Download or read book The Theory of Homogeneous Turbulence written by G. K. Batchelor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1953 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a reissue of Professor Batchelor's text on the theory of turbulent motion, which was first published by Cambridge Unviersity Press in 1953. It continues to be widely referred to in the professional literature of fluid mechanics, but has not been available for several years. This classic account includes an introduction to the study of homogeneous turbulence, including its mathematic representation and kinematics. Linear problems, such as the randomly-perturbed harmonic oscillator and turbulent flow through a wire gauze, are then treated. The author also presents the general dynamics of decay, universal equilibrium theory, and the decay of energy-containing eddies. There is a renewed interest in turbulent motion, which finds applications in atmospheric physics, fluid mechanics, astrophysics, and planetary science.
Download or read book Homogeneous Turbulence Dynamics written by Pierre Sagaut and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides state-of-the-art results and theories in homogeneous turbulence, including anisotropy and compressibility effects with extension to quantum turbulence, magneto-hydodynamic turbulence and turbulence in non-newtonian fluids. Each chapter is devoted to a given type of interaction (strain, rotation, shear, etc.), and presents and compares experimental data, numerical results, analysis of the Reynolds stress budget equations and advanced multipoint spectral theories. The role of both linear and non-linear mechanisms is emphasized. The link between the statistical properties and the dynamics of coherent structures is also addressed. Despite its restriction to homogeneous turbulence, the book is of interest to all people working in turbulence, since the basic physical mechanisms which are present in all turbulent flows are explained. The reader will find a unified presentation of the results and a clear presentation of existing controversies. Special attention is given to bridge the results obtained in different research communities. Mathematical tools and advanced physical models are detailed in dedicated chapters.

Download or read book Turbulence in Rotating Stratified and Electrically Conducting Fluids written by P. A. Davidson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two recurring themes in astrophysical and geophysical fluid mechanics: waves and turbulence. This book investigates how turbulence responds to rotation, stratification or magnetic fields, identifying common themes, where they exist, as well as the essential differences which inevitably arise between different classes of flow. The discussion is developed from first principles, making the book suitable for graduate students as well as professional researchers. The author focuses first on the fundamentals and then progresses to such topics as the atmospheric boundary layer, turbulence in the upper atmosphere, turbulence in the core of the earth, zonal winds in the giant planets, turbulence within the interior of the sun, the solar wind, and turbulent flows in accretion discs. The book will appeal to engineers, geophysicists, astrophysicists and applied mathematicians who are interested in naturally occurring turbulent flows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulence is the lIDst natural nDde of fluid lIDtion, and has been the subject of scientific study for all Dst a century. During this period, various ideas and techniques have evolved to nDdel turbulence. Following Saffman, these theoretical approaches can be broadly divided into four overlapping categories -- (1) analytical lIDdelling, (2) physical lIDdelling, (3) phenomenologicalllDdelling, and (4) nurerical lIDdelling. With the purpose of stmtnarizing our =ent understanding of these theoretical approaches to turbulence, recognized leaders (fluid dynamicists, mathematicians and physicists) in the field were invited to participate in a formal workshop during October 10-12, 1984, sponsored by The Institute for CooIputer Applications in Science and Engineering and NASA Langley Research Center. Kraiciman, McCcxnb, Pouquet and Spiegel represented the category of analytical nDdelling, while Landahl and Saffman represented physical lIDdelling. The contributions of Latmder and Spalding were in the category of phenanenological lIDdelling, and those of Ferziger and Reynolds in the area of nurericalllDdelling. Aref, Cholet, Lumley, Moin, Pope and Temam served on the panel discussions. With the care and cooperation of the participants, the workshop achieved its purpose, and we believe that its proceedings published in this vol\. llre has lasting scientific value. The tone of the workshop was set by two introductory talks by Bushnell and ChaImm. Buslmell presented the engineering viewpoint while Chapman reviewed from a historical perspective developments in the study of turbulence. The remaining talks dealt with specific aspects of the theoretical approaches to fluid turbulence.

