Roughness-induced critical phenomena in a turbulent flow.
I present empirical evidence that turbulent flows are closely analogous to critical phenomena, from a reanalysis of friction factor measurements in rough pipes. The data collapse found here corresponds to Widom scaling near critical points, and implies that a full understanding of turbulence requires explicit accounting for boundary roughness.
متن کاملTurbulent flow over a long flat plate with uniform roughness
For turbulent boundary-layer flow under a uniform freestream speed U∞ over a plate of length L, covered with uniform roughness of nominal sand-grain scale ks , the physical behaviors underlying two distinguished limits at large ReL ≡ U∞L/ν are explored: the fully rough wall flow where ks/L is fixed and the long-plate limit where Rek ≡ U∞ks/ν is fixed. For the fully rough limit it is shown that ...
متن کاملEffects of Roughness on Turbulent Flow in Microchannels and Minichannels
The effect of roughness ranging from smooth to 24% relative roughness on laminar flow has been examined in previous works by the authors. It was shown that using a constricted parameter, εFP, the laminar results were predicted well in the roughened channels ([1],[2],[3]). For the turbulent regime, Kandlikar et al. [1] proposed a modified Moody diagram by using the same set of constricted parame...
متن کاملEffects of very-large roughness in turbulent channel flow
The streamwise velocity statistics in fully-developed rough-wall channel flow have been investigated over gritand mesh-type surface topologies. The flow was demonstrated to be fully-developed and two-dimensional up to the fourth moment of velocity. Though the flow over both surface types appear to exhibit a limited logarithmic region, the regions of inner and outer scaling over the mesh surface...
