Perret, Cédric Rivet","doi":"10.1615/tsfp8.1850","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1615/tsfp8.1850","url":null,"abstract":"The dynamics of the turbulent boundary layer developing over a cube array is analysed using stereoscopic PIV measurements performed in an atmospheric wind tunnel. The longitudinal component u of the velocity is analysed via the snapshot POD. It is first demonstrated that the first POD mode of u corresponds to large-scale elongated coherent structures of lowor high-speed which are non-negligible contributors to the shear-stress and the turbulent kinetic energy. Their relationship with the smaller scales of the flow is investigated via the computation of oneor two-point third order statistics and is shown to be of non-linear nature. INTRODUCTION During the past few years, very-large-scale motions (VLSMs) in turbulent boundary layers over smooth-walls have received renewed attention from the research community. Both numerical and experimental studies have highlighted their influence on the near-wall turbulence and their contribution to the kinetic energy and Reynolds shear-stress in different type of wall-bounded flows such as pipe flows (Monty et al., 2007), channel flows (del Alamo & Jimenez, 2003), laboratory boundary layers (Marusic & Hutchins, 2008) and atmospheric boundary layers (Guala et al., 2011). Common features of the VLSMs found in wall-bounded flows are that they consist in elongated lowand high-speed regions (Hutchins & Marusic, 2007), the length of which scales with outer-length variable (δ ) and can reach several times δ (Guala et al., 2011), they populate the log and outer layer, they are animated by a meandering motion in the horizontal plane (Hutchins & Marusic, 2007) and interact with near-wall turbulence through an amplitudemodulation mechanism (Mathis et al., 2009). The finding of this last characteristics relies on the clear spectral separation between large-scale motions and the near-wall turbulence found in high Reynolds number flows (Guala et al., 2011; Mathis et al., 2009). At the same time, attention has been devoted to the structure of boundary layer flows developing over rough walls, at laboratory scales (see Jimenez 2004 for a review) or in the framework of atmospheric flows over urban or vegetation canopies (Finnigan et al., 2009; Inagaki & Kanda, 2010; Takimoto et al., 2011), demonstrating similarities between flows over smooth and rough wall. In particular, the presence of streaky patterns of lowand high-speed regions, of ejection and sweep motions associated to the hairpin model and the organization of hairpin vortices in packets have been evidenced. Recently, Inagaki & Kanda (2010) showed the presence in the atmospheric flow developing over an array of cubes of very-large-scale elongated lowspeed regions, with some sub-structures included in these streaks. These structures, educed by filtering in the spanwise direction the time-series from a spanwise array of 15 sonic anemometers, share some common features with the above mentionned VLSMs evidenced in smooth wall flows and support the observations of Drobinski et","PeriodicalId":206337,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of Eighth International Symposium on Turbulence and Shear Flow Phenomena","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121119879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using top-end high fidelity computer simulations, we calculate and compare the effects of various fractal and regular grids on scalar transfer and turbulent diffusion efficiencies. We demonstrate the existence of a new mechanism present in turbulent flows generated by multiscale/fractal objects and which has its origin in the multiscale/fractal space-scale structure of such turbulent flow generators. As a result of this space-scale unfolding (SSU) mechanism, fractal grids can enhance scalar transfer and turbulent diffusion by one order of magnitude while at the same time reduce pressure drop by half. The presence of this SSU mechanism when turbulence is generated by fractal grids means that the spatial distribution of length-scales unfolds onto the streamwise extent of the flow and gives rise to a variety of wake-meeting distances downstream. This SSU mechanism must be playing a decisive role in environmental, atmospheric, ocean and river transport processes wherever turbulence originates from multiscale/fractal objects such as trees, forests, mountains, rocky river beds and coral reefs. It also ushers in the new concept of fractal design of turbulence which may hold the power of setting entirely new mixing and cooling industrial standards.","PeriodicalId":206337,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of Eighth International Symposium on Turbulence and Shear Flow Phenomena","volume":"29 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132277781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Soria","doi":"10.1615/tsfp8.2150","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1615/tsfp8.2150","url":null,"abstract":"The dynamics of elasto-inertial turbulence is investigated numerically from the perspective of the coupling between polymer dynamics and flow structures. In particular, direct numerical simulations of channel flow with Reynolds numbers ranging from 1000 to 6000 are used to study the formation and dynamics of elastic instabilities and their effects on the flow. Based on the splitting of the pressure into inertial and polymeric contributions, it is shown that the trains of cylindrical structures around sheets of high polymer extension that are characteristics to elasto-inertial turbulence are mostly driven by polymeric contributions. INTRODUCTION Polymer additives are known for producing upward of 80% drag reduction in turbulent wall-bounded flows through strong alteration and reduction of turbulent activity (White & Mungal, 2008). The changes in flow dynamics induced by polymers do not lead to flow relaminarization but, at most, to a universal asymptotic state called maximum drag reduction (MDR, Virk et al. 1970). At the same time, polymer additives have also been shown to promote transition to turbulence (Hoyt, 1977), or even lead to a chaotic flow at very low Reynolds number as in elastic turbulence (Groisman & Steinberg, 2000). These seemingly contradicting effects of polymer additives can be explained by the interaction between elastic instabilities and the flow’s inertia characterizing elastoinertial turbulence, hereafter referred to as EIT (Samanta et al., 2012; Dubief et al., 2013). EIT is a state of smallscale turbulence that exists by either creating its own extensional flow patterns or by exploiting extensional flow topologies. EIT provides answers to phenomena that current understanding of MDR cannot, such as the absence of log-law in finite-Reynolds numbers MDR flows (White et al., 2012), and the phenomenon of early turbulence. Moreover, it supports De Gennes (1990)’s picture that drag reduction derives from two-way energy transfers between turbulent kinetic energy of the flow and elastic energy of polymers at small scales, resulting in an overall modification of the turbulence energy cascade at high Reynolds numbers. As shown by the viscoelastic pipe experiment of Samanta et al. (2012), an elastic instability can occur at a Reynolds number smaller than the transition in Newtonian pipe flow if the polymer concentration and Weissenberg number are sufficiently large. Moreover, it was observed that the measured friction factor then follows the characteristic MDR friction law. These findings were also confirmed by direct numerical simulations as shown in Figure 1 (Dubief et al., 2013). The analysis of these simulations showed that thin sheets of locally high polymer stretch, tilted upwards and elongated in the flow direction, create trains of spanwise cylindrical structures of alternating sign, as shown in Figure 2. This feature of EIT disappears when the flow is too turbulent or the polymer solution not elastic enough, which led to the hy","PeriodicalId":206337,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of Eighth International Symposium on Turbulence and Shear Flow Phenomena","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126673168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
