Wall-scaled eddies and embedded shear layers in high-Reynolds-number moderate adverse-pressure-gradient boundary layers

Ahmad Zarei, Mitchell Lozier, Ivan Marusic +1

This study compares high-Reynolds-number turbulent boundary layers under zero and low-to-moderate adverse pressure gradients, showing similar scaling and energy contributions from…

Measurements of non-linear energy transfer in canonical and drag-reduced turbulent boundary layers

Max W. Knoop, Bas W. van Oudheusden, Rahul Deshpande

Three-dimensional particle-tracking velocimetry (3D-PTV) measurements were used to compute the spectral transport of the Reynolds-stress tensor. The experimental framework is valid…

On the wake region of high-Reynolds-number turbulent boundary layers subject to adverse pressure gradients

Mitchell Lozier, Ahmad Zarei, Ivan Marusic +1

The effect of a moderate adverse pressure gradient (APG) on the structure of a high-Reynolds-number turbulent boundary layer (TBL) was investigated experimentally using complementa…

On the wall-normal velocity variance in canonical wall-bounded turbulence

Michael Heisel, Rahul Deshpande, Gabriel G. Katul

The variance and spectra of wall-normal velocities are investigated for direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a channel, pipe, and zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer…

Effects of Reynolds number and spatial resolution on the pressure source terms in turbulent boundary layers

Aditya Agarwal, Rahul Deshpande

The increase in wall-pressure fluctuations with increasing friction Reynolds number () of a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) is well known in the literature. However, very few…

Response of a turbulent boundary layer to steady, square-wave-type transverse wall-forcing

Max W. Knoop, Rahul Deshpande, Ferry F. J. Schrijer +1

This study investigates the spatial evolution of a zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer (TBL) imposed by a square-wave (SqW) of steady spanwise wall-forcing, which varie…
