Transition to turbulence in pipe flow and the effect of a wall-jet periodic disturbance
Abstract
The laminar flow in a straight pipe of circular cross-section leads to an elegant solution in the form of a
parabolic velocity profile. Many physicists and engineers have verified this velocity profile and the
associated Hagen-Poiseuille pressure drop law. When the flow rate increases with a low level of
disturbance at the pipe inlet, the flow stays laminar, even at large velocities. However, when
disturbances are present or artificially added, a sudden transition to turbulence is observed. In this
presentation, we will describe the effect of various disturbances in pipe flow. Specifically, the effect of
a wall-jet periodic injection through a small orifice in the wall, sometimes called synthetic jet, will be
presented and compared to other types of disturbances. In a second part of the presentation,
experiments and numerical simulations of the transition to turbulence in pipes with expansions, smooth
of abrupt expansion, will be also examined with special attention to the role of the corner recirculation
regions on the transition to turbulence.

Transition to turbulence and statistical phase transitions
Abstract
“What we really cannot do is deal with actual, wet water running through a pipe. That is the central problem which we ought to solve some day, and we have not.” This statement by Richard Feynman captures how the seemingly simple motion of fluid through a pipe can present such an immense scientific challenge. After years of missteps, controversies, and uncertainties, we are at long last converging on a unified and fascinating picture of the transition to turbulence in flows such as pipes, channels, and ducts. I will discuss recent developments that have established a deep connection between transition in subcritical shear flows and a class of non-equilibrium statistical phase transitions known as directed percolation. I will review important results in the field with focus on the spatio-temporal nature of the problem and how universality manifests itself.

The physics and mathematical modelling of the atmospheric boundary layer
Abstract
The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is the lowest part of the Earth’s atmosphere, directly influenced by surface interactions, such as heat, moisture, and momentum exchange. Its behavior is crucial for understanding weather patterns, pollutant dispersion, and wind energy resources. The physics of the ABL is governed by complex processes, including turbulence, buoyancy, friction, and shear. These processes lead to rapid changes in temperature, wind speed, and humidity over short vertical distances. The ABL is often characterized by turbulent mixing, where energy is transferred between different scales of motion. This turbulent flow is responsible for transporting heat, moisture, and momentum between the surface and the free atmosphere above. A key challenge in ABL modeling is the accurate representation of surface boundary conditions, which strongly influence the turbulence regime. This is typically done using parameterization schemes that model the fluxes of momentum, heat, and moisture based on surface characteristics like roughness and vegetation. In this talk we will discuss the physics and the mathematical modelling of this highly important flow, highlighting some of its most relevant concepts and paving the way for the next talks of this special session.

Quantitative flow visualisation for the study of transition and turbulence
Abstract
Flow visualisation has been one of the first approaches that reveal the complex flow patterns and dynamics occurring during flow transition and turbulence.
The needed transformation of qualitative visualisations into quantitative measurements has initially required a dimensional downgrading (from 3D to planar and often point wise measurements).
The advent of PIV has combined the ability to yield quantitative data with the observation of flow-field pattern. The constantly evolving velocity and vorticity patterns of transitional and turbulent flows could be captured, instantly and in a reasonably large measurement plane. The last two decades have 3D quantitative visualisation techniques emerging (Tomographic PIV, Lagrangian Particle Tracking) and their time-resolved variants (TR-TOMO-PIV and Shake-the-Box).
The lecture presents the principles of such techniques in the context of transition and turbulent flow problems. A survey of applications is presented that ranges from roughness induced transition to turbulent skin friction control. An outlook describes the latest developments towards large-scale PIV by means of helium-filled soap bubbles (HFSB) for the study of complex problems directly in real-world conditions.

Patterns of Turbulence
Abstract
A standing wave pattern appears on the free surface of a fluid layer when it is subjected to vertical
oscillation of sufficiently high amplitude. Like Taylor-Couette flow (TC) and Rayleigh-Benard
convection (RB), the Faraday instability is one of the archetypical pattern-forming systems. Unlike TC
and RB, the wavelength is controlled by the forcing frequency rather than by the fluid depth, making it
easy to destabilize multiple wavelengths everywhere simultaneously. Starting in the 1990s,
experimental realizations using this technique produced fascinating phenomena such as quasipatterns
and superlattices. This sparked a renaissance of interest in Faraday waves, which led to new
mathematical theories of pattern formation. However, the Faraday instability has been the subject of
surprisingly little numerical study, lagging behind TC and RB by several decades. We will discuss
some of the exotic patterns found in recent numerical simulations. The first 3D simulation reproduced
hexagonal standing waves, which were succeeded by recurrent alternation between quasi-hexagonal
and beaded striped patterns, interconnected by spatio-temporal symmetries. In a large domain, a pattern
of square waves divides spontaneously into four subsquares with synchronized diagonal blocks or else
can undergo a twisted sheared secondary instability. A liquid drop subjected to an oscillatory radial
force comprises a spherical version of the Faraday instability. Simulations show Platonic solids
alternating with their duals while precessing.

