B27.00002: Otto Laport Lecture: A Fascination with Fluids: Vortices and Vortex Breakdown. Invited Speaker: The problem of the dynamics of long slender vortices, e.g., tornadoes, dust devils, waterspouts, fire whirls, internal flow in rotating machinery, leading edge and trailing vortices on lifting surfaces, etc, has been a fascination for me for close to 50 years. A sequence of experimental studies will be presented, together with reasoned physical explanations and related theoretical arguments, that attempt to bring some order to the sometimes-controversial discussion that has swirled about the subject during that time.

B27.00003: Stanley Corrsin Award Talk: Big and small swirls in the maze: Modeling turbulence in Large Eddy Simulations Invited Speaker: Charles Meneveau The existence of strongly coupled motions at many length and time scales is one of the most challenging aspects of turbulent flows. We describe this challenge in the specific context of Large Eddy Simulations and subgrid-scale modeling. Some examples of progress achieved through scale-aware self-consistency conditions, of which the dynamic model is a well-known example, will be presented. Laboratory and field data that have been used to illuminate various aspects of the problem will also be discussed. [Preview Abstract] |
