The model consisted of three segments with exchangeable parts to consider smooth and rough surfaces with a roughness topology of square bar elements with a nominal wavelength of four times the height of the elements. In selected regions of interest, the flow field was measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV) which enabled analysis of mean velocity fields and Reynolds stresses. Van Driest transformed smooth wall mean velocity profiles showed the expected incompressible behavior and compared well to previous investigations. A combination of an integral and fitting approach is discussed to enable inner scaling of the rough wall profiles, which showed the expected shift below the smooth wall profile. The smooth wall turbulence profiles from PIV agreed to artificially filtered DNS in case of the streamwise component. Turbulence profiles above the smooth and rough wall agreed to within measurement accuracies. Additionally, two−point correlations were used to investigate turbulent structures above the smooth and rough wall. Both, length scales and orientations of the correlations, showed high level of agreement between smooth and rough walls, with only differences close to the wall. Furthermore, uniform momentum zones could be identified with similar behavior along both smooth and rough walls. Information from turbulence data support outer layer similarity, whereas mean velocity profiles show an increase in Coles wake parameter for the rough wall data. This might be influenced by transitional roughness effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":554,"journal":{"name":"Experiments in Fluids","volume":"65 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00348-024-03876-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the Kalman filter model to track the events generated by the particles seeded in the flow medium, KF-PEV yields the linear least squares estimate of the particle track velocities corresponding to the flow vector field. KF-PEV processes events in a computationally efficient and streaming manner (i.e., causal and iteratively updating). Our simulation-based benchmarking study with synthetic particle event data confirms that the proposed KF-PEV outperforms the conventional frame-based particle image/tracking velocimetry as well as the state-of-the-art event-based particle velocimetry methods.

Resolving the governing liquid distribution in loaded polyamide-6 (PA6) fibre networks using X-ray computed micro-tomography is a challenge due to the similar X-ray attenuation coefficients of water and PA6 and limitations in using background subtraction techniques if the network is deformed, which will be the case if subjected to compression. In this work, we developed a method using a potassium iodide solution in water to enhance the liquid’s attenuation coefficient without modifying the water’s rheological properties. Therefore, we studied the evolving liquid distribution in loaded and partly saturated PA6 fibre networks on the microscale. Increasing the external load applied to the network, we observed an exponential decrease in air content while the liquid content was constant, increasing the overall saturation with increasing network strain. Furthermore, the microstructural properties created by the punch-needle process in the manufacturing of the network significantly influenced the out-of-plane liquid distribution. The method has been proven helpful in understanding the results of adaptions in both the fibre network design and manufacturing process, allowing for investigating the resulting liquid distribution on a microscale.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":554,"journal":{"name":"Experiments in Fluids","volume":"65 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00348-024-03869-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an active vision technique, it relies on the use of light sources, and as a stereo technique, it requires one or more high-speed camera pairs for imaging the same scene synchronously. To enhance the visibility of the laser lights on the wave profile, the water surface is sprayed with water droplets. Profilometry, compared to standard wave probes, can be considered as an alternative source of information that can augment spatial resolution to the identification of the air–water interface to capture nonlinear wave-evolution mechanisms and violent wave–body interactions.
