Summary: A three-dimensional incompressible annular jet was simulated using the large eddy simulation (LES) method at a Reynolds number Re = 8 500. The study focused on the flow dynamics of the wake flow, with particular attention to the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) analysis of the velocity fluctuation vectors. The results showed that the first four eigenmodes captured significant turbulent kinetic energy, impacting the wake dynamics, with modes 1 and 2 related to a radial shift of the stagnation point, and modes 3 and 4 involving stretching or squeezing effects in the radial direction of the recirculation region.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of coherent vortices on turbulence structure above and below a dense plant canopy. Turbulence measurements collected at different levels within a coniferous forest on an Alpine Plateau were analyzed. The results show that the dominant time scale of momentum flux is mainly determined by the longitudinal wind velocity component under near-neutral conditions. In free convection and very stable conditions, the momentum transport is not influenced by coherent vortices generated at the canopy top.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of stability on the vertical structure of turbulent flow above and within the Amazon Forest, revealing that coherent structures are generated by hydrodynamical instabilities triggered by an inflection in the mean wind speed profile. The analysis also shows the dependence of separation length scale on shear length scale, with different behaviors in different stability regimes. The vertical time scale and separation length scale exhibit variations with stability, with maximum values under slightly unstable conditions.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of compressibility on the statistics and coherent structures of a temporally developing mixing layer through numerical simulations. The results show that as the convective Mach number increases, the streamwise dissipation becomes more effective in suppressing turbulent kinetic energy. At low convective Mach numbers, the mixing layer is accompanied by spanwise Kelvin-Helmholtz rollers, while at higher convective Mach numbers, large-scale high- and low-speed structures dominate. The study also reveals a correlation between high-shearing motions on top of low-speed structures and the clustering of small-scale vortical structures.

Summary: This study investigates the coherent structures of turbulent swirling flow within the multi-inlet vortex reactor, revealing elliptical shapes of velocity and concentration fluctuations with positive correlations near basepoints and surrounded by negatively correlated regions. Linear stochastic estimation shows obliquely oriented counter-rotating vortical structures that depend on local concentration gradient.

Summary: Turbulent mixing plays a key role in subaqueous gravity current dynamics. This study investigates the evolution of turbulent mixing along a gravity current, finding that vertical turbulent mixing is mainly caused by large-scale structures and smaller scale turbulence helps homogenize the density field. The study also shows that the head of the gravity current contributes significantly to the total turbulent transport flux, and the local vertical density transport decreases exponentially with distance from the head.

Summary: This study introduces a time-domain BBSAN model based on the vector Green's function solution, utilizing LES databases and Proper orthogonal decomposition to analyze shock-associated noise in off-design supersonic jets. By analyzing the predominant POD modes and noise source contour plots, the key features of BBSAN are revealed.

Summary: The study found that the dominant-mode selection criterion based on mode amplitude is more suitable for turbulent mixing layer flow, while the standard dynamic mode decomposition method can accurately reconstruct and predict the region before instability happens.

Summary: This study uses continuous high-frequency potential temperature profiles observed with distributed temperature sensing (DTS) to investigate the effect of background stratification, height, and canopy characteristics on the length scales and effective mixing lengths of eddies in stably stratified roughness sublayer flows. The findings have practical applications in analyzing similar DTS data sets, modeling roughness sublayer flows, and interpreting eddy covariance measurements above tall forested canopies.

Summary: A better understanding of the mixing behavior of excited turbulent mixing layers is crucial for aerospace applications. This study focuses on the mixing effects of low and high frequency excitation in turbulent mixing layers. Two different vortex pairing mechanisms are observed depending on the phase shift between the two excitation frequencies. The influence of these mechanisms on mixing a passive scalar is studied, and the results show that a phase shift of D/1/4 p yields the best mixing performance.

Summary: Numerous studies have found that mesoscale eddies play a significant role in diapycnal mixing and global water circulation. This study estimated the turbulent dissipation rate using strain information from Argo floats trapped in eddies and analyzed the relationship between eddy features and turbulent dissipation rates. The findings suggest that anticyclonic eddies generally have larger turbulent dissipation rates than cyclonic eddies, and the vertical extent of eddies is related to the dissipation rate.

Summary: This study quantified the vertical turbulent fluxes of nitrate and assessed its role in modulating new production inside cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies. The results showed that although the turbulent nitrate flux was higher in cyclonic eddies, it contributed less to new production compared to anticyclonic eddies. Differences in turbulent diffusivity and nitrate gradients influenced the distribution pattern of fluxes in the eddies.

Summary: The study found that intermittency is stronger in the mixing layer region compared to quasi-homogeneous isotropic turbulent regions, with scaling exponents deviating significantly from Kolmogorov's self-similarity hypothesis due to strong, intermittent fluctuations. Additionally, the total intermittent energy ratio in the mixing layer region varies depending on the turbulent flows.

Summary: In a turbulent boundary layer, a scalar emanating from a point source does not mix homogeneously, but is organized in large regions with little variation of concentration, known as uniform concentration zones. By measuring scalar concentration and the three-dimensional velocity field, researchers have identified these zones and found correlations with the rate of fluid parcel separation and strong shear in the velocity field. The study also compared methods to monitor the flow field history and found significant correlations with the edges of uniform concentration zones.

Summary: Extreme precipitation events in Norway are often linked to atmospheric rivers, with the coastal regions experiencing the highest association with AR. During AR events, Norway sees stronger winds and a temperature increase at 850 hPa. Cyclones are commonly found near AR landfall points, with precipitation peaking ahead of the arrival of the atmospheric river.

Summary: The study proposes a framework for assimilating drone-based observations to estimate surface fluxes. Using a turbulence-resolving large eddy simulation as a forward model, the framework is able to infer uncertainty-aware surface flux estimates from sparse and noisy drone data. Experimental results demonstrate that an iterative ensemble smoother outperforms other assimilation schemes, and increasing flight times, using multiple drones, and narrowing the prior distributions of initial conditions can help reduce the posterior uncertainty.
