Resource Letter TF-1: Turbulence in Fluids
نویسنده
چکیده
This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on fully developed turbulence in fluids. It is restricted to mechanically driven turbulence in an incompressible fluid described by the Navier-Stokes equations of hydrodynamics, and places greatest emphasis on fundamental physical questions. Journal articles and books are cited for the following topics: The Navier-Stokes equations, qualitative aspects of turbulence, the 1941 Kolmogorov theory, intermittency and small scale structure, time correlations and pressure; with brief mention of two-dimensional turbulence, passive scalars in turbulence, and the turbulent boundary layer,

Numerical Predictions of Turbulent Mixed Convection Heat Transfer to Supercritical Fluids Using Various Low Reynolds Number k-e Turbulence Models
There are a number of systems in which supercritical cryogenic fluids are used as coolants or propellant fluids. In some modern military aircraft, the fuel is pressurized above its critical point and used as a coolant to remove heat from the aircraft engine. Accurate prediction of heat transfer coefficients to turbulent flows of supercritical fluids is essential in design of such systems. One o...
متن کاملTurbulence and turbulent mixing in natural fluids
Turbulence and turbulent mixing in natural fluids begin with big bang turbulence powered by spinning combustible combinations of Planck particles and Planck antiparticles. Particle prograde accretions on a spinning pair release 42% of the particle rest mass energy to produce more fuel for turbulent combustion. Negative viscous stresses and negative turbulence stresses work against gravity, extr...
متن کاملPossibility of Turbulence from a Post-Navier-Stokes Equation
Traditionally, any attempt to describe turbulent behavior in fluids starts with the Navier-Stokes equation (NSE) [1]. However, success has at best been mixed [2]. In this Letter, we explore the idea that NSE is not the unique approach to the study of turbulence, and that turbulence may be found in what we label as post-NavierStokes equations. What could modify NSE? In our opinion, the molecular...
متن کاملTurbulence cascades across equilibrium spectra.
Recent work has suggested that the spectrum of fully developed turbulence is determined by the equilibrium statistics of the Euler equations. The problem is to reconcile this fact with the irreversible aspects of turbulence. The purpose of this Letter is to show that a reconciliation is possible by producing simple systems whose spectrum can be deduced from an analysis at equilibrium, yet they ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Pseudo-Turbulence Flow Induced by Bubble Periodic Formation in Non-Newtonian Fluids
Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) has been employed to determine pseudo-turbulence characteristics of the flow field around bubble train forming in non-Newtonian caboxymethylcellulose (CMC) aqueous solution at low gas flow rate condition. The Reynolds stress and turbulent intensity of the liquid were investigated by means of Reynolds time-averaged method. The experimental results show that ax...
