Third-order statistics and the dynamics of strongly anisotropic turbulent flows

Anisotropy is induced by body forces and/or mean large-scale gradients in turbulent flows. For flows without energy production, the dynamics of second-order velocity or second-order vorticity statistics are essentially governed by triple correlations, which are at the origin of the anisotropy that penetrates towards the inertial range, deeply altering the cascade and the eventual dissipation process, with a series of consequences on the evolution of homogeneous turbulence statistics: in the case of rotating turbulence, the anisotropic spectral transfer slaves the multiscale anisotropic energy distribution; nonlinear dynamics are responsible for the linear growth in terms of Ωt of axial integral length-scales; third-order structure functions, derived from velocity triple correlations, exhibit a significant departure from the 4/5 Kolmogorov law. We describe all these implications in detail, starting from the dynamical equations of velocity statistics in Fourier space, which yield third-order correlations at three points (triads) and allow the explicit removal of pressure fluctuations. We first extend the formalism to anisotropic rotating turbulence with ‘production’, in the presence of mean velocity gradients in the rotating frame. Second, we compare the spectral approach at three points to the two-point approach directly performed in physical space, in which we consider the transport of the scalar second-order structure function ?(δq)²?. This calls into play componental third-order correlations ?(δq)²δu?(r) in axisymmetric turbulence. This permits to discuss inhomogeneous anisotropic effects from spatial decay, shear, or production, as in the central region of a rotating round jet. We show that the above-mentioned important statistical quantities can be estimated from experimental planar particle image velocimetry, and that explicit passage relations systematically exist between one- and two-point statistics in physical and spectral space for second-order tensors, but also sometimes for third-order tensors that are involved in the dynamics.     

Evolution of an asymmetric turbulent shear layer in a thermocline

Large eddy simulations are used to examine the evolution of a shear layer in a thermocline with non-uniform density stratification. Unlike previous studies, the density in the present study is continuously stratified and has stratification in the upper half different from the lower half of the shear layer. The stratification in the upper half is fixed at J_u = 0.05, while the stratification in the lower half is increased to J_d = 0.05, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.35, leading to a progressively stronger asymmetry of the Ri_g profile in the four cases. Here, J is the bulk Richardson number and Ri_g is the gradient Richardson number. The type of shear instability and the properties of the ensuing turbulence are found to depend strongly on the degree of asymmetry in stratification. The shear instability changes from a Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) mode at J_d = 0.05 to a Holmboe (H) mode at J_d = 0.35 and exhibits characteristics of both KH and H modes at intermediate values of J_d. Differences in the evolution among the cases are quantified using density visualisations and statistics such as mean shear, mean stratification and turbulent kinetic energy.     

LES of spatially developing turbulent boundary layer over a concave surface

We revisit the problem of a spatially developing turbulent boundary layer over a concave surface. Unlike previous investigations, we simulate the combined effects of streamline curvature as well as curvature-induced pressure gradients on the turbulence. Our focus is on investigating the response of the turbulent boundary layer to the sudden onset of curvature and the destabilising influence of concave surface in the presence of pressure gradients. This is of interest for evaluating the turbulence closure models. At the beginning of the curve, the momentum thickness Reynolds number is 1520 and the ratio of the boundary layer thickness to the radius of curvature is δ₀/R = 0.055. The radial profiles of the mean velocity and turbulence statistics at different locations along the concave surface are presented. Our recently proposed curvature-corrected Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model is assessed in an a posteriori sense and the improvements obtained over the base model are reported. From the large Eddy simulation (LES) results, it was found that the maximum influence of concave curvature is on the wall-normal component of the Reynolds stress. The budgets of wall-normal Reynolds stress also confirmed this observation. At the onset of curvature, the effect of adverse pressure gradient is found to be predominant. This decreases the skin friction levels below that in the flat section.     

Density and velocity statistics in variable density turbulent mixing

We experimentally study variable–density mixing of miscible gases in an open-circuit wind tunnel using simultaneous particle image velocimetry and planar laser-induced fluorescence. Experiments of a high Atwood number (0.6) and low Atwood number (0.1) are performed to compare non-Boussinesq cases with the Boussinesq limit. The higher density gas is injected into the wind tunnel co-flow using a round jet configuration, and near-field and far-field measurements are performed to examine mixing in both momentum and buoyancy-dominated regimes. The effects of buoyancy are measurable and important in both large-scale mixing features and in turbulence quantities. The low Atwood number PDFs (probability density functions) show fast and uniform mixing. The high Atwood number PDFs of density have skewness towards the larger densities, indicating less mixing of the heavy fluid due to its inertia. The skewness in the density gradient PDFs at high Atwood number displays strong density local variations that can enhance mixing at molecular scales. Turbulent kinetic energy decreases with streamwise distance from the jet for low Atwood number but increases for high Atwood number due to larger buoyancy and density-driven shear. Over 3000 experimental realisations are used to calculate statistical characteristics of the mixing, including valuable and rarely given data such as Favre-averaged turbulent quantities: mass flux velocity, Reynolds stress, turbulent kinetic energy, and density-specific volume correlation. Buoyancy effects are observed in these quantities and the trends are compared qualitatively with direct numerical simulations.

部分相干平顶光束在非Kolmogorov湍流中的湍流距离

给出了部分相干平顶光束通过非Kolmogorov湍流传输的湍流距离解析表达式,并研究了非Kolmogorov湍流的湍流广义指数、内尺度、外尺度和光束参数对部分相干平顶光束湍流距离的影响。研究表明:湍流距离随相干参数、束腰、外尺度(当湍流广义指数的取值为3.6~4.0时)的增大而减小;随光束阶数、内尺度的增大而增大;随湍流广义指数先减小后增大,且在湍流广义指数取3.11时存在极小值,即光束扩展的极大值。同时利用湍流广义指数及光束参数,具体比较了湍流距离与瑞利区间的大小,并指出光束参数及湍流广义指数决定了湍流是否在瑞利区间内就能对光束扩展构成明显的影响。     

存在滑移时两圆球间的幂律流体挤压流动

基于Reynolds润滑理论分析了壁面滑移对任意圆球颗粒间幂律流体的挤压流动的影响。研究表明有壁面滑移时挤压流动的粘性力可通过引进本文定义的滑移修正系数分离出无滑移解。推导出的挤压力滑移修正系数是一积分表达式，依赖于滑移参数、幂律指数、球间隙和积分上限。一般地壁面滑移导致粘性力减小，粘性力的减小量随幂律指数的增大而增大，表明壁面滑移对剪切增稠流变材料有更大的影响；粘性力的减小量还随着滑移参数的增大而增加，而这恰与假设相符合；粘性力的减小量又随球间隙减小或积分上限的增大（从液桥情况到完全浸渍）而减小直到趋于常数，这一特性在离散元模拟时可以有效地减少计算量。
