      An analytical solution for rapidly distorted turbulent shear flow in a rotating frame 

      Akylas, Evaggelos; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Langer, A. C. (2006)
      In this study we apply rapid distortion theory to the case of nonstratified homogeneous turbulence that is sheared in a frame that counter-rotates at a rate that matches in magnitude the rotation associated with the mean ...

      Converged solutions of the Newtonian extrudate-swell problem 

      Georgiou, Georgios C.; Boudouvis, Andreas G. (1999)
      Both the axisymmetric and the planar Newtonian extrudate-swell problems are solved using the standard and the singular finite element methods. In the latter method, special elements that incorporate the radial form of the ...

      Core of the magnetic obstacle 

      Votyakov, E. V.; Kassinos, Stavros C. (2010)
      Rich recirculation patterns have been recently discovered in the electrically conducting flow subject to a local external magnetic termed "the magnetic obstacle" (E.V. Votyakov, Y. Kolesnikov, O. Andreev, E. Zienicke, and ...

      Direct numerical simulation of particle laden flow in a human airway bifurcation model 

      Stylianou, F. S.; Sznitman, J.; Kassinos, Stavros C. (2016)
      During the delivery of inhaled medicines, and depending on the size distribution of the particles in the formulation, airway bifurcations are areas of preferential deposition. Previous studies of laminar flow through airway ...

      Dispersed-phase structural anisotropy in homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at low magnetic Reynolds number 

      Rouson, D. I.; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Moulitsas, I.; Sarris, I. E.; Xu, X. (2008)
      A new tensor statistic, the dispersed-phase structure dimensionality Dp, is defined to describe the preferred orientation of clusters of discrete bodies. The evolution of Dp is calculated via direct numerical simulations ...

      Dispersed-phase structure in sheared MHD turbulence 

      Xu, X.; Rouson, D. W. I.; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Radhakrishnan, H. (2012)
      Direct numerical simulations are performed to examine particle dispersion in homogeneous turbulence subjected to mean shear and an externally applied magnetic field. We employ the Brucker et al. algorithm for simulating ...

      Effect of turbulent pulsating flow around a near-wall submerged cylinder on the potential motion of bed and suspended loads 

      Fonias, E. N.; Grigoriadis, D. G. E. (International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2016)
      In the present work, the pulsating flow around a submerged cylinder close to the impermeable seabed is examined by means of Large Eddy Simulations (LES). A Reynolds number equal to Re = 5000 is considered, based on the ...

      Efficient treatment of complex geometries for large eddy simulations of turbulent flows 

      Grigoriadis, D. G. E.; Bartzis, J. G.; Goulas, A. (2004)
      Incompressible turbulent flow over a backward facing step at Reh=5100 is investigated by large eddy simulations (LES). The ratio of the oncoming boundary layer thickness δ to the step height h was set to 1.2. Additionally ...

      Schwab, C.; Suri, M.; Xenophontos, Christos A. (1998)
      Boundary layer phenomena are well-known in the study of fluid flow problems. Perhaps less known, but equally ubiquitous, is their existence in thermal, plate and shell analysis, where they also play a very significant role. ...
