Statistical tests then allow the significance and contribution to the turbulence intensity of the detected structures to be evaluated.
What follows should be considered as a general discussion on the nature of turbulence dynamics in view of the results obtained.
In the first one the flow is initially laminar and begins transition to turbulence.
The turbulence level in the test section of the water channel was less than 0.9%, in the 15 in. x 20 in.
By fine-scaled it is meant that the length scale of the turbulence should be small compared to the wavelength of potentially unstable modes.
Turbulence closure is effected a t second order.
We further presume that the required characteristics of the mean flow (mean velocity) and turbulence (intensity, scale size, etc.) may be specified.
A consistent decrease of all turbulence lengthscales was observed across the interaction also for strong shocks.
A large statistical database has been obtained which provides considerable insight to the structural and transport properties of thermally stratified turbulence.
The presence of active small-scale turbulence appears responsible for the continuing isotropy of the smallest eddies.
Thus, the data could be helpful in evaluating or formulating a wave theory of turbulence.
The turbulence energy balance is examined, including the separate effects of vertical diffusion of pressure and local kinetic energy.
Nonetheless, the basic idea remains attractive, not only for reducing turbulence levels but also for the postponement of laminar/turbulent transition.
In the second instance, the vorticity of the main motion is comparable to the vorticity of the turbulence in the wavenumber range under consideration.
