The ASBM-SA turbulence closure: Taking advantage of structure-based modeling in current engineering CFD codes
(2015)
Structure-based turbulence models (SBM) carry information about the turbulence structure that is needed for the prediction of complex non-equilibrium flows. SBM have been successfully used to predict a number of canonical ...
Structure-based turbulence model: Application to a rotating pipe flow
(2002)
A new approach for modeling the one-point turbulence statistics, which takes into account the information on turbulence structure, has been suggested in Kassinos and Reynolds (Report TF-61, Thermosciences Division, Department ...
Structure and scales in turbulence modeling
(2002)
The enstrophy of the large-scale energy-containing turbulence is proposed as the second turbulence scale for use, in conjunction with the turbulence energy, in two-scale one-point engineering turbulence models. Its transport ...
Numerical simulations of turbulent flows within an infinite array of randomly placed cylinders
(2018)
We address the task of modelling numerically turbulent flows within random arrays of circular cylinders, relevant for several industrial and environmental applications. Numerical simulations are employed to model infinite ...
Dispersed-phase structural anisotropy in homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at low magnetic Reynolds number
(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 ...
Laminar free convection in a square enclosure driven by the Lorentz force
(2010)
A numerical study is presented of laminar free convection flow driven by magnetic forces. An external magnetic field with one spatially varying component is applied to an electrically conducting fluid in a square enclosure. ...
Large-eddy simulations of the turbulent Hartmann flow close to the transitional regime
(2007)
A series of large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent and transitional channel flows of a conductive fluid under the effect of a uniform magnetic field applied in the wall-normal direction, usually referred to as Hartmann ...
The contribution of active and inactive structures to the statistics of a turbulent pipe flow
(2017)
The current study is a short follow-up to our most recent work (Stylianou et al., 2016), where among other things we have presented an effective criterion suitable for distinguishing large-scale coherent structures with ...
Direct numerical simulation of particle laden flow in a human airway bifurcation model
(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 ...
Solution of viscoplastic flows with the finite volume / multigrid method
(National Technical University of Athens, 2013)
We investigate the performance of the finite volume method in solving viscoplastic flows. The square lid-driven cavity flow of a Bingham plastic is chosen as the test case and the constitutive equation is regularised as ...
