text: Flows through pipes and channels are, in practice, almost always turbulent,
and the multiscale eddying motion is responsible for a major part of the encountered
friction losses and pumping costs1. Conversely, for pulsatile flows, in particular
for aortic blood flow, turbulence levels remain low despite relatively large peak
velocities. For aortic blood flow, high turbulence levels are intolerable as they
would damage the shear-sensitive endothelial cell layer2,3,4,5. Here we show that
turbulence in ordinary pipe flow is diminished if the flow is driven in a pulsatile
mode that incorporates all the key features of the cardiac waveform. At Reynolds
numbers comparable to those of aortic blood flow, turbulence is largely inhibited,
whereas at much higher speeds, the turbulent drag is reduced by more than 25%.
This specific operation mode is more efficient when compared with steady driving,
which is the present situation for virtually all fluid transport processes ranging
from heating circuits to water, gas and oil pipelines.

text: Standard epidemic models exhibit one continuous, second order phase transition
to macroscopic outbreaks. However, interventions to control outbreaks may fundamentally
alter epidemic dynamics. Here we reveal how such interventions modify the type
of phase transition. In particular, we uncover three distinct types of explosive
phase transitions for epidemic dynamics with capacity-limited interventions. Depending
on the capacity limit, interventions may (i) leave the standard second order phase
transition unchanged but exponentially suppress the probability of large outbreaks,
(ii) induce a first-order discontinuous transition to macroscopic outbreaks, or
(iii) cause a secondary explosive yet continuous third-order transition. These
insights highlight inherent limitations in predicting and containing epidemic
outbreaks. More generally our study offers a cornerstone example of a third-order
explosive phase transition in complex systems.

text: 'High impact epidemics constitute one of the largest threats humanity is facing
in the 21st century. In the absence of pharmaceutical interventions, physical
distancing together with testing, contact tracing and quarantining are crucial
in slowing down epidemic dynamics. Yet, here we show that if testing capacities
are limited, containment may fail dramatically because such combined countermeasures
drastically change the rules of the epidemic transition: Instead of continuous,
the response to countermeasures becomes discontinuous. Rather than following the
conventional exponential growth, the outbreak that is initially strongly suppressed
eventually accelerates and scales faster than exponential during an explosive
growth period. As a consequence, containment measures either suffice to stop the
outbreak at low total case numbers or fail catastrophically if marginally too
weak, thus implying large uncertainties in reliably estimating overall epidemic
dynamics, both during initial phases and during second wave scenarios.'

text: Many flows encountered in nature and applications are characterized by a chaotic
motion known as turbulence. Turbulent flows generate intense friction with pipe
walls and are responsible for considerable amounts of energy losses at world scale.
The nature of turbulent friction and techniques aimed at reducing it have been
subject of extensive research over the last century, but no definite answer has
been found yet. In this thesis we show that in pipes at moderate turbulent Reynolds
numbers friction is better described by the power law first introduced by Blasius
and not by the Prandtl–von Kármán formula. At higher Reynolds numbers, large scale
motions gradually become more important in the flow and can be related to the
change in scaling of friction. Next, we present a series of new techniques that
can relaminarize turbulence by suppressing a key mechanism that regenerates it
at walls, the lift–up effect. In addition, we investigate the process of turbulence
decay in several experiments and discuss the drag reduction potential. Finally,
we examine the behavior of friction under pulsating conditions inspired by the
human heart cycle and we show that under such circumstances turbulent friction
can be reduced to produce energy savings.

text: Following the recent observation that turbulent pipe flow can be relaminarised bya relatively simple modification of the mean velocity profile, we here carry out aquantitative experimental investigation of this phenomenon. Our study confirms thata flat velocity profile leads to a collapse of turbulence and in order to achieve theblunted profile shape, we employ a moving pipe segment that is briefly and rapidlyshifted in the streamwise direction. The relaminarisation threshold and the minimumshift length and speeds are determined as a function of Reynolds number. Althoughturbulence is still active after the acceleration phase, the modulated profile possessesa severely decreased lift-up potential as measured by transient growth. As shown,this results in an exponential decay of fluctuations and the flow relaminarises. Whilethis method can be easily applied at low to moderate flow speeds, the minimumstreamwise length over which the acceleration needs to act increases linearly with theReynolds number.

text: Based on a novel control scheme, where a steady modification of the streamwise
velocity profile leads to complete relaminarization of initially fully turbulent
pipe flow, we investigate the applicability and usefulness of custom-shaped honeycombs
for such control. The custom-shaped honeycombs are used as stationary flow management
devices which generate specific modifications of the streamwise velocity profile.
Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry and pressure drop measurements are used
to investigate and capture the development of the relaminarizing flow downstream
these devices. We compare the performance of straight (constant length across
the radius of the pipe) honeycombs with custom-shaped ones (variable length across
the radius) and try to determine the optimal shape for maximal relaminarization
at minimal pressure loss. The optimally modified streamwise velocity profile is
found to be M-shaped, and the maximum attainable Reynolds number for total relaminarization
is found to be of the order of 10,000. Consequently, the respective reduction
in skin friction downstream of the device is almost by a factor of 5. The break-even
point, where the additional pressure drop caused by the device is balanced by
the savings due to relaminarization and a net gain is obtained, corresponds to
a downstream stretch of distances as low as approximately 100 pipe diameters of
laminar flow.

text: Turbulence is the major cause of friction losses in transport processes and
it is responsible for a drastic drag increase in flows over bounding surfaces.
While much effort is invested into developing ways to control and reduce turbulence
intensities, so far no methods exist to altogether eliminate turbulence if velocities
are sufficiently large. We demonstrate for pipe flow that appropriate distortions
to the velocity profile lead to a complete collapse of turbulence and subsequently
friction losses are reduced by as much as 90%. Counterintuitively, the return
to laminar motion is accomplished by initially increasing turbulence intensities
or by transiently amplifying wall shear. Since neither the Reynolds number nor
the shear stresses decrease (the latter often increase), these measures are not
indicative of turbulence collapse. Instead, an amplification mechanism measuring
the interaction between eddies and the mean shear is found to set a threshold
below which turbulence is suppressed beyond recovery.

text: We show that a rather simple, steady modification of the streamwise velocity
profile in a pipe can lead to a complete collapse of turbulence and the flow fully
relaminarizes. Two different devices, a stationary obstacle (inset) and a device
which injects fluid through an annular gap close to the wall, are used to control
the flow. Both devices modify the streamwise velocity profile such that the flow
in the center of the pipe is decelerated and the flow in the near wall region
is accelerated. We present measurements with stereoscopic particle image velocimetry
to investigate and capture the development of the relaminarizing flow downstream
these devices and the specific circumstances responsible for relaminarization.
We find total relaminarization up to Reynolds numbers of 6000, where the skin
friction in the far downstream distance is reduced by a factor of 3.4 due to relaminarization.
In a smooth straight pipe the flow remains completely laminar downstream of the
control. Furthermore, we show that transient (temporary) relaminarization in a
spatially confined region right downstream the devices occurs also at much higher
Reynolds numbers, accompanied by a significant local skin friction drag reduction.
The underlying physical mechanism of relaminarization is attributed to a weakening
of the near-wall turbulence production cycle.
