    Abstract The flapping of the flag is a classical model problem for the understanding of fluid-structure interaction: How does the flat state lose stability? Why do the nonlinear effects induce hysteretic behavior? We show in this Letter that, in contrast with the commonly studied model, the full three-dimensional flag with gravity has no stationary state whose stability can be formally studied: The waves are oblique and must immediately be of large amplitude. The remarkable structure of these waves results from the interplay of weight, geometry, and aerodynamic forces. This pattern is a key element in the force balance which allows the flag to hold and fly in the wind: Large amplitude oblique waves are responsible for lift.

    Abstract We show that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability excited by a localized perturbation yields a self-similar wave. The instability of the mixing layer was first conceived by Helmholtz as the inevitable growth of any localized irregularity into a spiral, but the search and uncovering of the resulting self-similar evolution was hindered by the technical success of Kelvin's wavelike perturbation theory. The identification of a self-similar solution is useful since its specific structure is witness of a subtle nonlinear equilibrium among the forces involved. By simulating numerically the Navier-Stokes equations, we analyze the properties of the wave: growth rate, propagation speed and the dependency of its shape upon the density ratio of the two phases of the mixing layer.

  3. Article ; Online: Phase relationship in laminar channel flow controlled by traveling-wave-like blowing or suction.

    Mamori, Hiroya / Fukagata, Koji / Hoepffner, Jerôme

    Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics

    Abstract: The phase relationship between the streamwise and the wall-normal velocity disturbances induced by a traveling-wave-like blowing or suction control [T. Min, J. Fluid Mech. 558, 309 (2006)] in a two-dimensional laminar Poiseuille flow is investigated. The ...

    Abstract The phase relationship between the streamwise and the wall-normal velocity disturbances induced by a traveling-wave-like blowing or suction control [T. Min, J. Fluid Mech. 558, 309 (2006)] in a two-dimensional laminar Poiseuille flow is investigated. The investigation is done by solving the linearized Navier-Stokes equation and by using the identity equation between the skin-friction drag and the Reynolds shear stress [K. Fukagata, Phys. Fluids 14, L73 (2002)]. It has been known that a traveling wave creates a nonquadrature between the velocity disturbances and generates the positive phase shift of the streamwise velocity disturbance in the case of a skin-friction drag reduction. The present analysis further reveals that this nonquadrature consists of an inviscid base phase relationship and a near-wall phase shift induced by the viscosity. The analogy between the present control and Stokes' second problem is discussed. The thickness of the near-wall region in which the viscous phase shift takes place is found to be scaled similarly to the Stokes' second problem.

    Abstract A droplet ejection mechanism in planar two-phase mixing layers is examined. Any disturbance on the gas-liquid interface grows into a Kelvin-Helmholtz wave, and the wave crest forms a thin liquid film that flaps as the wave grows downstream. Increasing the gas speed, it is observed that the film breaks up into droplets which are eventually thrown into the gas stream at large angles. In a flow where most of the momentum is in the horizontal direction, it is surprising to observe these large ejection angles. Our experiments and simulations show that a recirculation region grows downstream of the wave and leads to vortex shedding similar to the wake of a backward-facing step. The ejection mechanism results from the interaction between the liquid film and the vortex shedding sequence: a recirculation zone appears in the wake of the wave and a liquid film emerges from the wave crest; the recirculation region detaches into a vortex and the gas flow over the wave momentarily reattaches due to the departure of the vortex; this reattached flow pushes the liquid film down; by now, a new recirculation vortex is being created in the wake of the wave - just where the liquid film is now located; the liquid film is blown up from below by the newly formed recirculation vortex in a manner similar to a bag-breakup event; the resulting droplets are catapulted by the recirculation vortex.
