The use of POD filtering to study the transition from 2D to 3D in stratified two- phase flow
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hann, D. B., Loizou, K., Vasques, J., Tokarev, M. P., & Cherdantsev, A. V. (2018, July). The use of POD filtering to study the transition from 2D to 3D in stratified two- phase flow. Presented at 19th International Symposium on the Application of Laser and Imaging Techniques to Fluid Mechanics, Lisbon, Portugal

The understanding of the velocity profile beneath waves in sheared flow can have implications for the understanding of heat transfer in many applications. In this paper an analysis of the velocity field beneath 2D and 3D waves is performed to underst...
