A critical-layer framework for turbulent pipe flow
A model-based description of the scaling and radial location of turbulent fluctuations in turbulent pipe flow is presented and used to illuminate the scaling behaviour of the very large scale motions. The model is derived by treating the nonlinearity in the perturbation equation (involving the Reynolds stress) as an unknown forcing, yielding a linear relationship between the velocity field resp...
متن کاملManipulating Flow Structures in Turbulent Pipe Flow
Two different tools, the non-empirical resolvent analysis and the data-based dynamic mode decomposition, are employed to assess the changes induced by transpiration in the dynamics of a turbulent pipe flow. The focus is on very large-scale motions. Both analyses permit the observation of streamwise waviness in the large flow structures and how the transpiration can inhibit fluctuation in locali...
متن کاملThe critical layer in pipe flow at high Reynolds number.
We report the computation of a family of travelling wave solutions of pipe flow up to Re=75000. As in all lower branch solutions, streaks and rolls feature prominently in these solutions. For large Re, these solutions develop a critical layer away from the wall. Although the solutions are linearly unstable, the two unstable eigenvalues approach 0 as Re-->infinity at rates given by Re-0.41 and R...
متن کاملTurbulent pipe flow at extreme Reynolds numbers.
Both the inherent intractability and complex beauty of turbulence reside in its large range of physical and temporal scales. This range of scales is captured by the Reynolds number, which in nature and in many engineering applications can be as large as 10(5)-10(6). Here, we report turbulence measurements over an unprecedented range of Reynolds numbers using a unique combination of a high-press...
متن کاملTurbulent 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...
