Extended Self Similarity in Numerical Simulations of 3d Anisotropic Turbulence
Using a code based on the Lattice Boltzmann Equation, we have performed numerical simulations of a turbulent shear flow. We investigate the scaling behaviour of the structure functions in presence of anisotropic homogeneous turbulence, and we show that although Extended Self Similarity does not hold when strong shear effects are present, a more generalized scaling law can still be defined. PACS...
متن کاملSelf-Similarity in Turbulence
Recent experimental discovery of extended self-similarity (ESS) was one of the most interesting developments, enabling precise determination of the scaling exponents of fully developed turbulence. Here we show that the ESS is consistent with the Navier-Stokes equations, provided the pressure -gradient contributions are expressed in terms of velocity differences in the mean field approximation (...
متن کاملAnomalous self-similarity in two-dimensional turbulence
Our velocity measurements on a quasi-two-dimensional turbulent flow in a rapidly rotating annulus yield an inverse cascade with E(k) ∼ k−2 rather than the expected E(k) ∼ k−5/3. The probability distribution functions for longitudinal velocity differences, δv(r) = v(x + r) − v(x), are self-similar (scale independent) but strongly non-Gaussian, which suggests that the coherent vortices play a sig...
متن کاملFree Decay of Turbulence and Breakdown of Self-Similarity
It has been generally assumed, since the work of von Karman and Howarth in 1938, that free decay of fully-developed turbulence is self-similar. We present here a simple phenomenological model of the decay of 3D incompressible turbulence, which predicts breakdown of self-similarity for low-wavenumber spectral exponents n in the range nc < n < 4, where nc is some threshold wavenumber. Calculation...
متن کاملSelf-similarity of Mean Flow in Pipe Turbulence
Based on our previous modi…ed log-wake law in turbulent pipe ‡ows, we invent two compound similarity numbers (Y; U), where Y is a combination of the inner variable y + and outer variable , and U is the pure e¤ect of the wall. The two similarity numbers can well collapse mean velocity pro…le data with di¤erent moderate and large Reynolds numbers into a single universal pro…le. We then propose an...
