- W2066772261 abstract "A direct numerical simulation of transitional pipe flow is carried out with the help of a spectral element method and used to investigate the localized regions of ‘turbulent’ flow that are observed in experiments. Two types of such regions can be distinguished: the puff and the slug. The puff, which is generally found at low values of the Reynolds numbers, is simulated for Re = 2200 where the Reynolds number Re is based on the mean velocity U B and pipe diameter D . The slug occurs at a higher Reynolds number and it is simulated for Re = 5000. The computations start with a laminar pipe flow to which is added a prescribed velocity disturbance at a given axial position and for a finite time. The disturbance then evolves further into a puff or slug structure. The simulations confirm the experimentally observed fact that for a puff the velocity near the leading edge changes more gradually than for a slug where an almost discontinuous change is observed. The positions of the leading and trailing edges of the puff and slug are computed from the simulations as a function of time. The propagation velocity of the leading edge is found to be constant and equal to 1.56 U B and 1.69 U B for the puff and slug, respectively. For the trailing edge the velocity is found to be 0.73 U B and 0.52 U B , respectively. By rescaling the simulation results obtained at various times to a fixed length, we define an ensemble average. This method is used to compute the average characteristics of the puff and slug such as the spatial distribution of the mean velocity, the turbulent velocity fluctuations and also the wall shear stress. By computing particle trajectories we have investigated the entrainment and detrainment of fluid by a puff and slug. We find that the puff detrains through its trailing edge and entrains through its leading edge. The slug entrains fluid through its leading and through most of its trailing edge. As a consequence the fluid inside the puff is constantly exchanged with fluid outside whereas the fluid inside a slug remains there. These entrainment/detrainment properties which are in agreement with the measurements of Wygnanski & Champagne (1973) imply that the puff has the characteristics of a wave phenomenon while the slug can be characterized more as a material property which travels with the flow. Finally, we have investigated in more detail the velocity field within the puff. In a coordinate system that travels with the mean velocity we find recirculation regions both near the trailing and leading edges which agrees at least qualitatively with experimental data. We also find streamwise vortices, predominantly in the trailing-edge region which have been also observed in experiments and which are believed to play an important role in the dynamics of the transition process." @default.
