Compressible effects on a temporal direct numerical simulation

Abstract
Direct numerical simulation of a temporal compressible mixing layer has been performed through the mixing layer transition at convective Mach number 0.4 with massively parallel computer. Finite volume method has been used to solve the full time-dependent, compressible Navier-Stokes equations without turbulence models. Numerical simulation initialized by the most amplified linear instability waves is then presented. 1923 mesh size is used to describe full scales. Roll-up and pairing process have developed and have been described, showing the highly two dimensional feature of the mixing layer. The influence of the phase between the two- and three-dimensional initially pertubated waves has been revealed.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
