Measurements of the Reynolds stress in the turbulent premixed flame
It has been shown in our previous study that the bi-modal distribution is seen in the radial component of the gas velocity obtained in the turbulent flame brush, implying that the shear component of the Reynolds stress conditioned on the unburnt mixture ...

Inner-outer decomposition of wall shear stress fluctuations in turbulent channels
Fluctuating wall shear stress in turbulent channel flows is decomposed into small-scale and large-scale components. The large-scale fluctuating wall shear stress is computed as the footprints of the outer turbulent motions, and the small-scale one is ...

Experimental study on turbulence characteristics of open channel flow beneath an ice cover
River ice, as a vital component of the terrestrial cryosphere, alters the structure of under-ice flows during its evolution.The hydraulic regimes of ice-affected streams may be classified as fully-open, completely-covered, and partially-covered.Using ...

Revisiting the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations
This study revisits the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations and finds that the existing literature is erroneous regarding the primary unknowns and the number of independent unknowns in the RANS. The literature claims that the Reynolds stress

Joint statistics between velocity-gradient and fluctuating pressure in a turbulent planar jet
Joint statistics between velocity gradient and fluctuating static pressure in a turbulent planar jet are experimentally investigated. The experimental data was acquired by simultaneous measurements of velocity gradient ( ∂u’2/∂x1 and ∂u’1/∂x2, where u’1,

Turbulence characteristics in open channel with glass-sphere quincunx arrays
The quincunx array is a common structure appearing on rough bed surfaces. However, the study on the variation of flow turbulence characteristics between particles and the distribution of different quadrants is still weak.
