DIRECT NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF TURBULENCE SUPPRESSION IN ROTATING PIPE FLOWS

Christoph Brehm, University of Kentucky

Usage Details

The underlying physics of rotating fluid flows will be examined with highly-resolved simulations, which will provide a better understanding of relaminarization and turbulence suppression commonly observed in these types of flows.
An improved understanding of these flows will allow for the design of novel flow control strategies as well as more accurate modeling fidelity of rotating flows, commonly observed on wing tip vortices, atmospheric flows, axial compressors, etc., which has broad implications across a wide range of industrial applications.
