Global flow stability results for the flow around a sphere at Re = 300


Preliminary results, obtained with parallel, 3D global stability analysis for the flow around a sphere. The real part of one of the dominating eigenvectors is shown. Vx,Vy,Vz and averaged V values are depicted. Details of the procedure are described in Morzyński & Thiele, AIAA 2008-3865,  Finite Element Method for Global Stability Analysis of 3D Flows.

Further development of my CFD code (MF3) is targeting flow stability and control. The parallel unstructured FEM solver is science-oriented. It is penalty formulation based Navier-Stokes solver using quadratic tetrahedral elements.
