The focus is on understanding vortex interactions leading to vortex filamentation and stripping (forward cascade) during primary instability; merger and reconnection (inverse cascade) among the TGV vortical cells subsequently. Here, consideration of multiple cells avoids imposing symmetries at the smallest periodic length scale, and thereby affecting disturbance growth. The initial condition is taken from the analytic solution of the TGV, and Fourier spectral method is employed to track the interactions of the initial doubly-periodic vortices. The full sequence of evolution from one equilibrium state to another for the TGV is not addressed before, as reported here to fill this gap for multiple TGV cells in both directions.

Using a stream function formulation, and the extended (or high-order) lubrication method in terms of the square of the aspect ratio of the tube, <em>ε</em>, the solution for the stream function is found analytically up to twentieth order in <em>ε</em>. At the classic lubrication limit, i.e. i.e. for a vanishing small aspect ratio, and for perfect slip conditions, the analysis predicts a plug-like velocity profile and a constant strain-rate on the midplane/axis of symmetry of the tube. A constant strain-rate is also predicted for the non-slip case. Furthermore, the high order asymptotic results for the stream function and fluid velocity are post-processed with an acceleration technique to investigate the convergence and accuracy of the solution. The results reveal the existence of a boundary layer at the inlet of the tube, the influence of which diminishes in a very short distance from the entrance. We discuss the effect of the contraction ratio of the tube and the dimensionless slip coefficient on the midplane/centerline and wall (slip) velocities, as well as on the average pressure-drop, required to maintain a constant flow-rate. The acceleration of converge technique on the solution for the pressure-drop revealed a remarkable convergence at a value slightly larger (∼1 %) than the value predicted by the classic lubrication theory. Finally, we comment on the common practice in the literature for approaching the velocity profile with the velocity profile at the classic lubrication limit, and we compare the high-order results for the strain rate at the midplane/centerline with the effective strain rate previously derived in the literature by <em>Housiadas & Beris, J.

Using the asymptotic expansion method, depth-averaged models (lubrication and shallow water type models) are derived for 3D (three-dimensional) multi-regime flows on non-flat inclined topographies with varying basal slipperiness. Starting from the Navier–Stokes equations, two flow regimes corresponding to different balances between shear and pressure forces are presented. Flow models corresponding to these regimes are calculated as perturbations of the zeroth-order solutions. The classical reference models in the literature are recovered by considering their respective cases on a flat-inclined surface. In the second regime case, a pressure term is non-negligible. Mathematically, it leads to a corrective term to the classical regime equations. Flow solutions of the two regimes are compared; the difference appears in particular in the vicinity of sharp changes of slopes. Nonetheless, both regime models are compared with experiments and are found to be in good agreement. Furthermore, numerical examples are shown to illustrate the robustness of the present shallow water models to simulate viscoplastic flows in 3D and over an inclined topography with local perturbations in basal elevation and basal slipperiness.
