The nonlocal nature of the Reynolds stress
A nonlocal expression for the turbulent Reynolds stress $\overline{u^{\prime }v^{\prime }}$ solves in a unified manner for the velocity profiles in jets, shear layers, wakes, and boundary layers, offering predictions consistent with known measurements in

The on-offshore and the vertical components u, w of the velocity in a surf zone on a uniformly sloping beach in a wave tank were measured simultaneously with a laser-doppler velocimeter under two conditions. The time variation of the Reynolds stress -u'w' during one wave period is discussed.

Realizability of Reynolds-stress turbulence models [PDF]
It is shown that certain existing phenomenological models of turbulence in terms of differential equations for the Reynolds stresses Rαβ=〈u′α u′β〉 do not guarantee realizable solutions. The known realizability conditions are Rαβ⩾0 for α=β and Rαβ2⩾Rαα Rββ for α≠β. A stronger requirement is that the matrix Rαβ be positive semi-definite.

Distribution and motion characteristics of Q-events for open-channel uniform flow
To understand the time-averaged transient motion characteristics of Q-events for open-channel uniform flow (first-quadrant (Q1), second-quadrant(Q2), third-quadrant(Q3), fourth-quadrant(Q4)), a high-frequency particle image velocimetry system was used to

Numerical simulation of grid-generated turbulent particulate flow by three-dimensional Reynolds stress; pp. 161–174 [PDF]
A three-dimensional (3D) Reynolds stress turbulence model based on 3D Reynolds-averaged NavierâStokes equations has been elaborated for grid-generated turbulence in particulate downward flow arranged in the channel domain of the square cross section ...

Assessment of Reynolds-stress models for aeronautical applications
Three Reynolds-Stress Models (RSMs) have been benchmarked on industrial configurations with aeronautical applications. The models are first compared on a zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer, which highlights the differences in the near-wall approaches of the models. Results are then analyzed for the Skåre & Krogstad adverse-pressure-gradient boundary

Intense Reynolds-stress events in turbulent ducts
Abstract The aim of the present work is to investigate the role of intense Reynolds shear-stress events in the generation of the secondary flow in turbulent ducts. We consider the connected regions of flow where the product of the instantaneous fluctuations of two velocity components is higher than a threshold based on the long-time turbulence ...
