Polymer stress tensor in turbulent shear flows.
The interaction of polymers with turbulent shear flows is examined. We focus on the structure of the elastic stress tensor, which is proportional to the polymer conformation tensor. We examine this object in turbulent flows of increasing complexity. First is isotropic turbulence, then anisotropic (but homogenous) shear turbulence, and finally wall bounded turbulence. The main result of this pap...
متن کاملTurbulent Shear Stress in Heterogeneous Sediment-laden Flows
Current knowledge of the mechanics of alluvial channels depends very largely on calculations of turbulent shear stresses; typical examples are the beginning of motion of sediment particles and sediment transport in alluvial channels. If shear stress can be well defined in clear-water flows, comparatively little is known about shear stresses in sediment-laden flows. Einstein and Chien (1955) pro...
متن کاملMEMS-based pressure and shear stress sensors for turbulent flows
From a fluid dynamics perspective, the introduction of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has considerably broadened the spectrum of workable experiments. A typical MEMS sensor is at least one order of magnitude smaller than traditional sensors used to measure instantaneous flow quantities such as pressure and velocity. The microsensors can resolve all relevant scales even in high-Reynolds-n...
متن کاملA Review of Reynolds Stress Models for Turbulent Shear Flows
A detailed review of recent developments in Reynolds stress modeling for incompressible turbulent shear ows is provided. The mathematical foundations of both two-equation models and full second-order closures are explored in depth. It is shown how these models can be systematically derived for two-dimensional mean turbulent ows that are close to equilibrium. A variety of examples are provided t...
متن کاملOverview of turbulent shear flows
A brief review of basic concepts and folklore in shear turbulence. 1 Reynolds decomposition Experimental measurements show that turbulent flows can be decomposed into welldefined averages plus fluctuations, v = v̄ + v′. This is nicely illustrated in the Turbulence film available online at http://web.mit.edu/hml/ncfmf.html that was already mentioned in Lecture 1. In experiments, the average v̄ is ...
