Significant wall shear stress and flow separation occur when the fluid flows through pipelines with various curvatures. These phenomena trigger pipeline vibration, the generation of mechanical and hydrodynamic noise, damage, and even the rupture of the pipeline. However, previous studies have not considered the mechanism of internal pipeline flow to eliminate flow separation and the generation of secondary flow inside bent pipelines by redirecting and manipulating the flow. To steer the fluid flow, a ‘hydrodynamic transformation strategy’ based on the metamaterial technology is proposed for the first time in this work; through this strategy, the fluid in pipelines can be made to flow along trajectories that are always parallel to the central axis of the bent pipelines. Interestingly, this innovative method can effectively eliminate the elbow-induced secondary flow and prevent the generation of a pressure gradient toward the pipeline wall. Using the soft lithography technology or the three-dimensional printing technology, the hydrodynamic metamaterial microstructure required to manipulate the fluid flow path in actual engineering applications can be achieved. Our work paves the way for developing new approaches for controlling the flow characteristics and reducing the turbulence intensity of the fluid flowing in pipelines with elbows and corners.","PeriodicalId":505053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluid Mechanics","volume":"568 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140780138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influences of the droplet diameter and total equivalence on oblique detonation are considered. The initiation length is found to increase first and then decrease with increasing initial droplet diameter, and the effect of droplet size is maximized when the initial droplet diameter is approximately \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 $10 mathrm {mu } {rm m}$\u0000 \u0000 . As the initial droplet diameter varies, unsteady and steady ODWs are observed. In the cases of unsteady ODWs, temperature gradients and non-uniform distributions of the reactant mixture due to droplet evaporation lead to formation of unsteady detonation propagation, therefore leading to fluctuations in the initiation length. The fluctuations in initiation length decrease as the pre-evaporation gas equivalence ratio increases for the unsteady cases. The results further suggest that the relationship between the evaporation layer thickness along the streamline and the corresponding theoretical initiation length can be used to identify an unsteady or steady ODW in cases with large droplets that evaporate behind an oblique shock wave or ODW under the effects of different initial droplet diameters.","PeriodicalId":505053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluid Mechanics","volume":"61 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140772620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose and validate a novel method for computing the parameters of thermoacoustic oscillation in a stochastic environment, which exploits a physics-informed neural network (PINN). Specifically, we introduce a negative log-likelihood loss function that integrates the stochastic samples and the solution of the Fokker–Planck equation. The proposed framework is validated using the numerically generated signal and the experimental data obtained from an annular combustor, both before and after the supercritical Hopf bifurcation. The results of PINN-based system identification show good agreement with the actual system parameters and the original stochastic signal, with improved accuracy compared to established methods. To the best of our knowledge, this study constitutes the first demonstration of the PINN-inverse approach that uses the noise-induced dynamics of thermoacoustic systems, opening up new pathways for diagnosing and predicting the thermoacoustic behaviour of various combustion systems.","PeriodicalId":505053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluid Mechanics","volume":"329 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140778227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In rivers and coastal environments, these lateral recirculating regions constitute surface storage zones, where large-scale turbulent coherent structures control the transport and fate of contaminants. Mass transport in these flows is typically represented by one-dimensional first-order equations that predict the evolution of the spatially integrated concentration between the cavity and the main channel. These models, however, cannot represent the long-term evolution of the concentration or incorporate memory effects induced by turbulence. In this investigation, we carry out large-eddy simulations (LES) of the open-channel flow with a lateral square cavity of Mignot et al. (Phys. Fluids, vol. 28, issue 4, 2016, 045104). The model is coupled with an advection–diffusion equation and a Lagrangian particle model to investigate the transport mechanisms in the cavity and across the interface. From the simulations we provide quantitative comparisons of the physical processes from both perspectives, and investigate the effects of turbulent coherent structures on residence times and trajectories from finite-time Lyapunov exponents. From the Lagrangian results, we identify general spatial distributions of time scales in the cavity associated with the dynamics of coherent structures, providing new insights into the mechanisms that drive the global transport. We also show that an upscaled model informed by LES and based on a fractional derivative captures the evolution of concentration, and the exchange between the cavity and the main channel, providing accurate predictions of mass transport and reproducing the temporal dependence observed at larger scales.","PeriodicalId":505053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluid Mechanics","volume":"138 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140775137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present laboratory study accounts for multiple co-existing statistically stationary random frequency harmonics. Single-point synchronous measurements of the instantaneous surface elevation and of its along-wind slope component are performed by optical methods at numerous locations. Assuming exponential spatial growth, the phase shift between the surface elevation and surface slope at each frequency is related to the spatial growth rate of each harmonic. The validity of the assumption that the wave energy varies exponentially with fetch is examined in a separate set of experiments; the instantaneous surface elevation at various wind-forcing conditions is measured at multiple locations along the tank. The spatial variation of the energy of individual frequency harmonics is determined. It is found that, below the local peak frequency, the energy of each harmonic grows exponentially, while the evolution of waves at frequencies approaching and exceeding the local peak is strongly affected by sheltering by the dominant wave, as well as by nonlinear bound waves. The outcomes of two independent methods of determination of spatial growth rates at a range of young wave frequencies are compared. The accumulated data also enable quantitative analysis of the sheltering phenomenon. The essential difference between the spatial and the temporal wind-wave evolution cases is discussed.","PeriodicalId":505053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluid Mechanics","volume":"302 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140780306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For subwavelength distances between the plates, the analysis relies on a homogenized model that provides an effective, anisotropic, dispersion relation for the propagation of water waves. Our findings reveal that a highly asymmetric wake can be achieved, with the degree of asymmetry contingent upon the ship propagation direction in relation to the plate orientation. This anisotropy is characterized with respect to water depth and to ship length using the dimensionless depth and hull Froude numbers. Laboratory experiments align closely with theoretical predictions, confirming that the asymmetry of the wake can indeed be managed through manipulation of bathymetric conditions.","PeriodicalId":505053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluid Mechanics","volume":"236 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140776724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
