Anisotropic Energy Transfer and Conversion in Magnetized Compressible Turbulence
We present a spatial filtering (or coarse-graining) analysis on 3D magnetized magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence simulations. The filtered compressible MHD formulae show transfer of kinetic and magnetic energies from large to small scales, as well as ...

Secondary Flow in Smooth and Rough Turbulent Circular Pipes: Turbulence Kinetic Energy Budgets
Direct Numerical Simulations have been performed for turbulent flow in circular pipes with smooth and corrugated walls. The numerical method, based on second-order finite discretization together with the immersed boundary technique, was validated and ...

A physical-space version of the stretched-vortex subgrid-stress model for large-eddy simulation [PDF]
A physical-space version of the stretched-vortex subgrid-stress model is presented and applied to large-eddy simulations of incompressible flows. This version estimates the subgrid-kinetic energy required for evaluation of the subgrid-stress tensor using

Lidar Studies of Wind Turbulence in the Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer
The kinetic energy of turbulence, the dissipation rate of turbulent energy, and the integral scale of turbulence in the stable atmospheric boundary layer at the location heights of low-level jets (LLJs) have been measured with a coherent Doppler light ...

Kinetic Turbulence in Collisionless High-β Plasmas
We present results from three-dimensional hybrid-kinetic simulations of Alfvénic turbulence in a high-β, collisionless plasma. The key feature of such turbulence is the interplay between local wave-wave interactions between the fluctuations in the ...

Turbulent drag reduction in magnetohydrodynamic and quasi-static magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
In hydrodynamic turbulence, the kinetic energy injected at large scales cascades to the inertial range, leading to a constant kinetic energy flux. In contrast, in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, a fraction of kinetic energy is transferred to the ...

Fuzzy Performance between Surface Fitting and Energy Distribution in Turbulence Runner
Because the application of surface fitting algorithms exerts a considerable fuzzy influence on the mathematical features of kinetic energy distribution, their relation mechanism in different external conditional parameters must be quantitatively analyzed.
