On Modelling Wind-Farm Wake Turbulence Autospectra and Coherence from a Database

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
This study addresses the feasibility of modeling wind-farm wake-turbulence autospectra and coherences from a database: flow velocity points from experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigations. Specifically, it first applies an earlier-

Scaling of Second-Order Structure Functions in Turbulent Premixed Flames in the Flamelet Combustion Regime

open access: yesFluids, 2020
The second-order velocity structure function statistics have been analysed using a DNS database of statistically planar turbulent premixed flames subjected to unburned gas forcing.

Radar cross sections for mesospheric echoes at Jicamarca [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2009
Radar cross sections (RCS) of mesospheric layers at 50 MHz observed at Jicamarca, Peru, range from 10−18 to 10−16 m−1, three orders of magnitudes smaller than cross sections reported for polar mesospheric winter echoes during solar ...

Generalized self-similar spectrum and the effect of large-scale in decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2018
In statistically stationary conditions, the turbulent energy spectrum in a high Reynolds number flow exhibits a k ^−5/3 (Kolmogorov) regime, with a faster decay at larger, dissipative wavenumbers.

An overview of Millionschikov's quasi-normality hypothesis applied to turbulence

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2014
In this paper, we examine the zero-fourth cumulant approximation that was applied to fluctuating velocity components of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence by M.D. Millionschikov.

Turbulence decay in the density-stratified intracluster medium

open access: yes, 2019
Turbulence evolution in a density-stratified medium differs from that of homogeneous isotropic turbulence described by the Kolmogorov picture. We evaluate the degree of this effect in the intracluster medium (ICM) with hydrodynamical simulations. We find

Bubbly and Buoyant Particle-Laden Turbulent Flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Fluid turbulence is commonly associated with stronger drag, greater heat transfer, and more efficient mixing than in laminar flows. In many natural and industrial settings, turbulent liquid flows contain suspensions of dispersed bubbles and light ...

Secondary Flow near an Undulatory Surface Induced by Wall Blocking Effect

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2007
Secondary mean motions of Prandtl's second kind near an undulatory surface are explained in terms of the turbulent blocking effect and kinematic boundary conditions at the surface, and the order of magnitude is estimated. The isotropic turbulence is

Velocity autocorrelations of decaying isotropic homogeneous turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Velocity autocorrelations and the mean-square displacements of fluid particles are obtained for decaying, isotropic homogeneous turbulence by numerical simulation of the flow field, using 1283 and 2563 grids, and tracking several tens of thousands of ...

Theory and Modelling of Isotropic Turbulence: From Incompressible through Increasingly Compressible Flows

open access: yesAtmosphere
Homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT) has been a useful theoretical concept for more than fifty years of theory, modelling, and calculations. Some exact results are revisited in incompressible HIT, with special emphasis on the 4/5 Kolmogorov law.