Download or read book Navier Stokes Turbulence written by Wolfgang Kollmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book serves as a core text for graduate courses in advanced fluid mechanics and applied science. It consists of two parts. The first provides an introduction and general theory of fully developed turbulence, where treatment of turbulence is based on the linear functional equation derived by E. Hopf governing the characteristic functional that determines the statistical properties of a turbulent flow. In this section, Professor Kollmann explains how the theory is built on divergence free Schauder bases for the phase space of the turbulent flow and the space of argument vector fields for the characteristic functional. Subsequent chapters are devoted to mapping methods, homogeneous turbulence based upon the hypotheses of Kolmogorov and Onsager, intermittency, structural features of turbulent shear flows and their recognition.
Download or read book Theories of Turbulence written by Martin Oberlack and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "turbulence” is used for a large variety of dynamical phenomena of fluids in motion whenever the details of the flow appear to be random and average properties are of primary interest. Just as wide ranging are the theoretical methods that have been applied towards a better understanding of fluid turbulence. In this book a number of these methods are described and applied to a broad range of problems from the transition to turbulence to asymptotic turbulence when the inertial part of the spectrum is fully developed. Statistical as well as nonstatistical treatments are presented, but a complete coverage of the subject is not attempted. The book will be of interest to scientists and engineers who wish to familiarize themselves with modern developments in theories of turbulence. The fact that the properties of turbulent fluid flow are addressed from very different points of view makes this volume rather unique among presently available books on turbulence.

Turbulence modeling is very extensive and continuously updated with new achievements and improvements of the models. Modern advances in computer speed offer the potential for elaborate numerical analysis of turbulent fluid flow while advances in instrumentation are creating large amounts of data. This book covers these topics in great detail. Covers the fundamentals of turbulence updated with recent developments Focuses on hybrid methods such as DES and wall-modeled LES Gives an updated treatment of numerical simulation and data analysis
Download or read book Numerical and Theoretical Study of Wall bounded Turbulence written by Haosen Xu and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents numerical and theoretical studies of wall-bounded turbulence. The dissertation is divided into three major parts. The first part focuses on flow physics and modeling of statistical quantities in turbulent boundary layers. We model pressure statistics. The modeling strategy is based on a combination of Townsend's attached eddy hypothesis with Komolgorov's 1941 theory on small-scale turbulence. Specifically, we account for small-scale motions related to pressure inside larger scale wall-attached eddies. With this strategy, we are able to model the even order moments and the scaling of pressure spectrum. In the second part of the dissertation, we study rough wall turbulent boundary layer with densely packed roughness elements. The roughness elements are cubes. Direct numerical simulations are carried out. We report mean flow statistics, Reynolds and dispersive stresses, as well as terms in the turbulent/dispersive kinetic energy budget equations. We show that roughness with high packing densities do not necessarily have similar behaviors and therefore they cannot simply be categorized as d-type roughness. The third part of this dissertation aims to apply computational fluid dynamics to realistic engineering problems. A few problems are considered. We start by studying turbulent boundary layers with heat transfer. We focus on low-speed flows(Mach number within 0.2) with heat transfer, and the performance of wall-modeled large eddy simulation with equilibrium wall model is assessed. The study shows that the Mach number limit for incompressible assumption for thermal fields is lower than the often-quoted value 0.2 due to the associated viscous heating. In addition, we show that the first grid point implementation of the equilibrium wall model outperforms the third grid point implementation for heat transfer problems. Next, we apply wall-modeled large eddy simulation for flows in turbo-machinery. The study focuses specifically on the return channel of a multistage centrifugal compressor. We compare the results from wall-modeled large eddy simulation with those from Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and experimental measurements. We show the potential advantages of wall-modeled large eddy simulations for practical engineering applications.
