Abstract
The objective of this study is to explore the higher-order turbulence statistics of flow and turbulent length scales around a complex pier (CP) and compare the results with that of a simple pier (SP). The velocity data were recorded in a laboratory flume using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The PIV data were analyzed to estimate the velocity fluctuations of third-order, turbulence production, and dissipation rates, turbulent length scales and the contributions of burst-sweep events to the total Reynolds shear stress around the piers mounted on a rigid flat surface. The skewness and advection coefficients indicate a more asymmetric distribution of velocity fluctuations for SP than that of CP. The ejection and sweep events illustrate the dominance of similar strengths for an extended period, downstream of the piers. The upstream TKE production was similar for both the piers, while the upstream dissipation rate is higher for CP than SP. The length scales show greater values at the upstream and lower values at the downstream of SP than CP. The findings show the importance of the pile-cap in restricting the downward moving flow by showing a lower magnitude of scour-causing turbulence parameters for CP than SP.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
