Thermal-diffusive instabilities in unstretched, planar diffusion flames

Etienne Robert, Peter A. Monkewitz

Our recent development of a novel research burner has made it possible to experimentally investigate truly unstretched and planar diffusion flames. Hence it has become feasible to…

On the difficulty of determining Karman 'constants' from DNS

Peter A. Monkewitz

The difficulty of determining the slope of the famed logarithmic law in the mean velocity profile in wall-bounded turbulent flows, the inverse of the Karman 'constant' , from di…

Reynolds number required to accurately discriminate between proposed trends of skin friction and normal stress in wall turbulence

Hassan Nagib, Peter Monkewitz, K. R. Sreenivasan

In Nagib, Chauhan and Monkewitz~\cite{NCM07} we concluded that nearly all available relations for zero-pressure-gradient boundary layers are in remarkable agreement over the…

Reynolds number scaling and inner-outer overlap of stream-wise Reynolds stress in wall turbulence

Peter A. Monkewitz

The scaling of Reynolds stresses in turbulent wall-bounded flows is the subject of a long running debate. In the near-wall ``inner'' region, a sizeable group, inspired by the ``att…

The hunt for the Kármán "constant'' revisited

Peter A. Monkewitz, Hassan M. Nagib

The logarithmic law of the wall, joining the inner, near-wall mean velocity profile (abbreviated MVP) in wall-bounded turbulent flows to the outer region, has been a permanent fixt…

Asymptotics of stream-wise Reynolds stress in wall turbulence

Peter A. Monkewitz

The scaling of different features of stream-wise normal stress profiles in turbulent wall-bounded flows, in particular in truly parallel flows, such as c…

The late start of the mean velocity overlap layer at -- A generic feature of ducted turbulent flows

Peter A. Monkewitz

One of the key observations in the Princeton Superpipe was the late start of the logarithmic mean velocity overlap layer at a wall distance of the order of inner units. Betw…

Derivation of Pitot corrections for the Zagarola & Smits Superpipe data and their composite fit

Peter A. Monkewitz

The original turbulent pipe flow experiments in the Princeton "Superpipe" by Zagarola & Smits (1997, 1998) at unprecedented laboratory Reynolds numbers have started an ongoing vigo…

Revisiting the quest for a universal log-law and the role of pressure gradient in "canonical" wall-bounded turbulent flows

Peter A. Monkewitz

The trinity of so-called "canonical" wall-bounded turbulent flows, comprising the zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer, abbreviated ZPG TBL, turbulent pipe flow and chan…
