Lifetime statistics in transitional pipe flow.
Several experimental and numerical studies have shown that turbulent motions in circular pipe flow near transitional Reynolds numbers may not persist forever, but may decay. We study the properties of these decaying states within direct numerical simulations for Reynolds numbers up to 2200 and in pipes with lengths equal to 5, 9, and 15 times the diameter. We show that the choice of the ensembl...

متن کاملDistinct 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 کاملRecurrence of Travelling Waves in Transitional Pipe Flow
The recent theoretical discovery of families of travelling wave solutions in pipe flow (Faisst & Eckhardt 2003; Wedin & Kerswell 2004; Hof et al. 2004) at Reynolds numbers lower than the transitional range naturally raises the question of their relevance to the turbulent transition process. Here a series of numerical experiments are conducted in which we look for the spatial signature of these ...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of coherent structures in transitional pipe flow.
Numerical and experimental studies of transitional pipe flow have shown the prevalence of coherent flow structures that are dominated by downstream vortices. They attract special attention because they contribute predominantly to the increase of the Reynolds stresses in turbulent flow. In the present study we introduce a convenient detector for these coherent states, calculate the fraction of t...
