We present a simple model for the solar differential rotation and meridional circulation based on a mean field parameterization of the Reynolds stresses that drive the differential rotation. We include the subadiabatic part of the tachocline and show that this, in conjunction with turbulent heat conductivity within the convection zone and overshoot region, provides the key physics to break the ...

Deep learning (DL)-based Reynolds stress with its capability to leverage values of large data can be used to close Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stoke (RANS) equations. Type I and Type II machine learning (ML) frameworks are studied to investigate data and flow feature requirements while training DL-based Reynolds stress. The paper presents a method, flow features coverage mapping (FFCM), to quantif...

Simultaneous velocity field and optical distortions along the wall-normal direction were performed in a subsonic boundary layer. Comparison between wavefronts and the ones predicted using instantaneous Strong Reynolds Analogy had shown that instantaneous SRA is valid most of the time. Conditional velocity analysis had shown that positive OPD distortions are created by predominantly ejection-typ...

The scaling of different features streamwise normal stress profiles $\langle uu\rangle ^+(y^+)$ in turbulent wall-bounded flows is the subject a long-running debate. Particular points contention are ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ peaks ^+$ at $y^+\approxeq ~15$ $y^+ ={O}(10^3)$ , respectively, their infinite Reynolds number limit, rate logarithmic decay outer part flow. Inspired by thought-provoking paper...

A Galilean invariant weak-equilibrium hypothesis that is sensitive to streamline curvature is proposed. The hypothesis leads to an algebraic Reynolds stress model for curved ows that is fully explicit and self-consistent. The model is tested in curved homogeneous shear ow: the agreement is excellent with Reynolds stress closure model and adequate with available experimental data. This research ...

The flow patterns emerging at a catheter migrating close to the simulated superior vena cava (SVC) wall has been investigated for jet to cross stream velocity ratios of 3 and 6 experimentally. As the catheter moves close to the SVC wall, changes in the jet behavior can potentially cause health problems to the patient. In this study, time-averaged velocity, vorticity, and Reynolds stress correla...

A new wall model for LES is proposed. Unlike conventional zonal approaches, given Reynolds stresses are not imposed as the solution, but used as constraints on the SGS stress so that the given Reynolds stress closely matches the computed one only in the mean sense. Also, since LES in general outperforms RANS even at coarse resolution except very near the wall, RANS constraints are limited to th...
