Statistical State Dynamics of Vertically Sheared Horizontal Flows in Two-Dimensional Stratified Turbulence
Joseph G. Fitzgerald, Brian F. Farrell
Simulations of strongly stratified turbulence often exhibit coherent large-scale structures called vertically sheared horizontal flows (VSHFs). VSHFs emerge in both two-dimensional…
Statistical state dynamics-based analysis of the physical mechanisms sustaining and regulating turbulence in Couette flow
Brian F. Farrell, Petros J. Ioannou
This paper describes a study of the self-sustaining process in wall-turbulence based on a second order statistical state dynamics (SSD) model of Couette flow. SSD models with this…
Instability of the roll/streak structure induced by free-stream turbulence in pre-transitional Couette flow
Brian F. Farrell, Petros J. Ioannou, Marios-Andreas Nikolaidis
Although the roll/streak structure is ubiquitous in pre-transitional wall-bounded shear flow, this structure is linearly stable if the idealization of laminar flow is made. Lacking…
