A good understanding of turbulent compressible flows is essential to the design and
operation of high-speed vehicles. Such flows occur, for example, in the external flow over …

To better understand the nature of the multiphase material found in outflowing galaxies, we
study the evolution of cold clouds embedded in flows of hot and fast material. Using a suite …

The modeling of turbulent free shear flows is crucial to the simulation of many aerospace
applications, yet often receives less attention than the modeling of wall boundary layers …

Experiments were conducted in a two-stream planar mixing layer at convective Mach
numbers, Mc, of 0.28, 0.42, 0.50, 0.62 and 0.79. Planar laser Mie scattering (PLMS) from a …

Direct numerical simulation databases have been used to study the effect of compressibility
on mixing layers. The simulations cover convective Mach numbers from 0.2 to 1.2 and all …

The effect of Mach number on the evolution of instabilities in the compressible mixing layer
is investigated. The full time-dependent compressible Navier–Stokes equations are solved …

FUNDAMENTAL to the success of hypersonic air-breath-ing propulsion systems are the
efficient injection, mixing, and combustion processes that occur inside the combustion …

This work uses direct numerical simulations of time evolving annular mixing layers, which
correspond to the early development of round jets, to study compressibility effects on …

Abstract The Large-Eddy Simulation technique of compressible flows and the effect of
compressibility on mixing layers are the main subjects of this thesis. Direct Numerical …

Detached-eddy simulation is applied to an axisymmetric base flow at supersonic conditions.
Detached-eddy simulation is a hybrid approach to modeling turbulence that combines the …
