| contents | The mean resolvent operator predicts, in the frequency domain, the mean linear response to forcing. As such, it provides the optimal linear time-invariant approximation of the input-output dynamics of time-varying flows in the statistically steady regime (Leclercq & Sipp 2023). In this paper, we introduce an adjoint-free projection-based method for mean resolvent analysis of periodic flows. To evaluate the convergence of the projection-based method against the subspace dimension, we also implement an adjoint-based approach based on the harmonic resolvent framework (Wereley & Hall 1990, 1991; Padovan et al. 2020). Both adjoint-free and adjoint-based approaches may also be implemented in a matrix-free paradigm, using a time-stepper. For a weakly unsteady base flow, the mean-flow resolvent qualitatively approximates the dominant receptivity peak of the mean resolvent but completely fails to capture a secondary receptivity peak. For a strongly unsteady base flow, even the dominant receptivity peak of the mean resolvent associated with vortex-pairing is incorrectly captured by the mean-flow resolvent. The projection method already converges for a subspace dimension of 10 in the weakly unsteady case, but requires at least 100 modes for quantitative predictions in the strongly unsteady case. However, even in this case, using a subspace dimension of 1 is already enough to correctly identify the dominant receptivity peak. |
