By Pierre Sagaut

This booklet summarizes the latest theoretical, computational and experimental effects facing homogeneous turbulence dynamics. a wide classification of flows is roofed: flows ruled through anisotropic creation mechanisms (e.g. shear flows) and flows with out construction yet ruled by way of waves (e.g. homogeneous rotating or stratified turbulence). Compressible turbulent flows also are thought of. In every one case, major traits are illustrated utilizing computational and experimental effects, whereas either linear and nonlinear theories and closures are mentioned. information about linear theories (e.g. swift Distortion concept and editions) and nonlinear closures (e.g. EDQNM) are supplied in devoted chapters, following an absolutely unified strategy. The emphasis is on homogeneous flows, together with numerous interactions (rotation, stratification, shear, surprise waves, acoustic waves, and extra) that are pertinent to many purposes fields - from aerospace engineering to astrophysics and Earth sciences.

Physics of Transitional Shear Flows: Instability and Laminar–Turbulent Transition in Incompressible Near-Wall Shear Layers

Ranging from basics of classical balance thought, an outline is given of the transition phenomena in subsonic, wall-bounded shear flows. in the beginning, the honour makes a speciality of ordinary small-amplitude speed perturbations of laminar shear layers, i. e. instability waves, within the least difficult canonical configurations of a aircraft channel stream and a flat-plate boundary layer.

Finally, the wave-vortex decomposition introduced in Riley, Metcalfe, and Weissman (1981) in the particular context of stably stratified turbulence (see Chapter 7) is also a particular case of Eq. 65). RDT equations (and fully nonlinear ones, too) can be written in the Craya– Herring frame, resulting in a reduced Green’s function with only four independent components (Cambon, 1982). Details are given in the following chapters, in which RDT solutions are discussed. Finally, one may mention that the toroidal part of the flow is always a part of the “horizontal” velocity component u × n, the one that is divergence free only in terms of horizontal coordinates.

Models range from linear (Launder, Reece, and Rodi, 1975) to cubic tensorial expansions. Similarly, the slow pressure–strain tensor is assumed to be an isotropic tensorial (s) function of bi j . In the simplest version, ⌸ i j is proportional to −bi j , in agreement with an heuristic principle of return-to-isotropy. Finally, the ε -equation is usually closed by pure analogy with the K-equation. ). The first equation can be considered as exact in the homogeneous unsteady limit if the production term given by Eq.

37) is usually referred to as the production tensor and is the only term on the righthand side of Eq. 36) that does not require modeling, as it is given in terms of the basic one-point variables u i and Ri j . The remaining terms, which are not exactly expressible in terms of the basic one-point variables and heuristic approximations, forming the core of the model are introduced to close the equations. 3 Reynolds Stress Tensor and Related Equations 23 The second term on the right-hand side of Eq.
