Correlation of pressure fluctuations in turbulent wall layers

Wall-pressure Fluctuations and Pressure-velocity Correlations in Turbulent Boundary Layers

Zero crossings of velocity fluctuations in turbulent boundary layers

In this paper some results are presented on the statistical properties of zero crossings of turbulent velocity fluctuations in boundary layers over a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The earlier finding that the probability density function (pdf) of the intervals between successive zero crossings of the streamwise velocity fluctuation u can be approximated by two exponentials, ,* each with its o...

Constant adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers

Significant progress has been made towards understanding the large scale features of wall-bounded shear flow in zero pressure gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layers (TBL). Here we consider their effects in adverse pressure gradient (APG) flows where the pressure gradient parameter is held constant and Reynolds number is varied. This is done by documenting the changes in the mean velocity, str...

Wall Pressure Fluctuations and Flow Induced Noise in a Turbulent Boundary Layer over a Bump

Direct numerical simulations of a turbulent boundary layer over a bump were performed to examine the effects of surface longitudinal curvature on wall pressure fluctuations (pw) and flow induced noise. Turbulence statistics and frequency spectra were obtained to elucidate the response of wall pressure fluctuations to the longitudinal curvature and to the corresponding pressure gradient. Wall pr...
