Dynamics of Shape Oscillations of a Bubble Attached to a Capillary Tip
Vobecká, Lucie ; Vejražka, Jiří ; Orvalho, Sandra ; Zedníková, Mária ; Tihon, Jaroslav
The shape oscillations of a bubble, which is attached to a tip of a capillary tube, are studied experimentally. It is observed that the attachment leads to an appearance of an additional low-frequency mode (denoted as mode 1), when compared to standard theories of oscillations of free bubbles or drops. It is observed that the frequency of mode 1 scales with the bubble size as f ~ D^(-2). The oscillation dynamics of a bubble is strongly influenced if some surface active agent is present in the liquid. Due to interfacial elasticity, the surfactants presence in low concentration increases the oscillation frequency. The decay of oscillations is also faster, probably due to an increase of energy dissipation by Marangoni stresses.

Wavelet and POD Analysis of Turbulent Flow Within Street Canyon
Kellnerová, Radka ; Kukačka, Libor ; Uruba, Václav ; Antoš, Pavel ; Odin, J. ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
Wavelet analysis of flow inside the street canyon is applied on highrepetition PIV and high-frequency hot wire data. Experiment is performed in windchannel with floor covered by series of street canyons.The passage of sweep and ejection events is detected as being long-term signature in lower frequencies. The passage of vortex is recognizable as circular patterns in higher frequencies on Wavelet spectrum.When using velocity vectors as input data, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) reveals the most dominant modes in terms of turbulent kinetic energy.

Coherent turbulent structures in flow through the human vocal tract
Šidlof, Petr ; Doaré, O. ; Cadot, O. ; Čejka, J.
This paper presents experimental and computational data on the coherent turbulent structures in flow through the human vocal tract. The experimental results were obtained using a 4:1 scaled self-oscillating physical model of vocal folds. Flow velocity fields in the coronal plane were visualized and measured using a PIV system phase-synchronized with vocal fold vibration. Computational results originate from finite volume discretizations of viscous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in 2D and 3D. The results reveal flow separation in the divergent part of glottis and formation of a planar jet. Vortex structures are shed from the shear layer of the jet and convected further downstream. The computational model helps to assess the influence of the ventricular folds on the flow patterns.

Visualization of Flow Separation and Control by Vortex Generators on an Single Flap in Landing Configuration
Součková, Natálie ; Kuklová, J. ; Popelka, Lukáš ; Matějka, Milan
This paper focuses on a suppression of the flow separation, which occurs on a deflected flap, by means of vortex generators (VG's). An airfoil NACA 63A421 with a simple flap and vane-type vortex generators were used. The investigation was carried out by using experimental and numerical methods. The data from the numerical simulation of the flapped airfoil without VG's control were used for the vortex generator design. Two sizes, two different shapes and various spacing of the vortex generators were tested. The flow past the airfoil was visualized through three methods, namely tuft filaments technique, oil and thermo camera visualization. The experiments were performed in closed circuit wind tunnels with closed and open test sections. The lift curves for both cases without and with vortex generators were acquired for a lift coefficient improvement determination. The improvement was achieved for several cases by means all of the applied methods.

Application of the algebraic bypass-transition model for internal and external flows
Straka, P. ; Příhoda, Jaromír
A modified algebraic model of bypass transition was implemented into the in-house numerical code for the simulation of 2D compressible turbulent flow using the RANS equations and the k-omega turbulence model. The intemittent character of flow in the transition region is described by the algebraic relation for the intermittency coefficient and by empirical relations for the onset and the length of the transition region. The modified algebraic model considers different intermittency coefficient in the boundary layer and in the outer turbulent stream. The proposed model was verified by means of test cases ERCOFTAC covering boundary-layer flow with various free-stream turbulence and pressure gradient. Further, the model was applied for the simulation of the transitional flow through a turbine blade cascade and around the NACA 0012 aerofoil.

Modelling of subcritical free-surface flow over an inclined backward-facing step in a water channel
Příhoda, Jaromír ; Zubík, P. ; Šulc, J. ; Sedlář, M.
The contribution deals with the experimental and numerical modelling of subcritical turbulent flow in an open channel with an inclined backward-facing step. The step with the inclination angle 20 deg was placed in the water channel of the cross-section 200x200 mm. Experiments were carried out by means of the PIV and LDA measuring techniques. Numerical simulations were executed by means of the commercial software ANSYS CFX 12.0. Numerical results obtained for two-equation models and EARSM turbulence model completed by transport equations for turbulent energy and specific dissipation rate were compared with experimental data. The modelling was concentrated particularly on the development of the flow separation and on the corresponding changes of free surface.
