In the present study the near-wall behaviour of turbulent channel flow at ! = 1000, 2000 is investigated in the minimal domain designed to maintain healthy turbulence up to ! ≈ 100. The minimal flow units can reproduce statistical behaviour of small-scale motions in the full-sized channel in the absence of outer motions, which implies that the minimal flow unit could embody the universal properties of near-wall turbulence.Furthermore, combined with the signals of outer large-scale motions, the signals extracted from the minimal channels are used to predict the near-wall turbulence fluctuations in the full-sized channel and build the off-wall boundary conditions for the largeeddy simulation in the outer region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
