A streamwise constant model of turbulence in plane Couette flow
Streamwise and quasi-streamwise elongated structures have been shown to play a significant role in turbulent shear flows. We model the mean behaviour of fully turbulent plane Couette flow using a streamwise constant projection of the Navier– Stokes equations. This results in a two-dimensional three-velocity-component (2D/3C) model. We first use a steady-state version of the model to demonstrate...
متن کاملSelection of inertial modes in spherical Couette flow.
Spherical Couette flow involves fluid sheared between concentric coaxially rotating spheres. Its scientific relevance lies not only in the simplicity of the system but also in its applicability to astrophysical objects such as atmospheres, oceans, and planetary cores. One common behavior in all rotating flows, including spherical Couette flow, is the presence of inertial modes, which are linear...
متن کاملUnsteady free convection oscillatory couette flow through a variable porous medium with concentration profile
In this paper we have studied the effect of free convection on the heat transfer and flow through variable porous medium which is bounded by two vertical parallel porous plates. In this study it is assume that free stream velocity oscillates with time about a constant mean. Periodic temperature is considered in the moving plate. Effect of different parameters on mean flow velocity, Transient ve...
متن کاملBounds for the Threshold Amplitude for Plane Couette Flow
We prove nonlinear stability for finite amplitude perturbations of plane Couette flow. A bound of the solution of the resolvent equation in the unstable complex half-plane is used to estimate the solution of the full nonlinear problem. The result is a lower bound, including Reynolds number dependence, of the threshold amplitude below which all perturbations are stable. Our result is an improvem...
متن کاملA Robust Control Approach to Understanding Nonlinear Mechanisms in Shear Flow Turbulence
A robust control framework is used to investigate a streamwise constant projection of the Navier Stokes equations for plane Couette flow. Study of this streamwise constant model is motivated by both numerical and experimental observations that suggest the prevalence and importance of streamwise and quasi-streamwise elongated structures. Small-amplitude Gaussian noise forcing is applied to a two...
