Dimensional Coupling

The generation and the development of turbulent coherent structures in channel flows are investigated by using numerical simulation of Navier-Stokes equation and the theoretic model of turbulent coherent structures built up by the flow stability theories. The three-dimensional coupling compact difference scheme with high accuracy and resolution developed can be applied to the calculative region including points near the boundary. The results computed show nonlinear evolution process and characteristics of Reynolds stress, stream-wise vortices and span-wise vorticities, especially the nonlinear interactions between different coherent structures.

Regeneration Cycle

Two-way coupled direct numerical simulations are used to investigate the effects of inertial particles on self-sustained, turbulent coherent structures (i.e. the so-called regeneration cycle) in plane Couette flow at low Reynolds number just above the onset of transition. Tests show two limiting behaviours with increasing particle inertia, similar to the results from previous linear stability analyses: low-inertia particles trigger the laminar-to-turbulent instability whereas high-inertia particles tend to stabilize turbulence due to the extra dissipation induced by particle–fluid coupling. Furthermore, it is found that the streamwise coupling between phases is the dominant factor in damping of the turbulence and is highly related to the spatial distribution of the particles. The presence of particles in different turbulent coherent structures (large-scale vortices or large-scale streaks) determines the turbulent kinetic energy of particulate phase, which is related to the particle response time scaled by the turnover time of large-scale vortices. By quantitatively investigating the periodic character of the whole regeneration cycle and the phase difference between linked sub-steps, we show that the presence of inertial particles does not alter the periodic nature of the cycle or the relative length of each of the sub-steps. Instead, high-inertia particles greatly weaken the large-scale vortices as well as the streamwise vorticity stretching and lift-up effects, thereby suppressing the fluctuating amplitude of the large-scale streaks. The primary influence of low-inertia particles, however, is to strengthen the large-scale vortices, which fosters the cycle and ultimately reduces the critical Reynolds number.

Turbulent Coherent Structures

<p>Abstract</p><p>Recent experiments have established that the sediment particle motion, especially for particles near the bed, may not follow the normal (Fickian) diffusion behavior. To modify the diffusion equation where the fluctuation velocity is based on the normal distribution, this investigation hypothesizes that the fluctuation velocity based on bivariate probability distributions and particle-bed collision in open channel can provide some physical insight into the particle diffusion behavior. The distribution of fluctuation velocity is obtained using the Gram-Charlier expansion which considers the first four statistical moments of turbulent fluctuation velocity. The correlation between two-dimensional fluctuation velocities is modeled by performing Monte Carlo simulations. Besides, the uniform momentum zones (UMZ) are further identified and consequently the spatial locations of the edges that demarcate UMZs can be estimated. Once UMZs in the turbulent boundary layers can be characterized, the streamwise momentum deficit, and occurrences of ejection events and sweep events in the vicinity of UMZ edges under different Reynolds numbers can be simulated. The spatial influence of turbulent coherent structures on sediment particle trajectory can be demonstrated.</p>
