Direct numerical simulation of turbulent channel flow up to Reτ=590

Robert Moser, John Kim, Nagi N. Mansour · 1 Apr 1999

Numerical simulations of fully developed turbulent channel flow at three Reynolds numbers up to Reτ=590 are reported. It is noted that the higher Reynolds number simulations exhibit fewer low Reynolds number effects than previous simulations at Reτ=180. A comprehensive set of statistics gathered from the simulations is available on the web at http://www.tam.uiuc.edu/Faculty/Moser/channel.

On pressure and velocity boundary conditions for the lattice Boltzmann BGK model

Qisu Zou, Xiaoyi He · 1 Jun 1997

Pressure (density) and velocity boundary conditions are studied for 2-D and 3-D lattice Boltzmann BGK models (LBGK) and a new method to specify these conditions is proposed. These conditions are constructed in consistency with the wall boundary condition, based on the idea of bounceback of the non-equilibrium distribution. When these conditions are used together with…

Capillary effects during droplet impact on a solid surface

M. Pasandideh-Fard, Yuhui Qiao, S. Chandra et al. · 1 Mar 1996

Impact of water droplets on a flat, solid surface was studied using both experiments and numerical simulation. Liquid–solid contact angle was varied in experiments by adding traces of a surfactant to water. Impacting droplets were photographed and liquid–solid contact diameters and contact angles were measured from photographs. A numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equation using…

The formation and evolution of synthetic jets

Barton L. Smith, Ari Glezer · 1 Sep 1998

A nominally plane turbulent jet is synthesized by the interactions of a train of counter-rotating vortex pairs that are formed at the edge of an orifice by the time-periodic motion of a flexible diaphragm in a sealed cavity. Even though the jet is formed without net mass injection, the hydrodynamic impulse of the ejected fluid…

An eddy-viscosity subgrid-scale model for turbulent shear flow: Algebraic theory and applications

A.W. Vreman · 31 Aug 2004

An eddy-viscosity model is proposed and applied in large-eddy simulation of turbulent shear flows with quite satisfactory results. The model is essentially not more complicated than the Smagorinsky model, but is constructed in such a way that its dissipation is relatively small in transitional and near-wall regions. The model is expressed in first-order derivatives, does…

Physics of Fluids template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Physics of Fluids format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Physics of Fluids template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AIP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Physics of Fluids use?
Physics of Fluids uses Numbered (AIP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, Physics of Fluids 12, 45 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Physics of Fluids?
No. DocuGuru generates the revtex4-2 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AIP Publishing-ready Physics of Fluids document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Physics of Fluids template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Physics of Fluids format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Physics of Fluids?
AIP Publishing journal (REVTeX 4.2). It is a physics journal, published by AIP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Physics of Fluids PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Physics of Fluids template (the revtex4-2 class) that is ready to submit to AIP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Physics of Fluids template cost?
You can start writing in the Physics of Fluids template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Physics of Fluids PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
