ABSTRACT
Low frequency dynamics of shock–turbulence interactions in constant area pipe flow with centre-line Mach number of 1.7 and friction Reynolds number of 245 is analysed using dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) of well-resolved large eddy simulation (LES) data. Two flow cases – one with a shock train and the other without shocks – are analysed. The dominant DMD modes show the near-wall sweep-ejection activity especially for the flow without shocks and also show the influence of the shocks on the near-wall organisation of the flow. The DMD modes also demonstrate a reasonable correlation between the near-wall coherent structures and the shock train for some of the modes.
