Turbulent pipe flow of shear-thinning fluids
Direct numerical simulation of the weakly turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids is undertaken for two different generalised Newtonian rheology models using a spectral element-Fourier method. Results for a power law (shear-thinning) rheology agree well with experimentally determined logarithmic layer correlations and with other previously published experimental work. As the flow index becomes s...
متن کاملRegions of Uniform Streamwise Momentum in Turbulent Boundary Layers
This study investigates the presence of zones of uniform streamwise momentum (or UMZs) across a range of Reynolds numbers in turbulent boundary layers, spanning more than an order of magnitude (Reτ ≈ 10 3 − 10). A rigorous examination of the identification criteria suggested by Adrian et al. [1] is presented, and then employed to show that a zonal-like structure is prevalent in all datasets exa...

متن کاملSome characteristics of thin shear layers in homogeneous turbulent flow.
Tomographic particle image velocimetry measurements of homogeneous isotropic turbulence that have been made in a large mixing tank facility at Cambridge are analysed in order to characterize thin highly sheared regions that have been observed. The results indicate that such regions coincide with regions of high enstrophy, dissipation and stretching. Large velocity jumps are observed across the ...
متن کاملOn the existence of uniform momentum zones in a turbulent boundary layer
Instantaneous velocity fields in the x-y plane of a zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer are measured using particle image velocimetry. It is found that there exist random, time-varying zones in the U-V fields in which the streamwise momentum is remarkably uniform. The largest dimension of a typical zone is proportional to the boundary layer thickness. The zone closest to the wall co...
