Relation of the fourth-order statistical invariants of velocity gradient tensor in isotropic turbulence

L Fang, YJ Zhang, J Fang, Y Zhu - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
We show by direct numerical simulations (DNSs) that in different types of isotropic
turbulence, the fourth-order statistical invariants have approximately a linear relation, which …

[HTML][HTML] Applying resolved-scale linearly forced isotropic turbulence in rational subgrid-scale modeling

C Wang, M Ge - Acta Mechanica Sinica, 2019 - Springer
In previous attempts of rational subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling by employing the Kolmogorov

Background scalar-level anisotropy caused by low-wave-number truncation in turbulent flows

L Fang - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
We rigorously show that the truncation at low wave numbers always leads to background
scalar-level anisotropy at large scales. Neither the resolution nor the spectral low-pass filter …
