Second Moment Closure Modeling and DNS of Stratified Shear Layers

Naman Jain, Hieu T. Pham, Xinyi Huang +3

Buoyant shear layers are encountered in many engineering and environmental applications and have been studied by researchers in the context of experiments and modeling for decades.…

LES wall modeling for heat transfer at high speeds

Peng E. S. Chen, Yu Lv, Haosen H. A. Xu +2

A practical application of universal wall scalings is near-wall turbulence modeling. In this paper, we exploit temperature's semi-local scaling [Patel, Boersma, and Pecnik, {Scalar…

The diverse nature of small-scale turbulence

Ke-Qi Ding, Kun Yang, Xiang Yang +2

The self-similar Richardson cascade admits two logically possible scenarios of small-scale turbulence at high Reynolds numbers. In the first scenario, eddies' population densities…

3D flow motions in the viscous sublayer

Santosh Kumar Sankar, Xinyi Huang, Xiang Yang +1

We employ novel digital Fresnel reflection holography to capture the 3D flows within the viscous sublayer of a smooth-wall turbulent channel flow at Reτ=400. The measurements revea…

On skin friction in wall-bounded turbulence

Zhenhua Xia, Peng Zhang, Xiang I. A. Yang

In this paper, we derive mathematical formulas for the skin friction coefficient in wall-bounded turbulence based on the Reynolds averaged streamwise momentum equation and the tota…

Bifurcation and multiple states in plane Couette flow with spanwise rotation

Xiang Yang, Zhenhua Xia

We present a derivation that begins with the Navier--Stokes equation and ends with a prediction of multiple statistically stable states identical to those observed in a spanwise ro…
