Distributions of streamwise turbulent kinetic energy on a streamwise scale were investigated by continuous-wave transform, and scales were found where the portion of streamwise turbulent kinetic energy approaches maximum. Fluctuating velocities (instant velocity minus average velocity on time dimension) were divided into large-scale motion (LSM) and small-scale motion (SSM) portions, bounded by . Convection velocities of LSM and SSM are determined by the spatiotemporal correlation method, and they are larger than local average velocities in near-wall regions, but smaller than local average velocities in wake regions. Statistical characteristics between velocity fields reconstructed by Taylor’s hypothesis and original fields were compared by the autocorrelation method, and the reconstructed field’s patterns are longer than original field’s patterns, while their heights do not have clear distinction.

The developing initial velocity profiles at the nozzle exit are generated by three different lengths ( , 50 and 90) of the square nozzle . The velocity profiles at the nozzle exit are measured with the single probe hot-wire anemometer. The Reynolds number based on the bulk mean velocity and nozzle height is 25,000 for all the cases. The measured velocity profiles at the nozzle exit are used as the inlet conditions for the numerical simulations. The results show that the initial velocity profile affects the flow field of the wall jet in near and far-field regions. It is found that the contours of streamwise velocity and turbulent kinetic energy exhibit the effect of initial conditions in the near field. The Reynolds shear stress component dominates in the vertical jet centreline plane, and it increases with a decrease in the nozzle length. The Reynolds shear stress component dominates in the lateral plane, and also exhibit the dependency on initial conditions.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43182181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We establish the repeatability and reproducibility of the characterisation of a single axisymmetric jet. Additionally, we performed an LES of five round jets using the same discretisation schemes and boundary conditions. The five jets were placed in a cross or plus configuration, with a central jet surrounded by four outer jets. The mass flux, momentum flux and the Reynolds number of the five jet configuration were set to be equal to those of the single jet. Further, we analyse the near-field development of the multiple jets, along with entrainment and symmetry characteristics as the jet evolves. LES's ability to provide information about large-scale motions was used to compute conditional statistics. We, then, present details of an initial attempt to characterise the turbulent non-turbulent interface boundary and the coherent structures in the core of the jet in a unified manner using helicity density as the detector variable.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41548644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Horizontal shear and vertical shear are related to the angle between the shear and the vertical gradient of stratification; θ = π/2 and θ = 0, respectively. This study is performed for different values of Froude number Fr ranging from 0.35–1.11.

In this study, we confirm the cavitation phenomenon and observe its characteristics to predict the flow and control it accordingly. We perform a direct numerical simulation of the turbulent Couette flow of water with vortex cavitation using a cavitation model to predict phase change based on pressure distribution. In this simulation, we investigate the characteristics of the local interaction between turbulence vortices and cavitation and the global modulation of the turbulent flow, i.e. mean velocity and wall friction coefficient. We observe that a cavity is generated where a low-pressure region is created in the centre of the turbulence vortex; the growth of the cavity weakens the vortex and reduces the intensity of the turbulence. Further, the vortex becomes stronger as the cavity contracts; this phenomenon occurs repeatedly in a turbulent flow field with vortex cavitation. In a turbulent flow field with vortex cavitation, mechanical oscillations can occur spontaneously. In addition, we found that the turbulence vortex weakened by cavitation regenerates around the cavity. The unsteady phenomenon of the turbulence vortex cavitation repeatedly grows and decays monotonically; however, it does not necessarily repeat these spatially in the same manner. The spatial characteristics of the turbulence structure are different from those observed in single-phase turbulent flow.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43773089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transient flow patterns from the two simulations are found to be very different in consideration of the small-scale structures. The profiles of mean velocity, resolved turbulent kinetic energy and resolved Reynolds shear stress are found to be similar among all the simulations, indicating mean quantities are relatively insensitive to turbulence modelling and grid resolution. The power spectra density of the pressure fluctuations show that LES is more capable of resolving energies in high-frequency range than DDES. After computing the normalised wavenumber-frequency spectra of fluctuating pressure on the window, we further carried out the wavenumber-frequency decomposition to separate the acoustic and the hydrodynamic components from the pressure fluctuations. The energy distribution shows that the acoustic energy has a much slower decaying rate in the high-frequency range than the hydrodynamic energy. In addition, the space-averaged sound pressure levels of pressure fluctuations on the window indicate that the present simulation with a high-order method is able to improve the accuracy in predicting pressure spectra. Finally, we carry out proper orthogonal decomposition to extract the dominating features of the decomposed acoustic and hydrodynamic components of pressure fluctuation. Patterns of multi-scale turbulence in hydrodynamic modes and propagating wavefronts of cylinder shape in acoustic modes are identified. The present research indicates that a relatively coarse grid is still capable of resolving fluctuating quantities of energy-containing structures, and LES is suggested against DDES when near-wall aerodynamic noise is the main concern.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46137781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prediction equations are based on the inviscid estimate of the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation rate.

This new set of equations, when compared and validated against 17 sets (2 active grids, 2 multi-scale grids, 9 square-cross-sectioned grids and 4 circular cross-sectioned grids) of previous, well-accepted, experimental data, including those relating to grid-generated turbulence and covering a wide range of turbulent Reynolds number (ReLu 0) (7.5 × 101 to 6.9 × 104), where Lu 0 is the initial integral length scale, showed very good agreement (within ±15%).

Experiments were conducted in the non-uniform sand bed channel with circular piers of 75 mm diameter. The streamwise velocity and Reynolds Shear Stress was observed to be maximum near the edge at upstream and near the bed at downstream of pier. The strength of reversal flow diminished with downward seepage. The turbulent kinetic energy at upstream of pier found to be decreased with seepage. Decreased Strouhal number with seepage indicates the diminishing strength of wake vortices. The results present the estimation of the deviation measure from the isotropic turbulence in terms of Reynolds stress tensor for whole flow depth (within and above the scour hole zone) at the upstream and downstream sections of the pier. The streamwise profile of anisotropy tensor within the scour hole zone of the upstream section demonstrates a lesser anisotropic stream in the presence of seepage flow, while transverse and vertical components of anisotropy tensor provide the higher anisotropic stream. The results are quite the opposite in the case of the downstream section of the pier. The present study also analysed the anisotropic invariant maps in terms of Lumley triangle, Eigenvalues, and the invariant functions for the whole flow depth. The anisotropic invariant maps inclining to be two-component isotropy within the scour hole zone for both the section of the pier. With the increase in flow depth that is at the edge of scour hole, the data sets of anisotropic invariant maps show a trend of one-component isotropy, while it has an affinity to develop three-component isotropy near the free surface. Invariant function measurement presents better two-component isotropy within the scour hole zone and quasi-three component isotropy in the outer zone of scour hole for the upstream section of pier. The experimental results provide a qualitative understanding of the evolution of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor in the pier-affected alluvial channel.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45711250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