Fake turbulence
Abstract
Turbulence is a high-dimensional dynamical system with known equations of motion. It can be
numerically integrated, but the simulation results are also high-dimensional and hard to interpret.
Lower-dimensional models are not dynamical systems, because some dynamics is discarded in the
projection, and a stochastic Perron-Frobenius operator substitutes the equations of motion. Using as
example turbulent flows at moderate but non-trivial Reynolds number, we show that particularly
deterministic projections can be identified by either Monte-Carlo or exhaustive testing, and can be
interpreted as coherent structures. We also show that they can be used to construct data-driven ‘fake’
models that retain many of the statistical characteristics of the real flow.

Computational modelling and simulation of wind turbines and wind farm flows
Abstract
Computational modeling and simulation of wind turbines and wind farm flows have become essential tools for optimizing wind energy production, understanding aerodynamic interactions, and predicting wind turbine loads. Wind farms operate in complex and dynamic atmospheric environments, where interactions between the rotor blades and wind flow, as well as interactions between multiple turbines, are influenced by turbulence, wake effects, and atmospheric boundary layer phenomena. To address these challenges, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and other numerical approaches are used to simulate the flow around turbines and within entire wind farms. One of the key challenges in wind farm simulations is the modeling of turbine wakes. As wind flows past a turbine, it generates a wake characterized by reduced wind speed and increased turbulence. These wakes can significantly impact downstream turbines, reducing their power output and increasing mechanical loads. To simulate wake interactions within a wind farm, different methods are employed, including actuator disk models, which represent turbines as porous disks that induce a momentum deficit in the flow, and full rotor-resolved CFD simulations, which capture detailed aerodynamic effects. Large eddy simulation (LES) is often used to model turbulence in the wind farm, providing insights into the effects of atmospheric conditions on wake formation and propagation. In this talk, we will address the computational techniques employed to simulate the operation of wind turbines and wind farms using different degrees of fidelity. We will discuss the differences in level of representation of the physics that each approach is able to deliver, as well as their computational cost.

New perspectives on instability of laminar separation bubbles: have we been missing something
important?
Abstract
Decades of research have established the ubiquity of convective inflectional instability in laminar
separation bubbles (LSBs) and its dominant role on the laminar-turbulent transition process. However,
a plethora of additional dynamics including three-dimensionalisation of the mean flow, low-frequency
breathing or self-excited vortex shedding have been observed as the key parameters, namely adverse
pressure gradient, Reynolds number and incoming turbulence intensity, are varied; these additional
dynamics cannot be fully explained by convective instability alone. To fill these gaps, global instability
mechanisms of LSBs were proposed in the past, but most low- turbulence wind tunnel experiments
either did not find evidence of their presence, or attributed the possible evidences to by-products of the
inflectional instability.
This talk will briefly revisit and depart from theoretically-predicted self-sustained linear instabilities of
LSBs [1]. First, a geometrical criterion for the onset of absolutely unstable inflectional instability will
be proposed [2], based on the relative position of the inflection point and the separation streamline.
Recent results on non-linear and secondary instabilities of 3D separated flows will be then presented.
They show that the spanwise distortion of the recirculation region, which is inherent to separated flows,
strongly enhances inflectional instability, potentially leading to their absolute instability and to the
appearance of a self-excited global oscillator [3]. This sequence triggers the laminar-turbulent transition
without requiring any external disturbances or actuation, and also may define the dynamics in the
presence of low-amplitude free-stream disturbances [4, 5].
The resulting LSBs agree well with those reported for low-turbulence wind-tunnel experiments without
actuation at comparable conditions, which suggests that the inherent dynamics described by the self-
excited instability might have been present and overlooked. Finally, some recent experimental works
will be discussed under the light of the theoretical results with the aim of offering an enlarged
perspective for future research.
