exhibits a well-defined -5/3 power law, even though the basic premises of the Kolmogorov-Obukhov-Corrsin theory are not satisfied (the fluctuating scalar field is highly intermittent, inhomogeneous and anisotropic, and the local Corrsin-microscale-Peclet number is small). At this location, the PDF of scalar gradient production is only slightly skewed towards positive and the fluctuating scalar gradient vector aligns only with the compressive strain-rate eigenvector. The scalar gradient vector is stretched/compressed stronger than the vorticity vector by turbulent strain-rate throughout the grid-element centreline. However, the alignment of the former changes much earlier in space than that of the latter, resulting in scalar dissipation to decay earlier along the grid-element centreline compared to the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation. The universal alignment behaviour of the scalar gradient vector is found far-downstream although the local Reynolds and Peclet numbers (based on the Taylor and Cor
Jones G, Santer M, Debiasi M, et al., 2017, Control of flow separation around an airfoil at low Reynolds numbers using periodic surface morphing, Journal of Fluids and Structures, Vol: 76, Pages: 536-557, ISSN: 0889-9746
The paper investigates experimentally the low Reynolds number flow () around a model that approximates a NACA 4415 airfoil and the control of separation using periodic surface motion. Actuation is implemented by bonding two Macro Fiber Composite patches to the underside of the suction surface. Time-resolved measurements reveal that the peak-to-peak displacement of the surface motion is a function of both the amplitude and frequency of the input voltage signal but the addition of aerodynamic forces does not cause significant changes in the surface behavior. The vibration mode is uniform in the spanwise direction for frequencies below 80 Hz; above this frequency, a secondary vibration mode is observed. The flow around the unactuated airfoil exhibits a large recirculation region as a result of laminar separation without reattachment and consequently produces relatively high drag and low lift forces. Various actuation frequencies were examined. When actuated at , the spectra in the vicinity of the trailing edge and near-wake were found to be dominated by the actuation frequency. Sharp peaks appear in the spectra suggesting the production of Large Coherent Structures at this frequency. The increased momentum entrainment associated with these enabled a significant suppression of the separated region. The result was a simultaneous increase in and decrease in and therefore a large increase in the ratio. In addition, a delay in the onset of stall results in a significant increase in the maximum achievable lift.
Papadakis G, Santer M, Jones G, 2017, Control of low Reynolds number flow around an airfoil using periodic surface morphing: a numerical study, Journal of Fluids and Structures, Vol: 76, Pages: 95-115, ISSN: 0889-9746
The principal aim of this paper is to use Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) to explain the mechanisms that allow periodic surface morphing to improve the aerodynamic performance of an airfoil. The work focuses on a NACA-4415 airfoil at Reynolds number Rec=5×104 and 0° angle of attack. At these flow conditions, the boundary layer separates at x∕c=0.42, remains laminar until x∕c≈0.8, and then transitions to turbulence. Vortices are formed in the separating shear layer at a characteristic Kelvin–Helmholtz frequency of Sts=4.9, which compares well with corresponding experiments. These are then shed into the wake. Turbulent reattachment does not occur because the region of high turbulent kinetic energy (and therefore mixing) is located too far downstream and too far away from the airfoil surface to influence the near-wall flow. The effect of three actuation frequencies is examined by performing the simulations on a computational domain that deforms periodically. It is found that by amplifying the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability mechanism, Large Spanwise Coherent structures are forced to form and retain their coherence for a large part of the actuation cycle. Following their formation, these structures entrain high momentum fluid into the near-wall flow, leading to almost complete elimination of the recirculation zone. The instantaneous and phase averaged characteristics of these structures are analyzed and the vortex coherence is related to the phase of actuation. In order to further clarify the process of reduction in the size of recirculation zone, simulations start from the fully-developed uncontrolled flow and continue for 25 actuation cycles. The results indicate that the modification of airfoil characteristics is a gradual process. As the number of cycles increases and the coherent vortices are repeatedly formed and propagate downstream, they entrain momentum, thereby modifying the near wall region. During this transient period, the separa
Alves Portela, Papadakis G, Vassilicos, 2017, The turbulence cascade in the near wake of a square prism, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol: 825, Pages: 315-352, ISSN: 1469-7645
We present a study of the turbulence cascade on the centreline of an inhomogeneous and anisotropic near-field turbulent wake generated by a square prism at a Reynolds number of using the Kármán–Howarth–Monin–Hill equation. This is the fully generalised scale-by-scale energy balance which, unlike the Kármán–Howarth equation, does not require homogeneity or isotropy assumptions. Our data are obtained from a direct numerical simulation and therefore enable us to access all of the processes involved in this energy balance. A significant range of length scales exists where the orientation-averaged nonlinear interscale transfer rate is approximately constant and negative, indicating a forward turbulence cascade on average. This average cascade consists of coexisting forward and inverse cascade behaviours in different scale-space orientations. With increasing distance from the prism but within the near field of the wake, the orientation-averaged nonlinear interscale transfer rate tends to be approximately equal to minus the turbulence dissipation rate even though all of the inhomogeneity-related energy processes in the scale-by-scale energy balance are significant, if not equally important. We also find well-defined near energy spectra in the streamwise direction, in particular at a centreline position where the inverse cascade behaviour occurs for streamwise oriented length scales.
