Phenomenology of Wall Bounded Newtonian Turbulence
Victor S. L'vov, Anna Pomyalov, Itamar Procaccia +1
We construct a simple analytic model for wall-bounded turbulence, containing only four adjustable parameters. Two of these parameters characterize the viscous dissipation of the co…
Estimating von-Karman's constant from Homogeneous Turbulence
T. S. Lo, Victor S. L'vov, Anna Pomyalov +1
A celebrated universal aspect of wall-bounded turbulent flows is the von Karman log-law-of-the-wall, describing how the mean velocity in the streamwise direction depends on the dis…
Identification and Calculation of the Universal Maximum Drag Reduction Asymptote by Polymers in Wall Bounded Turbulence
Roberto Benzi, Elisabetta deAngelis, Victor S. L'vov +1
Drag reduction by polymers in wall turbulence is bounded from above by a universal maximal drag reduction (MDR) velocity profile that is a log-law, estimated experimentally by Virk…
Additive Equivalence in Turbulent Drag Reduction by Flexible and Rodlike Polymers
Roberto Benzi, Emily S. C. Ching, T. S. Lo +2
We address the "Additive Equivalence" discovered by Virk and coworkers: drag reduction affected by flexible and rigid rodlike polymers added to turbulent wall-bounded flows is limi…
