Vortical Structures in Transition to Turbulence through Randomly Packed Porous Media: Scale, Energy, and Mixing Characteristics

Creator:

Mohammadi Ziazi, Reza

Abstract:

Vortical structures are the driving mechanism of transition to turbulence in porous media requiring adequately resolved observations along with analysis of the scale and energy of ﬂow within the pores. Of speciﬁc interest is to understand the vortex dynamics, energy, and turbulent mixing and transport properties in the scale of...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Reza Mohammadi Ziazi for
Experimental Investigations of the Unsteady Aerodynamics of Oscillating Airfoils Operating in the Energy Harvesting Regime

Creator:

Siala, Firas F.

Abstract:

The rising global trend to reduce dependence on fossil fuels has provided significant motivation toward the development of alternative energy conversion methods and new technologies to improve their efficiency. Recently, oscillating energy harvesters have shown promise as highly efficient and scalable turbines, which can be implemented in areas where traditional...
