Estimating the integral length scale on turbulent flows from the zero crossings of the longitudinal velocity fluctuation

DO Mora, M Obligado - Experiments in fluids, 2020 - Springer
The integral length scale (LL) is considered to be characteristic of the largest motions of a
turbulent flow, and as such, it is an input parameter in modern and classical approaches of …

Experimental study of the bottleneck in fully developed turbulence

C Küchler, G Bewley, E Bodenschatz - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2019 - Springer
The energy spectrum of incompressible turbulence is known to reveal a pileup of energy at
those high wavenumbers where viscous dissipation begins to act. It is called the bottleneck …

Turbulence behaviors underlying the sensible heat and water vapor flux dissimilarity in a stably stratified flow

X Guo, W Yang, J Hong, L Wang, Z Gao… - Environmental Fluid …, 2023 - Springer
Based on eddy-covariance measurements over a glacier, we investigate the scalar flux

Scale-to-scale anisotropy in homogeneous turbulence

DW Carter, F Coletti - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - cambridge.org
We experimentally investigate scale-to-scale anisotropy from the integral to the dissipative

Control of long-range correlations in turbulence

KP Griffin, NJ Wei, E Bodenschatz, GP Bewley - Experiments in Fluids, 2019 - Springer
The character of turbulence depends on where it develops. Turbulence near boundaries, for
instance, is different than in a free stream. To elucidate the differences between flows, it is …
