Beyond self-similarity in turbulence
A century of exhaustive turbulence research has allowed the development of a wide range of turbulence closure models, analytical parametrisations and scaling laws, which enter virtually all design and modelling protocols that involve high Reynolds number flows. Closer inspection, however, reveals that only two extreme and polar-opposite turbulence regimes have been well-understood and modelled. When turbulence is highly-strained and evolves rapidly, or when it is lowly-strained and evolves slowly. The in-between regime of intermediate strain, perhaps the most relevant for engineering and environmental applications, remains obscure. This proposal is about developing and validating a theory…
