A new approach to turbulence simulation, based on a combination of large-eddy simulation (LES) for the whole flow and an array of non-space-filling quasi-direct numerical simulations (QDNS), which sample the response of near-wall turbulence to large-scale forcing, is proposed and evaluated. The technique overcomes some of the cost limitations of turbulence simulation, since the main flow is treated with a coarse-grid LES, with the equivalent of wall functions supplied by the near-wall sampled QDNS. Two cases are tested, at friction Reynolds number Re$_tau$=4200 and 20,000. The total grid node count for the first case is less than half a million and less than two million for the second case, with the calculations only requiring a desktop computer. A good agreement with published DNS is found at Re$_tau$=4200, both in terms of the mean velocity profile and the streamwise velocity fluctuation statistics, which correctly show a substantial increase in near-wall turbulence levels due to a modulation of near-wall streaks by large-scale structures. The trend continues at Re$_tau$=20,000, in agreement with experiment, which represents one of the major achievements of the new approach. A number of detailed aspects of the model, including numerical resolution, LES-QDNS coupling strategy and sub-grid model are explored. A low level of grid sensitivity is demonstrated for both the QDNS and LES aspects. Since the method does not assume a law of the wall, it can in principle be applied to flows that are out of equilibrium.

Emulsions are omnipresent in the food industry, health care, and chemical synthesis. In this Letter the dynamics of meta-stable oil-water emulsions in highly turbulent ($10^{11}leqtext{Ta}leq 3times 10^{13}$) Taylor--Couette flow, far from equilibriu m, is investigated. By varying the oil-in-water void fraction, catastrophic phase inversion between oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions can be triggered, changing the morphology, including droplet sizes, and rheological properties of the mixture, dramatically. The manifestation of these different states is exemplified by combining global torque measurements and local in-situ laser induced fluorescence (LIF) microscopy imaging. Despite the turbulent state of the flow and the dynamic equilibrium of the oil-water mixture, the global torque response of the system is found to be as if the fluid were Newtonian, and the effective viscosity of the mixture was found to be several times bigger or smaller than either of its constituents.
The interaction between turbulent axisymmetric wakes plays an important role in many industrial applications, notably in the modelling of wind farms. While the non-equilibrium high Reynolds number scalings present in the wake of axisymmetric plates h as been shown to modify the averaged streamwise scalings of individual wakes, little attention has been paid to their consequences in terms of wake interactions. We propose an experimental setup that tests the presence of non-equilibrium turbulence using the streamwise variation of velocity fluctuations between two bluff bodies facing a laminar flow. We have studied two different sets of plates (one with regular and another with irregular peripheries) with hot-wire anemometry in a wind tunnel. By acquiring streamwise profiles for different plate separations and identifying the wake interaction length for each separation it is possible to show that the interaction between them is consistent with non-equilibrium scalings. This work also generalises previous studies concerned with the interaction of plane wakes to include axisymmetric wakes. We find that a simple mathematical expression for the wake interaction length based on non-equilibrium turbulence scalings can be used to collapse the streamwise developments of the second, third and fourth moments of the streamwise fluctuating velocity.

In this visualisation, the transition from laminar to turbulent flow is characterised by the intermittent ejection of wall fluid into the outer stream. The normalised thickness of the viscous flow layer reaches an asymptotic value but the physical th ickness drops exponentially after transition. The critical transition pipe Reynolds number can be obtained simply by equating it with the asymptotic value of the normalised thickness of viscous flow layer. Key words: Transition, critical stability Reynolds number, critical transition Reynolds number, non-Newtonian pipe flow

This paper proposes a new data assimilation method for recovering high fidelity turbulent flow field around airfoil at high Reynolds numbers based on experimental data, which is called Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Inversion (POD-Inversion) data as similation method. Aiming at the flows including shock wave discontinuities or separated flows at high angle of attack, the proposed method can reconstruct high-fidelity turbulent flow field combining with experimental distributed force coefficients. We firstly perform the POD analysis to the turbulent eddy viscosity fields computed by SA model and obtain the base POD modes. Then optimized the POD coefficients by global optimization algorithm coupling with the Navier-Stokes equations solver. The high-fidelity turbulent flied are recovered by several main modes, which can dramatically reduce the dimensions of the system. The effectiveness of the method is verified by the cases of transonic flow around the RAE2822 airfoil at high Reynolds numbers and the separated flow at high angles of attack. The results demonstrate that the proposed assimilation method can recover the turbulent flow field which optimally match the experimental data, and significantly reduce the error of pressure coefficients. The proposed data assimilation method can offer high-fidelity field data for turbulent model based on machine learning.
Four well-resolved LESs of the turbulent boundary layers around a NACA4412 wing section, with Rec ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000, were performed at 5 degree angle of attack. By comparing the turbulence statistics with those in ZPG TBLs at approxim ately matching Re_tau, we find that the effect of the adverse pressure gradient (APG) is more intense at lower Reynolds numbers. This indicates that at low Re the outer region of the TBL becomes more energized through the wall-normal convection associated to the APG. This is also reflected in the fact that the inner-scaled wall-normal velocity is larger on the suction side at lower Reynolds numbers. In particular, the wing cases at Rec = 200,000 and 400,000 exhibit wall-normal velocities 40% and 20% larger, respectively, than the case with Rec = 1,000,000. Consequently, the outer-region energizing mechanism associated to the APG is complementary to that present in high-Re TBLs.
