Periodically modulated thermal convection

R Yang, KL Chong, Q Wang, R Verzicco, O Shishkina… - Physical review …, 2020 - APS
Many natural and industrial turbulent flows are subjected to time-dependent boundary
conditions. Despite being ubiquitous, the influence of temporal modulations (with frequency …

Unsteady and Inhomogeneous Turbulent Fluctuations around Isotropic Equilibrium

WJT Bos - Atmosphere, 2024 - mdpi.com
Extracting statistics for turbulent flows directly from the Navier–Stokes equations poses a
formidable challenge, particularly when dealing with unsteady or inhomogeneous flows …

Temporal large-scale intermittency and its impact on the statistics of turbulence

L Bentkamp, M Wilczek - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.08281, 2023 - arxiv.org
Turbulent flows in three dimensions are characterized by the transport of energy from large
to small scales through the energy cascade. Since the small scales are the result of the …

Efficiency of laminar and turbulent mixing in wall-bounded flows

B Kadoch, WJT Bos, K Schneider - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
A turbulent flow mixes in general more rapidly a passive scalar than a laminar flow does.
From an energetic point of view, for statistically homogeneous or periodic flows, the laminar …

Space-time modulation of turbulence in co-flow jets

TC de Souza, RJM Bastiaans, LPH De Goey… - International Journal of …, 2020 - Elsevier
This paper focuses on the effects of a space-time dependent periodic stirring of a moderately
turbulent planar co-flow jet configuration. The baseline flow is agitated in time and in space …
