Specifically, the conditions include the different velocities of crossflow and different intensities of suction, and the positions include upstream, mid-centre, and downstream. To give full information of the crossflow characteristics, the Holo-Hilbert spectral analysis (HHSA) method is used to analyse these velocity data. The results show that the components of frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM) can be found in the crossflow suffered from the suction. Furthermore, there exists an obvious difference between the crossflow with and without vanes. The crossflow without vanes has more components of FM modulation and AM modulation with high frequency. The increase of the velocity and velocity ratio both can influence the turbulent characteristics of crossflow, which presents high energy with a higher frequency of AM and FM. The crossflow at the upstream and the downstream has similar components presented in the AM–FM spectrum, while the crossflow at the mid-centre has more high-frequency components. In addition, the turbulent intensity at the mid-centre is inversely proportional to the distance from the suction.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41948231","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}

Sand and gravel of uniform sizes 0.25 and 3.5 mm were mixed in the same proportions (by weight) to create a bimodal sedimentary bed. A three-dimensional Vectrino velocimeter was employed to collect three-dimensional velocities over bimodal degraded bed under equilibrium condition. The streamwise velocity, Reynolds stresses, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), and TKE fluxes profiles were compared with the literature. However, the advancement of the existing knowledge was done by exploring the laws of turbulence. To this end, the velocity structure function method was applied. Second and third-order streamwise velocity structure functions followed by mixed third-order velocity structure functions revealed the existence of inertial subrange. The TKE dissipation rate was estimated using Kolmogorov’s and Monin–Yaglom’s scaling laws of turbulence. The anisotropy analysis indicated anisotropic turbulence in the near-bed, whereas above the initial bed-level, the anisotropy tends to follow three-dimensional isotropy. The present study notably enhances the understanding of turbulent flow through a degraded bed by demonstrating the legitimacy of laws of turbulence at different locations over the bed and providing a comprehensible acquaintance in TKE budget and Reynolds stress anisotropy.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41301324","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 kinematic viscosity of geometrised energy-momentum densities and their geodesic self-pushes by correlated metric stresses quantitatively clarify the adaptive all-unity of continuous kinetic energy, including material ether or variable rest-energy. The metric self-organisation of matter-space+time implies a nonlocal feedback of correlated eddy densities and their tensor response to the vector density of external forces. Such tensor inertial responses of correlated metric stresses reveal the nonlocal nature of turbulence and predict adaptive auto-modes or thermal waves of Euclidean material space due to the modified geodesic equation with viscose autowaves and the inverse Cavendish constant.

The roughness elements protrude outside the boundary layer, which, near the leading edge, is very thin; thus, the configuration does not represent a classical rough-wall boundary layer, but rather the flow over macroscopic obstacles. A grid convergence study is conducted and results are validated by comparison to numerical and experimental studies in the literature. The main effect of the obstacles is to accelerate transition to turbulence. Significant variations in structure generation are observed for different roughness shapes. The three-dimensionality of the irregularities has a strong impact on the flow: it creates alternating regions of high-speed (‘peaks’) and low-speed (‘valleys’) regions, a phenomenon termed ‘channelling’. The valley regions resemble a decelerating boundary layer: they exhibit considerable wake and higher levels of Reynolds stresses. The peak regions, on the other hand, are more similar to an accelerating one. Implications of the channelling phenomenon on turbulence modelling are discussed.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46085618","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 flow conditions consider a viscosity ratio , several values of the micro-ridge pitch and two different Weber numbers, We = 0 and We = 50. The performance is analyzed in terms of drag reduction (DR) with respect to an equivalent smooth channel, and the results compared with those available for super-hydrophobic surfaces (SHS). It is found that, due to the relatively high viscosity of the liquid locked in the substrate, the drag reduction offered by LIS is substantially lower than the corresponding SHS. When reported in terms of the streamwise slip length normalized in wall units, the amount of DR obtained by LIS in the ideal case of flat interface collapses on the SHS data. The interface dynamics has a detrimental effect on the performance, that becomes particularly severe when the pitch increases. The degradation of DR is well parametrized by the log-law shift of the velocity profile, that is found to be proportional to the difference between the virtual origin of the mean flow and that experienced by the overlying turbulence.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42928764","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 numerical results agree very well with previous experiments and DNS data in terms of turbulence statistics, wall pressure, and skin friction. The fluctuating WSS characteristics, including probability density function (PDF), frequency spectrum, space–time correlation, and convection velocity, are analysed systematically. It is found that the positively skewed PDF shape of the streamwise WSS fluctuations is significantly changed due to the presence of a separation bubble, while the PDF shape of the spanwise component is slightly affected, exhibiting a symmetric behaviour across the interaction. The weighted power-spectrum density map indicates that the low-frequency unsteadiness associated with the separated shock - exhibits little influence on the spectrum for either component, and no enhancement of the low-frequency energy is observed. A significant reduction in the spatial extent of the two-point correlation is observed, causing spanwise elongated coherence for the streamwise WSS fluctuations in the separation region. Moreover, the elliptic behaviour of the space–time correlations is essentially preserved throughout the interaction, and this is accompanied by a sudden reduction of the convection velocity in the separation bubble.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47144787","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 momentum and energy equations are considered in their simplified forms adapted to a 1D channel code in accordance with the DNS results used for the validation. To reconcile the discrete element (roughness) method with the double-averaged Navier-Stokes equations the notion of representative elementary roughness is introduced.
