The spatiotemporal Koopman decomposition (STKD) enables the computation of modes defined by global frequencies and growth rates in various spatial dimensions and time. The method is an extension of the dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) and higher-order dynamic mode decomposition (HODMD) that represents the data as a sum of standing and traveling, possibly growing or decaying, waves. In this paper, the STKD with HODMD is applied to schlieren video highlighting second mode instability waves traveling down the length of a 3-degree half-angle cone and a 7-degree half-angle cone, both at a freestream Mach number of 6. The HODMD is able to compute dominant modes and frequencies that align with those from associated experimental measurements of unsteady pressure fluctuations, and whose mode shapes clearly show the intensifying wavepacket structure of the waves. The STKD algorithm is used to compute streamwise wavenumbers, spatial growth rates, and wave speeds. The spatial growth rates from the STKD and the magnitudes of the HODMD mode shapes are used to compute the N-factor for waves of several frequencies. Overall, the STKD with HODMD is shown to be a useful tool for extracting spatiotemporal disturbance growth from a schlieren video.","PeriodicalId":20066,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explores shear layer cavitation under various flow conditions in a microfluidic device with a depth of 60 μm and a step height of 400 μm. The BFS configuration, with its unique characteristics of upstream turbulence and post-reattachment pressure recovery, provides a controlled environment for studying shear-induced cavitation without the complexities of other microfluidic geometries. Experiments were conducted across four flow patterns: inception, developing, shedding, and intense shedding, by varying upstream pressure and the Reynolds number. The study highlights key differences between microscale and macroscale shear cavitation, such as the dominant role of surface forces on nuclei distribution, vapor formation, and distinct timescales for phenomena like shedding and shockwave propagation. It is hypothesized that vortex strength in the shear layer plays a significant role in cavity shedding during upstream shockwave propagation. Results indicate that increased pressure notably elevates the mean thickness, length, and intensity within the shear layer. Instantaneous data analysis identified two vortex modes (shedding and wake modes) at the reattachment zone, which significantly affect cavitation shedding frequency and downstream penetration. The wake mode, characterized by stronger and lower-frequency vortices, transports cavities deeper into the channel compared to the shedding mode. Additionally, vortex strength, proportional to the Reynolds number, affects condensation caused by shockwaves. The study confirms that nuclei concentration peaks in the latter half of the shear layer during cavitation inception, aligning with the peak void fraction region.","PeriodicalId":20066,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous studies have analyzed the effects of acoustic excitation on steady-wing aerodynamics, the effect of excitation on the unsteady aerodynamics is not known, which is the aim of the current effort. Internally mounted speakers on a symmetric National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0012 wing are used to excite the unsteady boundary layer at the wing's leading edge as it executes linear pitch motions ranging from quasi-steady (trailing-edge driven stall) to vortex-dominated (mixed leading- and trailing-edge driven stall) motions at freestream Reynolds numbers (Re) of 120 000 and 180 000. Experimental results show that, although acoustic excitation delays stall for quasi-steady motions, it enhances lift in the linear region and increases leading-edge vortex strength for vortex-dominated motions. The degree of change was observed to be a function of the excitation frequency, with lower frequencies (≤ 250 Hz) leading to an increase in aerodynamic efficiency and higher frequencies having a negligible effect. The current work establishes the effects of acoustic flow excitation in unsteady, low-Re wing aerodynamics and provides insights on the path forward to effectively implement the method for active flow control.","PeriodicalId":20066,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The original bare model is susceptible to jet flows and wave overwash at the nose, which can adversely impact the aircraft's ditching performance. To address these issues, we introduced two biomimetic floats symmetrically to the original model and assessed their influence on the ditching dynamics. A comparative analysis was conducted on the accelerations, impact loads, and the coupled heave and pitch motions of both the original and the redesigned model equipped with floats during ditching in both calm waters and regular waves. For the wave ditching scenario, a detailed investigation of the slamming phase was first carried out, involving impacts at the wave's zero-crossing, crest, and trough. The cases with a variety of wave heights, wave lengths, and wave headings were evaluated. A particular focus was placed on understanding how the biomimetic floats affect the seaplane's performance during ditching in both calm and wavy conditions. The analysis of maximum accelerations and pitch angles during wave ditching revealed that slamming at the wave trough presents the most significant hazards. Additionally, the phenomena of gliding and wave overwash were identified as substantial risks under wave conditions. The results suggested that the biomimetic floats can effectively mitigate the maximum horizontal acceleration and pitch angle of the original model, enhancing the safety of ditching operations in both calm water and waves.","PeriodicalId":20066,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-modal analysis can characterize the short-term energy amplification of perturbations, which is influenced by the Reynolds number, the Weber number, and the initial conditions such as the wavenumber. In gas–liquid coaxial nozzles, annular jets are often produced, and their breakup process is influenced by transient energy growth. However, research in this area has been limited so far. This paper for the first time investigates the transient energy growth of an annular liquid jet in static gas and validates it using a modified annular jet model. In the derivation process, the gas–liquid interfaces inside and outside the annular liquid film are taken into account. It has been found that there exists an optimal initial condition for a certain Reynolds number and a