Turbulent wakes of fractal objects.

چکیده
Turbulence of a windtunnel flow is stirred using objects that have a fractal structure. The strong turbulent wakes resulting from three such objects which have different fractal dimensions are probed using multiprobe hot-wire anemometry in various configurations. Statistical turbulent quantities are studied within inertial and dissipative range scales in an attempt to relate changes in their self-similar behavior to the scaling of the fractal objects.

Visibility of Turbulent Ship Wakes in Dual- Polarized RADARSAT-2 Imagery
--The observations of ship wakes in RADARSAT-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar fine beam mode images are described. Wakes were observed in about 50 percent of cases where ship detection was accompanied by an Automatic Identification of Ships (AIS) report. These were mostly turbulent wakes. The goal of the research was to understand the physical mechanisms and the factors involved in the visibility of ...
متن کاملFractal space-scale unfolding mechanism for energy-efficient turbulent mixing.
Using top-end high fidelity computer simulations we demonstrate the existence of a mechanism present in turbulent flows generated by multiscale or fractal objects and which has its origin in the multiscale or fractal space-scale structure of such turbulent flow generators. As a result of this space-scale unfolding mechanism, fractal grids can enhance scalar transfer and turbulent diffusion by o...
متن کاملA comparative study of self-propelled and towed wakes in a stratified fluid
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of axisymmetric wakes with canonical towed and self-propelled velocity profiles are performed at Re=50 000 on a grid with approximately 2 billion grid points. The present study focuses on a comparison between towed and self-propelled wakes and on the elucidation of buoyancy effects. The development of the wake is characterized by the evolution of maxima, area ...
متن کاملNumerical Model of Far Turbulent Wake Behind Towed Body in Linearly Stratified Media
A flow that arises in a turbulent wake behind a body that moves in a stratified fluid is rather peculiar. With a relatively weak stratification a turbulent wake first develops essentially in the same way as in a homogeneous fluid and extends symmetrically. However, buoyancy forces oppose vertical turbulent diffusion. Therefore a wake has flattened form at large distances from the body and, fina...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium scaling laws in axisymmetric turbulent wakes
We present a combined Direct Numerical Simulation and Hot Wire Anemometry study of an axisymmetric turbulent wake. The data lead to a revised theory of axisymmetric turbulent wakes which relies on the mean streamwise momentum and turbulent kinetic energy equations, self-similarity of the mean flow, turbulent kinetic energy, Reynolds shear stress and turbulent dissipation profiles, non-equilibri...
