In this study, two-dimensional time-resolved particle image velocimetry (2D-TR-PIV) was used to investigate the effect of the external domain on oscillating jets from double-feedback fluidic oscillators. Two different cases with different Re numbers (2680–10,730), as free external domain and fully confined were studied. Time-averaged results showed although a self-oscillating jet was attained for the free external domain, it could not be achieved for a fully confined geometry. For a fully confined geometry at Re = 2680, two symmetric vortices did not allow the jet to oscillate and at Re = 6440, the flow pattern in the external region became non-symmetric due to the Coanda vortex, subsequently, the self-oscillating jet was not observed. At Re = 10,730, the strength of the jet was inclined to cope with such vortices and tended to oscillate. However, strong vortices were created near the exit region of the fluidic oscillator, which led to an almost non-symmetric pattern. In addition, the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method and phase-averaged analysis were applied to obtain the unsteady behavior of flow and the most energetic dynamic structure. Interestingly, at Re = 6440, the third mode was still energetic for fully confined, but for other cases, the first two modes were the most energetic modes, which showed vigorous coherent structures.

Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV) of a pivoted circular cylinder with two degrees of freedom are investigated experimentally, focusing on quantifying the wake topology. Experiments are performed in a water tunnel for a pivoted cylinder with a fixed mass ratio of 10.8, moment of inertia ratio of 87.0–109.5, and a diameter-based Reynolds number of 3100. The reduced velocity was varied from 4.42 to 9.05 by varying the natural frequency of the structure. Velocity measurements were performed via time-resolved, two-component Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), synchronized with cylinder displacement measurements. Time and phase-averaging are employed to analyze the wake development and relate it to the structural response. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) is utilized to gain insight into the development of coherent structures in the cylinder wake. The observed shedding patterns agree well with the Morse & Williamson [1] shedding map except for the cases at the boundary between 2P and non-synchronized shedding. The results show that the cylinder follows an elliptical trajectory with equal frequency of oscillation in streamwise and transverse directions. For the 2P regime, the tilt and direction of trajectory affect the formation and development of vortices in the wake. This results in a distinct asymmetry about the wake centerline in time-averaged statistics.

Highly turbulent flows above variously rough surfaces were investigated by means of Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry in a wind tunnel. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition was applied to both velocity and vorticity data in order to detect dominant features in the flow based on turbulent kinetic energy and enstrophy, respectively. While both the shape and location of the POD patterns exhibited similarity with other studies, a systematic inconsistency in terms of contribution from the features to the enstrophy between the previously published papers and our results were found.

Hydraulic Circuits

In some industrial processes, and especially in agrofood industries, the cleaning in place mechanism used for hydraulic circuits plays an important role. This process needs a good knowledge of the hydrodynamic flows to determinate the appropriate parameters that assure a good cleaning of these circuits without disassembling them. Generally, different arrangements are present in these hydraulic circuits, such as expansions, diffusers, and elbows. The flow crossing these singularities strongly affects the process of cleaning in place. This work is then a contribution to complete recent studies of “aliments quality security” project to ameliorate the quality of the cleaning in place. It presents experimental and numerical investigations of a confined turbulent flow behavior across a conical diffuser (2α=16 deg). The role of a perturbation caused by the presence of an elbow in the test section, upstream of the progressive enlargement, was studied. The main measurements were the static pressure and the instantaneous velocity fields using the particle image velocimetry (PIV). Post-processing of these PIV measurements were adopted using the Γ2 criterion for the vortices detection and the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technique to extract the most energetic modes contained in the turbulent flow and to the turbulent flow filtering. A database has been also constituted and was used to test the validity of the most models of turbulence, and in particular, a variant of the shear stress transport (SST) model.
