▪ Abstract We review the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent flows. We stress that
DNS is a research tool, and not a brute-force solution to the Navier-Stokes equations for …

▪ Abstract I have sometimes thought that what makes a man's work classic is often just this
multiplicity [of interpretations], which invites and at the same time resists our craving for a …

This textbook presents a modern account of turbulence, one of the greatest challenges in
physics. The state-of-the-art is put into historical perspective five centuries after the first …

This is an advanced textbook on the subject of turbulence, and is suitable for engineers,
physical scientists and applied mathematicians. The aim of the book is to bridge the gap …

The inertial-range scaling laws of fully developed turbulence are described in terms of
scalings of a sequence of moment ratios of the energy dissipation field ε l coarse-grained at …

Understanding and predicting turbulent flow phenomena remain a challenge for both theory
and applications. The nonlinear and nonlocal character of small-scale turbulence can be …

The structure of the intense-vorticity regions is studied in numerically simulated
homogeneous, isotropic, equilibrium turbulent flow fields at four different Reynolds numbers …

The identification issue of coherent vortices is investigated on the basis of direct numerical
simulation (DNS) and large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent flows. It is first shown that …

The dynamics of both the inviscid and viscous Taylor–Green (TG) three-dimensional vortex
flows are investigated. This flow is perhaps the simplest system in which one can study the …

A direct numerical simulation at resolution 2403 is used to obtain a statistically stationary
three-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic turbulent field at a Reynolds number around …
