Revisiting the mixing length scaling in pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers via a symmetry approach

Weitao Bi

A century after Prandtl's mixing length hypothesis, full-profile scaling of the mixing length in pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers (PG TBLs) remains debated, especially f…

Quantifying non-equilibrium pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers through a symmetry-based framework

Wei-Tao Bi, Ke-Xin Zheng, Jun Chen +1

This study establishes a symmetry-based framework to quantify non-equilibrium processes in complex pressure gradient (PG) turbulent boundary layers (TBLs), using a Lie-group-inform…

A symmetry-based theory for the mean velocity profiles of turbulent boundary layers subjected to pressure gradient and historical turbulence effects

Tan-Tan Du, Jun Chen, Wei-Tao Bi +1

The pressure gradient has a significant influence on the mean-flow properties of turbulent boundary layers. Conventional analytical studies on PG turbulent boundary layers are cond…

Quantifying equilibrium pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers via a symmetry approach

Wei-Tao Bi, Jun Chen, Zhen-Su She

We propose a theory for predicting the mean velocity and Reynolds shear and normal stresses profiles in the wake region of equilibrium adverse pressure-gradient (PG, APG) turbulent…

A general Reynolds analogy theory for the compressible wall-bounded turbulence

You-sheng Zhang, Wei-tao Bi, Fazle. Husain +2

A general Reynolds analogy (GRA) theory is proposed for the mean and fluctuating velocity and temperature in compressible wall-bounded turbulent flows. In particular, an exact anal…
