    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario L'interazione di un vortice ad anello con una parete obliqua, aRe=1389, è stata analizzata mediante la simulazione diretta delle equazioni di Navier-Stokes in coordinate cartesiane. In accordo con un precedente esperimento [1] è stato evidenziato che la vorticità secondaria, prodotta alla parete, si organizza in una strutura vorticosa a ‘loop’ nella regione dell'anello più lontana dalla parete. Quando il vortice si avvicina alla parete, la parte più vicina è soggetta ad un'elevata deformazione che aumenta il valore della vorticità nel ‘core’. La distribuzione non uniforme di vorticità lungo il ‘core’ del vortice genera delle linee di vorticità elicoidali che vengono transportate verso la regione dell'anello più lontana dalla parete. L'analisi dei campi di vorticità e di deformazione ha rivelato che il gradiente di pressione, dovuto al campo di deformazione non uniforme lungo il ‘core’ del vortice, è responsabile di un moto convettivo che trasporta le linee di vorticità ed accumula la vorticità secondaria nella regione del vortice più lontana dalla parete, dove la struttura secondaria viene generata. Il ruolo fondamentale della deformazione non uniforme è stato evidenziato mediante il confronto della collisione obliqua coni casi di collisione normale e di collisione di una coppia di vortici bidimensionali con una parete obliqua.
    Notes: Abstract The oblique collision of a vortex ring with a solid wall, atRe=Γ/ν=1389, has been analysed by the direct simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations in Cartesian coordinates. In accordance with a previous experimental study [1], the secondary vorticity produced at the wall is organized into a loop-like vortex in the region of the ring furthest away from the wall. As the ring approaches the wall, the region closest is subjected to a high rate of stretching which increases the vorticity in the core. The vorticity gradients along the core generate bi-helical vortex lines continually displaced towards the region of the ring furthest away from the wall. The analysis of the vorticity and straining fields revealed that the pressure gradient along the core is responsible for the convective motion that displaces these vortex lines and accumulates secondary vorticity in the region far from the wall. This vorticity rolls up and forms a secondary structure which by self-induction moves away from the wall. The fundamental role of the differential stretching has been demonstrated by comparing the case of oblique collision with that of normal collision and with the collision of a two-dimensional vortex pair with an oblique wall.

    Notes: Abstract  The performance of a four hot-wire transverse vorticity probe is tested by comparing measurements in a fully developed turbulent channel flow with corresponding data obtained from direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the same flow. In the inner region, the probe performs poorly, the rms vorticities being consistently smaller than the DNS values. In the outer region of the flow, there is reasonable agreement between measured and DNS vorticity statistics, especially after correcting the measurements for the effect of spatial resolution. In this region, the imbalance indicated by the vorticity form of the streamwise momentum equation is approximately constant. The magnitude of the imbalance can be reduced to an acceptable level of accuracy by considering sources of error which affect the velocity–vorticity correlations.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes a study of the centred collision between a dipolar vortex and a solid circular cylinder. The flow was analysed experimentally by using dye visualizations and streak photography. Flow characteristics such as vorticity fields and the transport of passive tracers were compared with numerical simulations. Observations revealed that thin layers of vorticity, created at the cylinder wall are advected by the primary dipole halves, which, while rolling up into compact patches, give rise to the formation of two new asymmetric dipoles that move away along curved trajectories. The structure of the vorticity distribution inside the dipole, before and after the collision, has been investigated. Both the numerical and the experimental results indicate that the vorticity patches originating from the original primary dipole approximately preserve their original functional relationship ω=f(ψ), while the secondary vorticity patches show a tendency to organize into structures attaining a similar relationship.

    Notes: Abstract A direct numerical simulation of a three-dimensional free evolving vortex ring has been performed to understand some features of the dynamics of vortex rings. In previous experiments, a persistent wake has been observed and the direct simulation has clarified the causes of this wake formation. A kinematic alignment analysis of the vorticity vector with the eigenvectors of the strain-rate tensor, together with vorticity visualisations, have been employed to explain the growth of the ‘Widnall’ instabilities. The analysis has shown the presence of two different zones, the first characterised by intense vorticity and low strain rate and the second with opposite features. In the former, there is a ring core which maintains its coherence even in the long term, in the latter there are elongated structures contributing to the deformation of the ring.

    Notes: Abstract Accurate numerical simulations of vortex rings impinging on flat boundaries have revealed the same features observed in the experiment of Walkeret al. (1987). They observed atRe v 〉1250 the formation of azimuthal instabilities in the secondary ring during its compression within the primary ring. In the present numerical simulation the number of waves agrees very well with those observed in the experiment. The distributions of the vorticities together with the distribution of each term in the vorticity equations give insights on the formation of azimuthal instabilities.

    Notes: This paper reports on the outcome of a workshop of the IAHR Working Group on Refined Modelling of Flows on the subject of computing laminar flows in complex geometries. Flow inside a channel with a smooth expansion was chosen by the organizers of the workshop as a suitable test case for assessing the capabilities of current numerical methods. The results obtained by fifteen participant groups are presented and compared against a suitable benchmark solution. The most important considerations that emerged at the workshop are briefly reported and the conclusions arising from an analysis and comparison of the various solutions are finally provided.
