Flow structure inside and around a rectangular array of emerged cylinders located adjacent to the sidewall of an open channel is investigated using eddy-resolving numerical simulations. This configuration is particularly relevant for understanding how patches of aquatic vegetation developing near a river's banks affect flow and transport. The array of width W = 1.6D and length L = 33D-35D (D is the flow depth) contains rigid cylinders. Simulations with incoming, fully developed turbulent flow (channel Reynolds number, Re-D = 12 500) are conducted with different values of the solid volume fraction (0.02 0.5, mean-flow recirculation bubbles form behind the array. For constant aW, the total size of the region containing recirculation bubbles decreases with increasing d/D. Simulations results are used to quantify the effect of varying phi, aW, d/D and the cylinders' shape on the streamwise decay of the mean streamwise velocity inside the array, turbulent kinetic energy distribution, mean streamwise drag forces acting on the cylinders and mean streamwise drag coefficients.

Single- and double-helix vortex breakdown as two dominant global modes in turbulent swirling jet flow Vanierschot, Maarten; Mueller, Jens S.; Sieber, Moritz; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, Bas W.; Oberleithner, Kilian (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2020-01-25) In this paper, we study the shape and dynamics of helical coherent structures found in the flow field of an annular swirling jet undergoing vortex breakdown. The flow field is studied by means of time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry measurements. The obtained flow fields are analysed using both classic and spectral proper orthogonal decomposition. Despite the simple geometrical set-up of the annular jet, the flow field is very complex. Two distinct large-scale helical flow structures are ide...
Fluid-structure interactions with both structural and fluid nonlinearities Bendiksen, O. O.; Seber, G. (Elsevier BV, 2008-08-19) In this study, we consider a class of nonlinear aeroelastic stability problems, where geometric nonlinearities arising from large deflections and rotations in the structure interact with aerodynamic nonlinearities caused by moving shocks. Examples include transonic panel flutter and flutter of transonic wings of high aspect ratio, where the presence of both structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities can have a dramatic qualitative as well as quantitative effect on the flutter behavior. Both cases represent i...
Numerical Simulation and Formulation of Wave Run-Up on Dam Face due to Ground Oscillations Using Major Earthquake Acceleration Records DEMİREL, ENDER; Aydın, İsmail (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2016-06-01) A previously developed computational model is used for wave run-up analysis in a generic two-dimensional reservoir subjected to major earthquake acceleration records. The model is based on numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and pressure equation considering compressibility effects. An existing model has been revised by the volume of fluid (VOF) method with piecewise linear interface calculation (PLIC) to be able to compute violent wave motion in the reservoir and to predict the maximum wave r...
Multi-scale characterization of particle clustering in discontinuously reinforced composites CETIN, Arda; Kalkanlı, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-01) The applicability of a quantitative characterization scheme for cluster detection in particle reinforced composites is discussed. The method considers the pattern from the perspective of individual particles, so that even in a pattern that globally conforms to a random distribution, micro-scale heterogeneities can be detected. The detected clusters are visualized by kernel surfaces. Results indicate that the presented methodology is an effective discriminator of clusters and can successfully be used for qua...
Solidification of a finite medium subject to a periodic variation of boundary temperature Dursunkaya, Zafer (ASME International, 2003-09-01) The motion of a solid-liquid interface in a finite one-dimensional medium, subject to a fluctuating boundary temperature, is analyzed. The fluctuations are assumed to be periodic. The solution method involves a semi-analytic approach in which, at any given time, the spatial temperature distributions are represented in infinite series. The effect of the solid, liquid Stefan numbers and the unsteady boundary temperature variation is investigated. The results showed a retrograde motion of the solidification fr...
