• Recent Developments and New Results on The Flow Around an Inclined 6:1 Prolate Spheroid 

      Strandenes, Håkon; Jiang, Fengjian; Pettersen, Bjørnar; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Chapter, 2017)
      In the light of new computational resources and improved simulation tools we present new simulations of the flow around an inclined 6:1 prolate spheroid. We present the development of the flow from the symmetric and laminar ...
    • Revisiting the reattachment regime: a closer look at tandem cylinder flow at Re=10000 

      Aasland, Tale Egeberg; Pettersen, Bjørnar; Andersson, Helge Ingolf; Jiang, Fengjian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Tandem cylinder flow comprises several different flow regimes. Within the reattachment regime, the development of the gap shear layers is of utmost importance to the flow, but has received little attention so far. Through ...
    • Scale-dependent particle clustering in transitional wake flow 

      Shi, Zhaoyu; Jiang, Fengjian; Zhao, Lihao; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Dispersion and mixing of inertial point particles in the unsteady and three-dimensional wake of a circular cylinder at Re=200 are investigated via one-way coupled simulations. The presence of streamwise-oriented vortical ...
    • State-of-the-Art Review of Vortex-Induced Motions of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Structures 

      Yin, Decao; Passano, Elisabeth; Jiang, Fengjian; Lie, Halvor; Wu, Jie; Ye, Naiquan; Sævik, Svein; Leira, Bernt Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The motivation for this study is the fast development of floating offshore wind energy and the immature methodology and engineering practice related to predictions of vortex-induced motions (VIM). Benefiting from the oil ...
    • Three-dimensional wake transition behind an elliptic cylinder near a moving wall 

      Zhu, Jianxun; Jiang, Fengjian; Holmedal, Lars Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In this work, the flow over an elliptic cylinder near a moving wall is investigated for Reynolds numbers less than 150. Here, the ratio between the gap (i.e., the distance between the cylinder and the wall) and the length ...
    • Turbulent wake behind a concave curved cylinder 

      Jiang, Fengjian; Pettersen, Bjørnar; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We present a detailed study of the turbulent wake behind a quarter-of-ring curved cylinder at Reynolds number Re = 3900 (based on cylinder diamter and incoming ow velocity), by means of Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). ...
    • Vortex dislocation mechanisms in the near wake of a step cylinder 

      Tian, Cai; Jiang, Fengjian; Pettersen, Bjørnar; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Vortex interactions behind step cylinders with diameter ratio D/d = 2 and 2.4 at Reynolds number ( ReD ) 150 were investigated by directly solving the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations. In accordance with previous ...
    • Vortex system around a step cylinder in a turbulent flow field 

      Tian, Cai; Jiang, Fengjian; Pettersen, Bjørnar; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The vortex system around the step surface of a step cylinder with a diameter ratio D/d=2 at Reynolds number (ReD) 3900 was investigated by directly solving the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations. Formation mechanisms ...
    • Wake behind a concave curved cylinder 

      Jiang, Fengjian; Pettersen, Bjørnar; Andersson, Helge Ingolf; Kim, Jongmin; Kim, Sungtae (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The wake behind a quarter-of-ring concave curved cylinder is investigated in this paper by means of direct numerical simulations. The plane of curvature is aligned with the uniform incoming flow. We have appended straight ...
    • Wall Modeled Large Eddy Simulation of Viscous Flow on the BeVERLI Hill Geometry 

      Engan, Lars (Master thesis, 2021)
      I denne masteroppgaven har vegg-modellert LES blitt brukt til å simulere den viskøse strømningen over BeVERLI hill geometrien. BeVERLI hill er en veggmontert «bump» som blir brukt i valideringsstudier av turbulente separerte ...
