Spatial evolution of wall-imposed disturbance in pipe flow Cas van Doorne,1 Jerry Westerweel,1 Frans Nieuwstadt (†), Tobias Schneider2 & Bruno Eckhardt2 1Laboratory for Aero & Hydrodynamics, Delft University of Technology The Netherlands 2Fachbereich Physik, University of Marburg, Germany
Motivation • Transition in pipe flow has remained an unresolved problem (Reynolds 1883) • Experimental validation of the transition scenario (e.g., DNS by Ma Bing et al. 1999) • What is the nature of the boundary between laminar and turbulent flow? (Edge of Chaos, Skufka et al. 2006) • Turbulence control?
Numerical edge trajectory Skufka, Yorke, Eckhardt, PRL 96 (2006) 174101
Edge state structure: off-center jet Experiment Numerical simulation Re = 3000 Re = 2875
Spectral mode decomposition Re = 3000, 0.25 Hz DNS S-PIV
Conclusions • Flow transition induced by laminar disturbance mechanism • High-precision S-PIV set-up for measuring cross-flow • Disturbance mimics the edge of chaos flow structure • Quantitative measurement of development of streaks into packets of hairpin vortices • Next:add second disturbance mechanism to achieve flow control in experimental configuration
