Transport in turbulent, recurrent flows: Time-extrapolation and statistical symmetrization
Together with my former PhD student Sanaz, I studied bubble transport in a strongly turbulent double-jet configuration and a data-assisted strategy to predict the long-term bubble distribution in the domain. Despite of massive fluctuations of the velocity field that hid any larger-scale recurrences of the flow topology, our nearest-neighbor-based approach recurrence CFD produced results in surprisingly good agreement with detailed LES data.
