text: Flows through pipes and channels are, in practice, almost always turbulent,
and the multiscale eddying motion is responsible for a major part of the encountered
friction losses and pumping costs1. Conversely, for pulsatile flows, in particular
for aortic blood flow, turbulence levels remain low despite relatively large peak
velocities. For aortic blood flow, high turbulence levels are intolerable as they
would damage the shear-sensitive endothelial cell layer2,3,4,5. Here we show that
turbulence in ordinary pipe flow is diminished if the flow is driven in a pulsatile
mode that incorporates all the key features of the cardiac waveform. At Reynolds
numbers comparable to those of aortic blood flow, turbulence is largely inhibited,
whereas at much higher speeds, the turbulent drag is reduced by more than 25%.
This specific operation mode is more efficient when compared with steady driving,
which is the present situation for virtually all fluid transport processes ranging
from heating circuits to water, gas and oil pipelines.

text: Turbulence generally arises in shear flows if velocities and hence, inertial
forces are sufficiently large. In striking contrast, viscoelastic fluids can exhibit
disordered motion even at vanishing inertia. Intermediate between these cases,
a state of chaotic motion, “elastoinertial turbulence” (EIT), has been observed
in a narrow Reynolds number interval. We here determine the origin of EIT in experiments
and show that characteristic EIT structures can be detected across an unexpectedly
wide range of parameters. Close to onset, a pattern of chevron-shaped streaks
emerges in qualitative agreement with linear and weakly nonlinear theory. However,
in experiments, the dynamics remain weakly chaotic, and the instability can be
traced to far lower Reynolds numbers than permitted by theory. For increasing
inertia, the flow undergoes a transformation to a wall mode composed of inclined
near-wall streaks and shear layers. This mode persists to what is known as the
“maximum drag reduction limit,” and overall EIT is found to dominate viscoelastic
flows across more than three orders of magnitude in Reynolds number.

text: We present nsCouette, a highly scalable software tool to solve the Navier–Stokes
equations for incompressible fluid flow between differentially heated and independently
rotating, concentric cylinders. It is based on a pseudospectral spatial discretization
and dynamic time-stepping. It is implemented in modern Fortran with a hybrid MPI-OpenMP
parallelization scheme and thus designed to compute turbulent flows at high Reynolds
and Rayleigh numbers. An additional GPU implementation (C-CUDA) for intermediate
problem sizes and a version for pipe flow (nsPipe) are also provided.

text: Phase-field methods have long been used to model the flow of immiscible fluids.
Their ability to naturally capture interface topological changes is widely recognized,
but their accuracy in simulating flows of real fluids in practical geometries
is not established. We here quantitatively investigate the convergence of the
phase-field method to the sharp-interface limit with simulations of two-phase
pipe flow. We focus on core-annular flows, in which a highly viscous fluid is
lubricated by a less viscous fluid, and validate our simulations with an analytic
laminar solution, a formal linear stability analysis and also in the fully nonlinear
regime. We demonstrate the ability of the phase-field method to accurately deal
with non-rectangular geometry, strong advection, unsteady fluctuations and large
viscosity contrast. We argue that phase-field methods are very promising for quantitatively
studying moderately turbulent flows, especially at high concentrations of the
disperse phase.

text: Polymer additives can substantially reduce the drag of turbulent flows and
the upperlimit, the so called “maximum drag reduction” (MDR) asymptote is universal,
i.e. inde-pendent of the type of polymer and solvent used. Until recently, the
consensus was that,in this limit, flows are in a marginal state where only a minimal
level of turbulence activ-ity persists. Observations in direct numerical simulations
using minimal sized channelsappeared to support this view and reported long “hibernation” periods where turbu-lence
is marginalized. In simulations of pipe flow we find that, indeed, with increasingWeissenberg
number (Wi), turbulence expresses long periods of hibernation if the domainsize
is small. However, with increasing pipe length, the temporal hibernation continuouslyalters
to spatio-temporal intermittency and here the flow consists of turbulent puffs
sur-rounded by laminar flow. Moreover, upon an increase in Wi, the flow fully
relaminarises,in agreement with recent experiments. At even larger Wi, a different
instability is en-countered causing a drag increase towards MDR. Our findings
hence link earlier minimalflow unit simulations with recent experiments and confirm
that the addition of polymersinitially suppresses Newtonian turbulence and leads
to a reverse transition. The MDRstate on the other hand results from a separate
instability and the underlying dynamicscorresponds to the recently proposed state
of elasto-inertial-turbulence (EIT).

text: The drag of turbulent flows can be drastically decreased by adding small amounts
of high molecular weight polymers. While drag reduction initially increases with
polymer concentration, it eventually saturates to what is known as the maximum
drag reduction (MDR) asymptote; this asymptote is generally attributed to the
dynamics being reduced to a marginal yet persistent state of subdued turbulent
motion. Contrary to this accepted view, we show that, for an appropriate choice
of parameters, polymers can reduce the drag beyond the suggested asymptotic limit,
eliminating turbulence and giving way to laminar flow. At higher polymer concentrations,
however, the laminar state becomes unstable, resulting in a fluctuating flow with
the characteristic drag of the MDR asymptote. Our findings indicate that the asymptotic
state is hence dynamically disconnected from ordinary turbulence. © 2018 American

text: Most flows in nature and engineering are turbulent because of their large
velocities and spatial scales. Laboratory experiments on rotating quasi-Keplerian
flows, for which the angular velocity decreases radially but the angular momentum
increases, are however laminar at Reynolds numbers exceeding one million. This
is in apparent contradiction to direct numerical simulations showing that in these
experiments turbulence transition is triggered by the axial boundaries. We here
show numerically that as the Reynolds number increases, turbulence becomes progressively
confined to the boundary layers and the flow in the bulk fully relaminarizes.
Our findings support that turbulence is unlikely to occur in isothermal constant-density
quasi-Keplerian flows.
