      The flow of fluid confined between a heated rotating cylinder and a cooled stationary cylinder is a canonical experiment for the study of heat transfer in engineering. The theoretical treatment of this system is greatly ...
    • Crossflow instability of finite Bödewadt flows: transients and spiral waves 

      López, Juan A.; Marqués Truyol, Francisco; Rubio, Antonio M.; Àvila Cañellas, Marc (2009-11)
      Article

      The flow in an enclosed rotating cylinder with a stationary lower end wall is investigated numerically. For fast rotation rates, the flow in the interior is primarily in the azimuthal direction, with an angular momentum ...
    • Emergence of spatio-temporal dynamics from exact coherent solutions in pipe flow

      Turbulent-laminar patterns are ubiquitous near transition in wall-bounded shear flows. Despite recent progress in describing their dynamics in analogy to non-equilibrium phase transitions, there is no theory explaining ...
    • Instability mechanisms and transition scenarios of spiral turbulence in Taylor-Couette flow 

      Meseguer Serrano, Álvaro; Mellibovsky Elstein, Fernando; Àvila Cañellas, Marc; Marqués Truyol, Francisco (2009-10)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Alternating laminar and turbulent helical bands appearing in shear flows between counterrotating cylinders are accurately computed and the near-wall instability phenomena responsible for their generation identified for the ...

      Subcritical instabilities in small gap Taylor-Couette (TCF) problem are studied numerically when both cylinders rotate in opposite directions. The computations are carried out for a radius ratio A first exploration is ...
    • Streamwise-localized solutions at the onset of turbulence in pipe flow

      Although the equations governing fluid flow are well known, there are no analytical expressions that describe the complexity of turbulent motion. A recent proposition is that in analogy to low dimensional chaotic systems, ...
