On the logarithmic region in wall turbulence
Considerable discussion over the past few years has been devoted to the question of whether the logarithmic region in wall turbulence is indeed universal. Here, we analyse recent experimental data in the Reynolds number range of nominally 2 × 104 < Reτ < 6 × 105 for boundary layers, pipe flow and the atmospheric surface layer, and show that, within experimental uncertainty, the data support the...
متن کاملThe logarithmic region of wall turbulence: Universality, structure and interactions
The logarithmic region, also referred to as the inertial subrange in physical space, or the turbulent wall region, is arguably the most important region of wall-bounded turbulent flows due to the multi-scale processes that take place. In this paper we review recent studies that report on the universality of this region in terms of the scaling laws for the mean velocities and turbulence intensit...
متن کاملThe near wall mixing length formulation revisited
The calculation of transport phenomena in boundary layers, pipe or duct ̄ows can be easily accomplished by a simple, zero order, mixing length formulation. The application of this model in simple engineering ̄ows, i.e., ̄ows without recirculation or asymmetry, is still widely extended because of its simplicity and its ability to match experimental results at the same degree than more elaborated mo...
متن کاملComments on Eddies, Mixing and the Large-Scale Ocean Circulation
Some recent laboratory and numerical studies of idealized ocean gyres and circumpolar currents are reviewed in the context of what they might tell us about the relative role of eddy transfer and mixing in setting the structure of the large-scale ocean circulation.
متن کاملLength scales of turbulence in stably stratified mixing layers
Turbulence resulting from Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in layers of localized stratification and shear is studied by means of direct numerical simulation. Our objective is to present a comprehensive description of the turbulence evolution in terms of simple, conceptual pictures of shear–buoyancy interaction that have been developed previously based on assumptions of spatially uniform stratifica...
