Feral horses and cattle create more resilient nature, rewilding study reveals
Protected natural areas across Europe are changing. Climate change, with rising temperatures and heavy rainfall, is turbocharging the growth of shrubs and trees, choking the flowers and insects that need the light and heat of open spaces. Traditionally, this scenario prompts nature managers to reach for chainsaws and brush cutters to keep the landscape open. But researchers at Aarhus University and the Natural History Museum, Aarhus, Denmark, can now show that horses and cattle represent a more…

Counterflow around a cylinder

https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22022 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22022 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22022
arXiv:2602.22022v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The incompressible flow around a circular cylinder, positioned at the center of an unconfined planar counterflow, is studied by means of numerical solutions of the conservation equations and linear stability analysis. The flow is completely defined by the Reynolds number ($\Rey$) -- based on the cylinder radius, the strain rate defining the counterflow, and the kinematic viscosity. For very low values of $\Rey$, the flow is steady, two-dimensional, and fully attached to the cylinder wall. Increasing $\Rey$ above $\Rey_s \approx 16.86$, the flow separates, giving rise to two symmetric, counter-rotating recirculation regions on each side of the cylinder. Further increasing $\Rey$ leads to a progressive enlargement of the recirculation regions and the appearance of multiple recirculation centers, akin to Moffatt eddies. However, the convective acceleration imposed by the counterflow limits their size. An oscillatory mode becomes linearly unstable for $\Rey_{c} \approx 4146$. This mode gives rise to a sinuous meandering of the wake flow, on each side of the cylinder, being analogous to the well-known von K\'arm\'an instability. The frequency of this mode is directly proportional to the strain rate defining the counterflow.
