A low-dimensional model for turbulent shear flows
We analyse a low-dimensional model for turbulent shear flows. The model is based on Fourier modes and describes sinusoidal shear flow, in which the fluid between two free-slip walls experiences a sinusoidal body force. The model contains a total of nine modes, including modes describing the basic mean velocity profile and its modification, downstream vortices, streaks, and instabilities of stre...
متن کاملCirculation Statistics in Three-Dimensional Turbulent Flows
We study the large λ limit of the loop-dependent characteristic functional Z(λ) =< exp(iλ ∮ c ~v ·d~x) >, related to the probability density function (PDF) of the circulation around a closed contour c. The analysis is carried out in the framework of the Martin-Siggia-Rose field theory formulation of the turbulence problem, by means of the saddle-point technique. Axisymmetric instantons, labelle...
متن کاملOverview of turbulent shear flows
A brief review of basic concepts and folklore in shear turbulence. 1 Reynolds decomposition Experimental measurements show that turbulent flows can be decomposed into welldefined averages plus fluctuations, v = v̄ + v′. This is nicely illustrated in the Turbulence film available online at http://web.mit.edu/hml/ncfmf.html that was already mentioned in Lecture 1. In experiments, the average v̄ is ...
متن کاملEstimates for the Energy Cascade in Three-dimensional Turbulent Flows
The phenomenological theory of turbulence in three dimensions postulates that at large Reynolds numbers there exists an interval of wavenumbers within which the direct effects of the molecular viscosity are negligible. Within that interval, the so-called inertial range, an eddy characterized by a wavenumber given in that range decays principally by breaking down into smaller ones, with each of ...
متن کاملDynamical origins for non-Gaussian vorticity distributions in turbulent flows.
We present results on the connection between the vorticity equation and the shape and evolution of the single-point vorticity probability density function. The statistical framework for these observations is based on the classical hierarchy of evolution equations for the probability density functions by Lundgren, Novikov, and Monin combined with conditional averaging of the unclosed terms. The ...
