Distinct large-scale turbulent-laminar states in transitional pipe flow.
When fluid flows through a channel, pipe, or duct, there are two basic forms of motion: smooth laminar motion and complex turbulent motion. The discontinuous transition between these states is a fundamental problem that has been studied for more than 100 yr. What has received far less attention is the large-scale nature of the turbulent flows near transition once they are established. We have c...
متن کاملThe evolution of large scale motions in turbulent pipe flow
A dual-plane snapshot POD analysis of turbulent pipe flow at a Reynolds number of 104,000 is presented. The high-speed PIV data were simultaneously acquired in two planes, a crossstream plane (2D-3C) and a streamwise plane (2D-2C) on the pipe centerline. The cross-stream plane analysis revealed large structures with a spatio-temporal extent of 1-2R, where R is the pipe radius. The temporal evol...
متن کاملEdge states intermediate between laminar and turbulent dynamics in pipe flow.
We studied the dynamics near the boundary between laminar and turbulent dynamics in pipe flow. This boundary contains invariant dynamical states that are attracting when the dynamics is confined to the boundary. These states can be found by controlling a single quantity, in our case the energy content. The edge state is dominated by two downstream vortices and shows intrinsic chaotic dynamics. ...
متن کاملLongitudinal Dispersion Coefficients within Turbulent and Transitional Pipe Flow
The longitudinal dispersion coefficient is used to describe the change in characteristics of a solute cloud, as it travels along the longitudinal axis of a pipe. Taylor [1954] proposed a now classical expression to predict the longitudinal dispersion coefficient within turbulent pipe flow. However, experimental work has shown significant deviation from his prediction for Re < 20000. This paper ...
متن کاملLaminar-Turbulent Patterning in Transitional Flows
Wall-bounded flows experience a transition to turbulence characterized by the coexistence of laminar and turbulent domains in some range of Reynolds number R, the natural control parameter. This transitional regime takes place between an upper threshold Rt above which turbulence is uniform (featureless) and a lower threshold Rg below which any form of turbulence decays, possibly at the end of o...