Basbug S, Papadakis G, Vassilicos, 2017, DNS investigation of the dynamical behaviour of trailing vortices in unbaffled stirred vessels at transitional Reynolds numbers, Physics of Fluids, Vol: 29, ISSN: 1089-7666
Flow in an unbaffled stirred vessel agitated by a four-bladed radial impeller is investigated by usingdirect numerical simulations atRe= 320 and 1600. We observe fluctuations in the power consumptionwith a peak frequency at ca. three times the impeller rotational speed for both Reynolds numbers. Itis discovered that these fluctuations are associated with a periodic event in the wake of the blades,which involves alternating growth and decay of the upper and lower cores of the trailing vortex pairas well as up-and-down swinging motion of the radial jet. Moreover, the phase relation between thewakes of the different blades is examined in detail. Further studies using fractal-shaped blades showthat the exact blade shape does not have a strong influence on this phenomenon. However, the wakeinteraction between the blades, hence the number of blades, has a direct influence on the unsteadinessof trailing vortices.
Xiao D, Papadakis G, 2017, Nonlinear optimal control of bypass transition in a boundary layer flow, Physics of Fluids, Vol: 25, ISSN: 0031-9171
The central aim of the paper is to apply and assess a nonlinear optimal control strategy to suppress bypass transition, due to bimodal interactions [T. A. Zaki and P. A. Durbin, “Mode interaction and the bypass route to transition,” J. Fluid Mech. 531, 85 (2005)] in a zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer. To this end, a Lagrange variational formulation is employed that results in a set of adjoint equations. The optimal wall actuation (blowing and suction from a control slot) is found by solving iteratively the nonlinear Navier-Stokes and the adjoint equations in a forward/backward loop using direct numerical simulation. The optimization is performed in a finite time horizon. Large values of optimization horizon result in the instability of the adjoint equations. The control slot is located exactly in the region of transition. The results show that the control is able to significantly reduce the objective function, which is defined as the spatial and temporal integral of the quadratic deviation from the Blasius profile plus a term that quantifies the control cost. The physical mechanism with which the actuation interacts with the flow field is investigated and analysed in relation to the objective function employed. Examination of the joint probability density function shows that the control velocity is correlated with the streamwise velocity in the near wall region but this correlation is reduced as time elapses. The spanwise averaged velocity is distorted by the control action, resulting in a significant reduction of the skin friction coefficient. Results are presented with and without zero-net mass flow constraint of the actuation velocity. The skin friction coefficient drops below the laminar value if there is no mass constraint; it remains however larger than laminar when this constraint is imposed. Results are also compared with uniform blowing using the same time-average velocity obtained from the nonlinear optimal algorithm.
Paul I, Papadakis G, Vassilicos JC, 2017, Genesis and evolution of velocity gradients in a near-field spatially developing turbulence, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol: 815, Pages: 295-332, ISSN: 1469-7645
This paper investigates the dynamics of velocity gradients for a spatially developing flowgenerated by a single square element of a fractal square grid at low inlet Reynolds numberthrough direct numerical simulation. This square grid-element is also the fundamentalblock of a classical grid. The flow along the grid-element centreline is initially irrotationaland becomes turbulent further downstream due to the lateral excursions of vorticalturbulent wakes from the grid-element bars. We study the generation and evolution ofthe symmetric and anti-symmetric parts of the velocity gradient tensor for this spatiallydeveloping flow using the transport equations of mean strain-product and mean enstrophyrespectively. The choice of low inlet Reynolds number allows for fine spatial resolutionand long simulations, both of which are conducive in balancing the budget equations ofthe above quantities. The budget analysis is carried out along the grid-element centrelineand the bar centreline. The former is observed to consist of two subregions: one in theimmediate lee of the grid-element which is dominated by irrotational strain, and onefurther downstream where both strain and vorticity coexist. In the demarcation areabetween these two subregions, where the turbulence is inhomogeneous and developing,the energy spectrum exhibits the best−5/3 power law slope. This is the same locationwhere the experiments at much higher inlet Reynolds number show a well defined−5/3 spectrum over more than a decade of frequencies. Yet, the Q-R diagram remainsundeveloped in the near grid-element region, and both the intermediate and extensivestrain-rate eigenvectors align with the vorticity vector. Along the grid-element centreline,the strain is the first velocity gradient quantity generated by the action of pressureHessian. This strain is then transported downstream by fluctuations and strain self-amplification is activate
Gallis MA, Bitter NP, Koehler TP, et al., 2017, Molecular-level simulations of turbulence and Its decay, Physical Review Letters, Vol: 118, ISSN: 1079-7114
We provide the first demonstration that molecular-level methods based on gas kinetic theory and molecular chaos can simulate turbulence and its decay. The direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, a molecular-level technique for simulating gas flows that resolves phenomena from molecular to hydrodynamic (continuum) length scales, is applied to simulate the Taylor-Green vortex flow. The DSMC simulations reproduce the Kolmogorov −5/3 law and agree well with the turbulent kinetic energy and energy dissipation rate obtained from direct numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations using a spectral method. This agreement provides strong evidence that molecular-level methods for gases can be used to investigate turbulent flows quantitatively.
