Westerbeek, S.H.J. (author), Sumariva, Juan Alberto Franco (author), Michelis, Theodorus (author), Hein, Stefan (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)The Parabolized Stability Equations (PSE), Adaptive Harmonic Linearized Navier-Stokes (AHLNS) and Harmonic Navier-Stokes (HNS) solvers are used to analyze the linear and nonlinear stability of swept-wing boundary layers under the influence of smooth wall deformations of varying size and geometry. Special attention is given to the validity of the...conference paper 2023

Zoppini, G. (author), Sequeira, A.D. (author), Michelis, Theodorus (author), Ragni, D. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)The present work details the steady and unsteady flow topology in the vicinity of an array of periodically spaced super-critical (i.e. causing flow tripping) discrete roughness elements (DRE) applied in a swept wing boundary layer. The stationary flow field is acquired by means of high-magnification dual-pulse tomographic particle tracking...conference paper 2023

Della Pia, A. (author), Michelis, Theodorus (author), Chiatto, Matteo (author), Kotsonis, M. (author), de Luca, Luigi (author)The wake-mixing layer flow developing past a splitter plate separating two parallel gas and liquid co-flowing currents is experimentally investigated in this work. Time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV) measurements of the two-phase velocity field are simultaneously performed in gas and liquid streams, shedding light on both mean ...conference paper 2023

Zoppini, G. (author), Michelis, Theodorus (author), Ragni, D. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)This work presents the first reported experimental characterization of the flow field in the direct vicinity of discrete roughness elements (DRE), in a swept wing boundary layer. High magnification tomographic Particle Tracking Velocimetry (3D-PTV) measurements are used to acquire time-averaged velocity and standard deviation fields in a 3D...conference paper 2022

Michelis, Theodorus (author), Kotsonis, M. (author), Yarusevych, S. (author)The present study considers the development of a Laminar Separation Bubble on the suction side of a NACA0018 airfoil under natural and forced conditions. Deterministic forcing is applied by means of a two-dimensional plasma actuator installed on the airfoil surface. The spatiotemporal characteristics of the bubble are measured using time...conference paper 2017
