Macroscopic effects of the spectral structure in turbulent flows
Tuan Tran, Pinaki Chakraborty, Nicholas Guttenberg +5
Two aspects of turbulent flows have been the subject of extensive, split research efforts: macroscopic properties, such as the frictional drag experienced by a flow past a wall, an…
The turbulent mean-velocity profile: it is all in the spectrum
Gustavo Gioia, Nicholas Guttenberg, Nigel Goldenfeld +1
It has long been surmised that the mean-velocity profile (MVP) of a pipe flow is closely related to the spectrum of turbulent energy. Here we perform a spectral analysis to identif…
Marangoni shocks in unobstructed soap-film flows
T. Tran, P. Chakraborty, G. Gioia +2
It is widely thought that in steady, gravity-driven, unobstructed soap-film flows, the velocity increases monotonically downstream. Here we show experimentally that the velocity in…