Weber number. The increase in the Reynolds number and ratio of inner and outer radius of the annular jet can maximize the transient growth under a specific initial wavenumber, while the increase in gas/liquid density ratio and the Weber number will minimize the transient growth. It is also found that transient energy growth is caused by the displacement of the free boundary.","PeriodicalId":20066,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key enabler is to embed the most parsimonious mean-field manifold based on the extracted features, such as force coefficients and probing data from experiments and numerical simulations. The manifold model is then identified under the mean-field constraints of the model structure, ensuring human-interpretability. The FeMM method is demonstrated with a two-dimensional incompressible flow crossing a pair of side-by-side cylinders, exhibiting a flip-flopping wake in quasiperiodic behavior. The transient and post-transient dynamics are characterized by two coupled oscillators associated with vortex shedding and gap flow oscillations. Dynamic mode decomposition analysis reveals significant modal interactions between these two flow mechanisms, posing a serious challenge to projection-based modeling approaches, such as the Galerkin projection method. Nevertheless, the FeMM approach, based on force measurements, yields an interpretable model that accounts for the mechanisms underlying the quasiperiodic dynamics, demonstrating its applicability to higher-order dynamics with multiple scales and invariant sets. This approach is expected to have broad applicability in dynamic modeling and state estimation in various real-world scenarios.","PeriodicalId":20066,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, direct numerical simulations of fully developed compressible turbulent boundary layers at Mach numbers of 0.5, 1.2, and 2.0 are conducted to investigate wall pressure fluctuations comprehensively. The effects of Mach number on the single-point statistics of wall pressure fluctuations, such as the root mean square, skewness and flatness factors, probability density function, and frequency spectrum, are assessed to be very weak. Regarding the space-time characteristics, the convection velocity Uc determined by the space-time correlation of wall pressure fluctuations increases slightly with the Mach number, which only reflects the convective behavior of turbulent vortices. On the wavenumber–frequency spectrum, characteristic peaks of both the acoustic wave and convective vortices are identified. At Mach 0.5, the peaks of the fast (Uc+c) and slow (Uc−c) acoustic waves are unattached to others with c denoting acoustic speed, while only the peak of the fast acoustic wave is distinguishable from the convective peak at Mach 1.2 and 2.0. Due to the aerodynamic heating at supersonic conditions, the thermal effect on acoustic speed should be taken into account in determining the acoustic wavenumber. By introducing a convective Prandtl–Glauert parameter, a refined relation is proposed to provide a more accurate depiction of the acoustic domain in the wavenumber–frequency spectrum.","PeriodicalId":20066,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A theoretical model is developed within the framework of linear potential flow to solve for added mass, radiation damping, and wave excitation force using the matched eigenfunction expansion method (MEEM). A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is employed to account for vortex-shedding effects of the floater and inner cylinder with a damping plate under various excitation conditions. Empirical formulas for supplementary added mass and drag coefficients caused by flow separation are proposed based on curve-fitting the differences between CFD results and MEEM calculations. These formulas are integrated into motion equations to enhance accuracy in evaluating the power absorption of the 2BWEC. It has been found that in the context of viscous flow, both the added mass and damping coefficients are increased, particularly for the inner cylinder with a damping plate. In addition, the viscous hydrodynamic coefficients exhibit strong dependence on the Keulegan–Carpenter number, while showing insensitivity to changes in the frequency parameter β. The supplementary (viscous) added mass provides additional inertia for the AUV with a limited mass itself, which is advantageous for the power absorption of the AUV-based 2BWEC. Conversely, the presence of viscous damping from the damping plate impedes wave energy capture.","PeriodicalId":20066,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current related research can only calculate the blood flow pressure parameters of vessels with different geometric shapes under fixed boundary conditions, thus fail to achieve transient flow field calculation and consider the hemodynamic differences formed by patients' varying physiological and pathological conditions. In view of this, this study proposes a method for relative pressure estimation based on four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow MRI) of patient blood flow and deep learning. 4D flow MRI was used to obtain the patient's blood flow velocity gradient data, and feature engineering processing is performed on the sampled data. Then, a novel neural network was proposed to acquire the characteristic relationship between velocity gradient and pressure gradient in the vicinity of the point to be measured and within adjacent sampling time periods, thereby achieving the calculation of the relative pressure in the vicinity of the point to be measured. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of the method, comparing it with computational fluid dynamics methods and catheter pressure measurement techniques. The accuracy of the proposed method exceeded 96%, while computational efficiency was improved by several tens of times, and no manual setting of physiological parameters was required. Furthermore, the results were compared with clinical catheter-measured pressure results, r2 = 0.9053, indicating a significant consistency between the two methods. Compared to previous research, the method proposed in this study can take the blood flow velocity conditions of different patients at different times as input features via 4D flow MRI, thus enabling the calculation of pressure in transient flow fields, which significantly improved computational efficiency and reduced costs while maintaining a high level of calculation accuracy. This provides new direction for future research on machine learning prediction of blood flow pressure.","PeriodicalId":20066,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
