High–Reynolds number wall turbulence

AJ Smits, BJ McKeon, I Marusic - Annual Review of Fluid …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
We review wall-bounded turbulent flows, particularly high–Reynolds number, zero–pressure
gradient boundary layers, and fully developed pipe and channel flows. It is apparent that the …

[HTML][HTML] Wall-bounded turbulent flows at high Reynolds numbers: recent advances and key issues

I Marusic, BJ McKeon, PA Monkewitz, HM Nagib… - Physics of …, 2010 - pubs.aip.org
Wall-bounded turbulent flows at high Reynolds numbers have become an increasingly

[HTML][HTML] Hairpin vortex organization in wall turbulence

RJ Adrian - Physics of fluids, 2007 - pubs.aip.org
Coherent structures in wall turbulence transport momentum and provide a means of
producing turbulent kinetic energy. Above the viscous wall layer, the hairpin vortex paradigm …

Evidence of very long meandering features in the logarithmic region of turbulent boundary layers

N Hutchins, I Marusic - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2007 - cambridge.org
A regime of very long meandering positive and negative streamwise velocity fluctuations,
that we term 'superstructures', are found to exist in the log and lower wake regions of …

Large-scale amplitude modulation of the small-scale structures in turbulent boundary layers

R Mathis, N Hutchins, I Marusic - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2009 - cambridge.org
In this paper we investigate the relationship between the large-and small-scale energy-
containing motions in wall turbulence. Recent studies in a high-Reynolds-number turbulent …

Large-scale influences in near-wall turbulence

N Hutchins, I Marusic - Philosophical Transactions of the …, 2007 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Hot-wire data acquired in a high Reynolds number facility are used to illustrate the need for
adequate scale separation when considering the coherent structure in wall-bounded …

Large-and very-large-scale motions in channel and boundary-layer flows

BJ Balakumar, RJ Adrian - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2007 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Large-scale motions (LSMs; having wavelengths up to 2–3 pipe radii) and very-LSMs
(having wavelengths more than 3 pipe radii) have been shown to carry more than half of the …

Cascades in wall-bounded turbulence
