Growth of helicity in salt-finger convection in the two-dimensional three-component limit
Smiron Varghese, Benjamin Miquel, Wouter Bos
We present an analytical investigation of the global helicity budget associated with the salt-fingering instability within the two-dimensional, three-component framework. Our analy…
The Role of Vortex Stretching in Drag Reduction of Polymer-Laden Turbulent Flow
Wouter J. T. Bos, Xuan Shao, Tong Wu +1
An addition of polymers can significantly reduce drag in wall-bounded turbulent flows, such as pipes or channels. This phenomenon is accompanied by a noticeable modification of the…
The influence of the vorticity-scalar correlation on mixing
Xi-Yuan Yin, Wesley Agoua, Tong Wu +1
We investigate the role of the correlation between a scalar quantity and the vorticity in two-dimensional mixing at infinite Péclet number. We assess, using a diffusivity independe…
On the strength of the nonlinearity in isotropic turbulence
Wouter Bos, Robert Rubinstein
Turbulence governed by the Navier-Stokes equations shows a tendency to evolve towards a state in which the nonlinearity is diminished. In fully developed turbulence this tendency c…
