Numerical simulations of close and far wakes behind an axisymmetrical body in a stratified medium are carried out. Towed and auto-propelled regimes are considered. The parameters of the flow are Pr = 7, Re = 10000 based on the diameter of the cylinder and F = 25. Turbulence is modelled with a Large Eddy Simulation - Variational Multi-Scale approach. Realistic results are obtained for the towed case where the so-called three-dimensional (3D), non-equilibrium (NEQ) and quasi two-dimensional (Q2D) regimes are exhibited with very good agreement with the experiments. In addition, the effect of auto-propulsion on the flow dynamics is satisfactorily addressed.

AbstractIn this paper, we numerically investigate the effects of surfactant on drop-drop interactions in a 2D shear flow using a coupled level-set and immersed interface approach proposed in (Xu et al., J. Comput. Phys., 212 (2006), 590-616). We find that surfactant plays a critical and nontrivial role in drop-drop interactions. In particular, we find that the minimum distance between the drops is a non-monotone function of the surfactant coverage and Capillary number. This non-monotonic behavior, which does not occur for clean drops, is found to be due to the presence of Marangoni forces along the drop interfaces. This suggests that there are non-monotonic conditions for coalescence of surfactant-laden drops, as observed in recent experiments of Leal and co-workers. Although our study is two-dimensional, we believe that drop-drop interactions in three-dimensional flows should be qualitatively similar as the Maragoni forces in the near contact region in 3D should have a similar effect.

Abstract In this paper, we conducted a three-dimensional investigation of flow past a cylinder undergoing forced oscillation. The flow configuration is similar to the work of Blackburn & Henderson (1999) [1], in which Reynolds number equals to 500 and a fixed motion amplitude of A/D = 0.25. The oscillation frequencies are varied in the range near to the natural shedding frequency of a stationary cylinder. The flow dynamics are governed by Navier-Stokes equations and the solutions are obtained by employing high-order spectral/hp element method. It is found that the flow dynamics are significantly distinguished from the study of two-dimensional flow by Blackburn & Henderson (1999) [1]. The values of hydrodynamic forces are smaller compared to that in the two-dimensional study. However, lock-in boundary we identified is broader. In addition, a different type of hysteresis loop of energy transfer coefficient is obtained.
