A novel closed-loop control methodology is introduced to stabilize a cylinder wake flow based on images of streaklines. Passive scalar tracers are injected upstream the cylinder and their concentration is monitored downstream ...

This work reports a numerical investigation of premixed and diffusion meso/micro-scale flames, with homogeneous reactions, for two different cases involving CH4/air premixed dynamics flames and co-flow diffusion flame with ...

Turbulent flows around bluff bodies are present in a large number of aeronautical, civil, mechanical, naval and oceanic engineering problems and still need comprehension. This paper provides a detailed investigation of ...

A purely Lagrangian vortex method is employed to investigate turbulent flows past a rough circular cylinder under moving wall effect at large-gap regime, namely h*/d* = 0.45 and 0.80 (h* establishes the gap height between ...

The main contribution of this paper is to develop a new methodology to include effects of surface roughness on aerodynamic of bodies. The numerical approach simulates the mechanism of vortex shedding of a rough circular ...

An experimental characterization of the hydrodynamics of a mixing interface at an open channel confluence is presented. In the laboratory experiments, both a confluence and a cylinder set-up were studied in order to validate ...

In this work, a coupled formulation for modeling multiple piezoelectric energy harvesters based on vortex-induced vibrations phenomenon at arbitrary locations was presented and experimentally validated. The mathematical ...

This paper presents new experimental results of Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) on inclined cylinders. Models are mounted on a low damping air-bearing elastic base with one degree-of-freedom, constrained to oscillate only ...
