Attached eddy model of wall turbulence
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 …

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
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 …
