Formation and evolution of vortex rings with weak to moderate swirl (2023)
Journal Article
Ortega Chavez, R., Gan, L., & Gaskell, P. (2023). Formation and evolution of vortex rings with weak to moderate swirl. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 967, Article A16

The formation of swirling vortex rings and their early time evolution, resulting from the controlled discharge of an incompressible, Newtonian fluid into a stationary equivalent fluid bulk, is explored for weak to moderate swirl number S∈[0,1]. Two... Read More about Formation and evolution of vortex rings with weak to moderate swirl.

Flow separation from polygonal cylinders in an incident flow (2023)
Journal Article
Masoudi, E., Sims-Williams, D., & Gan, L. (2023). Flow separation from polygonal cylinders in an incident flow. Physical Review Fluids, 8(1), Article 014701. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevfluids.8.014701

In this paper, we carry out large eddy simulation of incident flow around polygonal cylinders of side number N = 5 − 8 at Reynolds number Re = 10 4 . In total, six incidence angles ( α ) are studied on each polygon between the face and the corner ori... Read More about Flow separation from polygonal cylinders in an incident flow.
