Isotropization at small scales of rotating helically driven turbulence
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-04)
We present numerical evidence of how three-dimensionalization occurs at small scale in rotating turbulence with Beltrami (ABC) forcing, creating helical flow. The Zeman scale ℓ Ω at which the inertial and eddy turn-over ...
Drag reduction by polymer additives from turbulent spectra
(American Physical Society, 2010-12)
We extend the analysis of the friction factor for turbulent pipe flow reported by G. Gioia and P. Chakraborty [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 044502 (2006)]10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.044502 to the case where drag is reduced by polymer ...
Turbulence spectral characteristics of surface boundary layer
(Universidade Federal de Rio Grande do Sul, 2015-06-21)
A spectral analysis from wind tunnel and near-neutral atmosphere data was realized. The measurement spectra are compared with von Kármán and Kaimal expressions and a complementary evaluation based on the previous work of ...
Employing wind tunnel data to evaluate a turbulent spectral model
(Science Publishing Group, 2016)
In this study, spectra obtained from wind tunnel data are compared with a model that describes observed
atmospheric neutral spectra. The investigation points out that there is a good conformity between both spectra for ...
Spatiotemporal detection of Kelvin waves in quantum turbulence simulations
(American Physical Society, 2015-12)
We present evidence of Kelvin excitations in space-time resolved spectra of numerical simulations of quantum turbulence. Kelvin waves are transverse and circularly polarized waves that propagate along quantized vortices, ...
Characterizing inertial and convective optical turbulence by detrended fluctuation analysis
(Spie, 2013-10)
Atmospheric turbulence is usually simulated at the laboratory by generating convective free flows with hot surfaces, or heaters. It is tacitly assumed that propagation experiments in this environment are comparable to those ...
Waves and turbulence in magnetohydrodynamic direct numerical simulations
(American Institute of Physics, 2009-12)
Direct numerical simulations of the incompressible MHD equations with a uniform background magnetic field in a turbulent regime are performed to assess the relative importance of broadband turbulent fluctuations and wavelike ...
Ultrahigh vertical resolution radar measurements in the lower stratosphere at Arecibo
(American Geophysical Union, 1990-09)
We report on heretofore unprecedented observations of the turbulent layers in the Iower stratosphere using the Arecibo 2380-MHz radar. Spectral profiles with about 20 m height and 15 s time resolutions at altitudes in the ...
Low-frequency 1f fluctuations in hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
(American Physical Society, 2007-12)
We investigate the occurrence of 1f spectra of low-frequency fluctuations in numerical simulations of three-dimensional hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence driven by a random forcing with a controlled correlation ...
