Lagrangian acceleration in fully developed turbulence and its Eulerian decompositions
Dhawal Buaria, Katepalli R. Sreenivasan
We study the properties of various Eulerian contributions to fluid particle acceleration by using well-resolved direct numerical simulations of isotropic turbulence, with the grid…
Intermittency of turbulent velocity and scalar fields using 3D local averaging
Dhawal Buaria, Katepalli R. Sreenivasan
An efficient approach for extracting 3D local averages in spherical subdomains is proposed and applied to study the intermittency of small-scale velocity and scalar fields in direc…
Vorticity-strain rate dynamics and the smallest scales of turbulence
Dhawal Buaria, Alain Pumir
Building upon the intrinsic properties of Navier-Stokes dynamics, namely the prevalence of intense vortical structures and the interrelationship between vorticity and strain rate,…
Scaling of acceleration statistics in high Reynolds number turbulence
Dhawal Buaria, Katepalli R. Sreenivasan
The scaling of acceleration statistics in turbulence is examined by combining data from the literature with new data from well-resolved direct numerical simulations of isotropic tu…
