Anisotropic fluctuations in turbulent sheared flows
arXiv:nlin/0402054 · doi:10.1063/1.1789546
Abstract
An experimental analysis of small-scales anisotropic turbulent fluctuations has been performed in two different flows. We analyzed anisotropic properties of an homogeneous shear flows and of a turbulent boundary layer by means of two cross-wire probes to obtain multi-point multi-component measurements. Data are analyzed at changing inter-probe separation without the use of Taylor hypothesis. The results are consistent with the ``exponent-only'' scenario for universality, i.e. all experimental data can be fit by fixing the same set of anisotropic scaling exponents at changing only prefactors, for different shear intensities and boundary conditions.
