Attached eddy model of wall turbulence

I Marusic, JP Monty - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Modeling wall turbulence remains a major challenge, as a sufficient physical understanding
of these flows is still lacking. In an effort to move toward a physics-based model, AA …

Log-layer mismatch and modeling of the fluctuating wall stress in wall-modeled large-eddy simulations

XIA Yang, GI Park, P Moin - Physical review fluids, 2017 - APS
Log-layer mismatch refers to a chronic problem found in wall-modeled large-eddy simulation
(WMLES) or detached-eddy simulation, where the modeled wall-shear stress deviates from …

Linear-model-based study of the coupling between velocity and temperature fields in compressible turbulent channel flows

C Cheng, L Fu - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
It is generally believed that the temperature and the velocity fields are highly coupled in
compressible wall-bounded turbulence. In the present study, we employ a linear model, ie …

Wall-attached and wall-detached eddies in wall-bounded turbulent flows

R Hu, XIA Yang, X Zheng - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
According to Townsend's attached eddy hypothesis (AEH), a boundary layer flow is
comprised of wall-attached eddies, but to extract the part of the flow whose statistical …

Streamwise inclination angle of wall-attached eddies in turbulent channel flows

C Cheng, W Shyy, L Fu - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
We develop a new methodology to assess the streamwise inclination angles (SIAs) of the
wall-attached eddies populating the logarithmic region with a given wall-normal height. To …

Statistical signatures of component wall-attached eddies in proper orthogonal decomposition modes of a turbulent boundary layer

L Wang, C Pan, J Wang, Q Gao - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
Physical representation of coherent motions in wall-bounded turbulence satisfying
Townsend's attached-eddy hypothesis (AEH) is still an open question to be debated. Here …

Hierarchical random additive model for the spanwise and wall-normal velocities in wall-bounded flows at high Reynolds numbers

XIA Yang, R Baidya, Y Lv, I Marusic - Physical Review Fluids, 2018 - APS
At high Reynolds numbers, the logarithmic range in wall-bounded flows spans many scales.
An important conceptual modeling framework of the logarithmic range is Townsend's …

Consistency between the attached-eddy model and the inner–outer interaction model: a study of streamwise wall-shear stress fluctuations in a turbulent channel flow

C Cheng, L Fu - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
The inner–outer interaction model (Marusic et al., Science, vol. 329, 2010, pp. 193–196) and
the attached-eddy model (Townsend, Cambridge University Press, 1976) are two …

Quantifying uncertainties in direct-numerical-simulation statistics due to wall-normal numerics and grids

PES Chen, X Zhu, Y Shi, XIA Yang - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
This paper takes the perspective of a user of direct-numerical-simulation (DNS) data and
quantifies the uncertainties in DNS statistics for plane channel flows. We focus on high-order …

Uncovering Townsend's wall-attached eddies in low-Reynolds-number wall turbulence

C Cheng, W Li, A Lozano-Durán, H Liu - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
A growing body of studies supports the existence of Townsend's wall-attached eddies in wall
turbulence under the condition of sufficiently high Reynolds numbers. In the present work …
