Vortex structures generated by dbd plasma actuator
Procházka, Pavel P.
This article deals with the research of vortex structures generated by a plasma actuator. Plasma actuators belong to devices that can be used for active flow control. Plasma actuator flow control has been in the center of interest for the last two decades. However, one can find only a limited amount of information dealing with the physical principal of this phenomenon. The conclusion of this article is formulated to give an explanation of physical laws acting during generating, evaluating and decay vortex structures in a complex way to ensure that results could be apply in the future for more applicable research.

Application of the opd method in a flow-field dynamics analysis
Uruba, Václav
The Oscillation Pattern Decomposition method (OPD) is applicable on the dynamical velocity vector fields of turbulent flow coming from either mathematical simulation (DNS) or from experiment using an appropriate technique (time-resolved PIV in most cases). The OPD method is based on idea of identification of patterns rated according to their stability of appearance.

Dynamics of flow behind backward-facing step in a narrow channel
Uruba, Václav
The results and their analysis from experiments obtained by TR-PIV are presented on the model of backward-facing step in a narrow channel. The recirculation zone is studied in details. Mean structures are evaluated from fluctuating velocity fields. Then dynamics of the flow is characterized with help of POD (BOD) technique. Substantial differences in high energy dynamical structures behaviour within the back-flow region and further downstream behind the flow reattachment have been found.

Mean structure of the flow over backward facing step in a narrow channel
Uruba, Václav
Flow structure behind the backward facing step in a narrow channel was studied in details. The step height was 25 % of the channel width. The structure of the region just behind the step forming the back-flow region was subjected to experimental investigation using stereo PIV technique. Time-mean 3D structures behind the step are evaluated and shown in the paper.
