In a thermoacoustic system, such as a flame in a combustor, heat release oscillations couple
with acoustic pressure oscillations. If the heat release is sufficiently in phase with the …

In fluid dynamics, predicting and characterizing bifurcations, from the onset of unsteadiness
to the transition to turbulence, is of critical importance for both academic and industrial …

Microfluidic experiments and discrete particle simulations using the lattice-Boltzmann
method are used to study interactions of finite size hard spheres and vortical flow inside …

The study of the stability of a dynamical system described by a set of partial differential
equations (PDEs) requires the computation of unstable states as the control parameter …

The adjoint method has been used in the indoor environment for more than ten years, but it
has not been widely used up to now. This paper describes the current state of the adjoint …

The present work investigates sidewall effects on the characteristics of three-dimensional (3-
D) compressible flows over a rectangular cavity with aspect ratios of L/D= 6 and W/D= 2 at R …

The Rossiter modes of an open cavity were studied using bi-global linear analysis, local
instability analysis and nonlinear numerical simulations. Rossiter modes are normally seen …

The present work demonstrates the use of a resolvent analysis to obtain physical insights for
open-cavity flows. A resolvent analysis identifies the flow response to harmonic forcing …

In this work, the analytical derivation and the computer implementation of the adjoint method
are described. The adjoint method can be effectively used for solving the optimal control …

Spatial marching methods, in which the flow state is spatially evolved in the downstream
direction, can be used to produce low-cost models of flows containing a slowly varying …
