Does intermittency affect the inertial transfer rate in stationary isotropic turbulence?

S. R. Yoffe, W. D. McComb

Direct numerical simulations of the forced Navier-Stokes equations were performed, in which each shell-averaged quantity evolved from a value appropriate to an initial Gaussian sta…

The infinite Reynolds number limit and the quasi dissipative anomaly

W. D. McComb, S. R. Yoffe

From a critical review of Onsager's pioneering paper which was published in 1949 we conclude that his analysis was at odds with other workers in the field because instead of taking…

A modified Lin equation for the energy balance in isotropic turbulence

W. D. McComb

A new form of the well known Lin equation for the energy balance in isotropic turbulence is given which takes account of the filtered-partitioned transfer spectra which were used t…

The effect of Kolmogorov (1962) scaling on the universality of turbulence energy spectra

W. D. McComb, M. Q. May

It has long been established that turbulence energy spectra scale on the Kolmogorov (1941) variables over a wide range of Reynolds numbers and in vastly different physical systems,…

Onset criteria for freely decaying isotropic turbulence

S. R. Yoffe, W. D. McComb

From DNS of turbulence decaying from specified initial conditions for the range of initial Taylor-Reynolds numbers 2.58 < Rλ(0) < 358.6, it was found that the shape of the iconic c…

The dimensionless dissipation rate and the Kolmogorov (1941) hypothesis of local stationarity in freely decaying isotropic turbulence

W. D. McComb, R. B. Fairhurst

An expression for the dimensionless dissipation rate was derived from the Karman-Howarth equation by asymptotic expansion of the second- and third- order structure functions in pow…