Thomareis N, Papadakis G, 2017, Effect of trailing edge shape on the separated flow characteristics around an airfoil at low Reynolds number: A numerical study, Physics of Fluids, Vol: 29, ISSN: 1089-7666
Direct numerical simulations of the flow field around a NACA 0012 airfoil at Reynolds number 50 000 and angle of attack 5° with 3 different trailing edge shapes (straight, blunt, and serrated) have been performed. Both time-averaged flow characteristics and the most dominant flow structures and their frequencies are investigated using the dynamic mode decomposition method. It is shown that for the straight trailing edge airfoil, this method can capture the fundamental as well as the subharmonic of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability that develops naturally in the separating shear layer. The fundamental frequency matches well with relevant data in the literature. The blunt trailing edge results in periodic vortex shedding, with frequency close to the subharmonic of the natural shear layer frequency. The shedding, resulting from a global instability, has an upstream effect and forces the separating shear layer. Due to forcing, the shear layer frequency locks onto the shedding frequency while the natural frequency (and its subharmonic) is suppressed. The presence of serrations in the trailing edge creates a spanwise pressure gradient, which is responsible for the development of a secondary flow pattern in the spanwise direction. This pattern affects the mean flow in the near wake. It can explain an unexpected observation, namely, that the velocity deficit downstream of a trough is smaller than the deficit after a protrusion. Furthermore, the insertion of serrations attenuates the energy of vortex shedding by de-correlating the spanwise coherence of the vortices. This results in weaker forcing of the separating shear layer, and both the subharmonics of the natural frequency and the shedding frequency appear in the spectra.
Papadakis G, Lu L, Ricco P, 2016, Closed-loop control of boundary layer streaks induced by free-stream turbulence, Physical Review Fluids, Vol: 1, ISSN: 2469-990X
The central aim of the paper is to carry out a theoretical and numerical study of active wall transpiration control of streaks generated within an incompressible boundary layer by free-stream turbulence. The disturbance flow model is based on the linearized unsteady boundary-region (LUBR) equations, studied by Leib, Wundrow, and Goldstein [J. Fluid Mech. 380, 169 (1999)], which are the rigorous asymptotic limit of the Navier-Stokes equations for low-frequency and long-streamwise wavelength. The mathematical formulation of the problem directly incorporates the random forcing into the equations in a consistent way. Due to linearity, this forcing is factored out and appears as a multiplicative factor. It is shown that the cost function (integral of kinetic energy in the domain) is properly defined as the expectation of a random quadratic function only after integration in wave number space. This operation naturally introduces the free-stream turbulence spectral tensor into the cost function. The controller gains for each wave number are independent of the spectral tensor and, in that sense, universal. Asymptotic matching of the LUBR equations with the free-stream conditions results in an additional forcing term in the state-space system whose presence necessitates the reformulation of the control problem and the rederivation of its solution. It is proved that the solution can be obtained analytically using an extension of the sweep method used in control theory to obtain the standard Riccati equation. The control signal consists of two components, a feedback part and a feed-forward part (that depends explicitly on the forcing term). Explicit recursive equations that provide these two components are derived. It is shown that the feed-forward part makes a negligible contribution to the control signal. We also derive an explicit expression that a priori (i.e., before solving the control problem) leads to the minimum of the objective cost function (i.e., the fundamental pe
Alves Portela F, Papadakis, Vassilicos, 2016, Scale by scale energy budget in the near wake of a square cylinder, XXIV ICTAM
We study the energy cascade downstream of, but close to, a square cylinder Re = 3900 using two-point statistics, by means of DNS. Shortly after the mean recirculation region the turbulent energy spectrum exhibits a near −5/3 slope in the frequency domain. Our DNS analysis of the general Kármán-Howarth-Monin equation show that the production, transport, advection and fluctuating pressure terms cannot be neglected as they are in the Richardson-Kolmogorov equilibrium theory. Even so, the term which is interpreted as an interscale energy flux divergence in the case of homogeneous turbulence is close to −ε over a significant range of small scales, where ε is the turbulence dissipation rate.
Jones G, Santer M, Papadakis G, et al., 2016, Active Flow Control at Low Reynolds Numbers by Periodic Airfoil Morphing, 54th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, Publisher: American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
This paper investigates the application of a periodically deforming airfoil surface for thepurpose of flow control at low Reynolds numbers. A physical model has been fabricatedby bonding Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) actuators to the underside of a NACA 4415’ssuction surface. The results presented build on work by Jones et al.1 First, the behavior ofthe surface when actuated at a range frequencies is investigated through a combination ofphotogrammetric and laser sensor measurements. Second, the aerodynamic performanceof this novel flow control technique is presented. It is shown that when the actuationfrequency ‘locks-in’ to the surface motion significant improvements in performance areobserved in a flight regime notorious for poor airfoil behavior.
