Large-scale gyrokinetic turbulence simulations: Effects of profile variation*
Two common computational domains used in gyrokinetic turbulence simulations are a local flux-tube and a global whole plasma volume. The effect of a radially varying pressure gradient is found to explain some of the qualitative differences between these two models. It is shown that a coherent purely radial mode is the result of profile variation. In addition, as profile variation is increased, t...

متن کاملInvestigation of Large-scale Structures in Wall Turbulence
In this paper an experimental and theoretical investigation is presented on the role of large-scale coherent structures in the zeropressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer. Attention is given to the proposal by Adrian, Meinhart & Tomkins (2000) that hairpin vortices are organized into spatially correlated packets or trains of vortices which extend over many boundary layer thicknesses in the s...

متن کاملLarge-scale secondary structures in duct flow
The spatial growth of small perturbations developing on a fully developed base flow in a duct with two inhomogeneous cross-flow directions is examined. For a laminar mean flow it is shown that optimally configured vortices at an upstream cross-section induce large transient amplification of a disturbance energy norm downstream. Such a linear growth is a likely initial stage of transition in duc...
