Energy spectra of developed superfluid turbulence
Victor S. L'vov, Sergey V. Nazarenko, Grigory E. Volovik
The spectrum of turbulence in superfluid liquid is modified by the nonlinear energy dissipation caused by the mutual friction between quantized vortices and the normal component of…
Drag Reduction by Microbubbles in Turbulent Flows: the Limit of Minute Bubbles
Victor S. L'vov, Anna Pomyalov, Itamar Procaccia +1
Drag reduction by microbubbles is a promising engineering method for improving ship performance. A fundamental theory of the phenomenon is lacking however, making actual design qui…
Maximum Drag Reduction Asymptotes and the Cross-Over to the Newtonian Plug
R. Benzi, E. De Angelis, I. Procaccia +2
We employ the full FENE-P model of hydrodynamics of a dilute polymer solutions to derive a theoretical approach to drag reduction in wall bounded turbulence. We recapture the resul…
The Polymer Stress Tensor in Turbulent Shear Flows
Victor S. L'vov, Anna Pomyalov, Itamar Procaccia +1
The interaction of polymers with turbulent shear flows is examined. We focus on the structure of the elastic stress tensor, which is proportional to the polymer conformation tensor…
Simple analytical model for entire turbulent boundary layer over flat plane: from viscous and mixing layers to turbulent logarithmic region
Victor S. L'vov, Anna Pomyalov, Vasil Tiberkevich
We discuss a simple analytical model of the turbulent boundary layer (TBL) over flat plane. The model offers an analytical description of the profiles of mean velocity and turbulen…
Saturation of Turbulent Drag Reduction in Dilute Polymer Solutions
Roberto Benzi, Victor S. L'vov, Itamar Procaccia +1
Drag reduction by polymers in turbulent wall-bounded flows exhibits universal and non-universal aspects. The universal maximal mean velocity profile was explained in a recent theor…
