RANS and LES predictions of turbulent scalar transport in dead zones of natural streams

Creator:

Drost, Kevin J.

Abstract:

Natural stream systems contain a variety of ﬂow geometries which contain ﬂow separation, turbulent shear layers, and recirculation zones. This work focuses on streams with dead zones. Characterized by slower ﬂow and recirculation, dead zones are naturally occurring cutouts in stream banks. These dead zones play an important role in...

Shear and convective turbulence in a model of thermohaline intrusions

Creator:

Mueller, Rachael

Abstract:

Thermohaline interleaving is an important mechanism for laterally fluxing salt, heat, and nutrients between oceanic water masses. Interleaving is driven by a release of potential energy resulting from the vastly differing diffusivities of heat and salt in seawater. The flows are composed of stacked intrusions that flux more buoyant and...

Numerical simulation of cavitating bubble-laden turbulent flows

Creator:

Shams Sobhani, Ehsan

Abstract:

Many engineering devices and propulsion systems suffer from undesirable effects of cavitation; such as degradation in the efficiency of pumps and turbines, generation of noise and vibration on ship propeller, increased drag and erosion of propeller blade, etc. In spite of decades of research on this problem, detailed study of...
