A resolvent-based reduced-order representation is used to capture time-averaged second-order statistics in turbulent channel flow. The recently-proposed decomposition of the resolvent operator into two distinct families related to the Orr-Sommerfeld and Squire operators [K. Rosenberg and B. J. McKeon, Efficient representation of exact coherent states of the Navier-Stokes equations using resolvent analysis, Fluid Dynamics Research 51, 011401 (2019)] results in dramatic improvement in the ability to match all components of the energy spectra and the $uv$ cospectrum. The success of the new representation relies on the ability of the Squire modes to compete with the vorticity generated by Orr-Sommerfeld modes, which is demonstrated by decomposing the statistics into contributions from each family. It is then shown that this competition can be used to infer a phase relationship between the two sets of modes. Additionally, the relative Reynolds number scalings for the two families of resolvent weights are derived for the universal classes of resolvent modes presented by Moarref et al. [R. Moarref, A. S. Sharma, J. A. Tropp, and B. J. McKeon, Model-based scaling of the streamwise energy density in high-Reynolds-number turbulent channels, Journal of Fluid Mechanics 734, 275 (2013)]. These developments can be viewed as a starting point for further modeling efforts to quantify nonlinear interactions in wall-bounded turbulence.

We present direct numerical simulations of turbulent channel flow with passive Lagrangian polymers. To understand the polymer behavior we investigate the behavior of infinitesimal line elements and calculate the probability distribution function (PDF
) of finite-time Lyapunov exponents and from them the corresponding Cramers function for the channel flow. We study the statistics of polymer elongation for both the Oldroyd-B model (for Weissenberg number $Wi <1$) and the FENE model. We use the location of the minima of the Cramers function to define the Weissenberg number precisely such that we observe coil-stretch transition at $Wiapprox1$. We find agreement with earlier analytical predictions for PDF of polymer extensions made by Balkovsky, Fouxon and Lebedev [Phys. Rev. Lett., 84, 4765 (2000).] for linear polymers (Oldroyd-B model) with $Wi<1$ and by Chertkov [Phys. Rev. Lett., 84, 4761 (2000).] for nonlinear FENE-P model of polymers. For $Wi>1$ (FENE model) the polymer are significantly more stretched near the wall than at the center of the channel where the flow is closer to homogenous isotropic turbulence. Furthermore near the wall the polymers show a strong tendency to orient along the stream-wise direction of the flow but near the centerline the statistics of orientation of the polymers is consistent with analogous results obtained recently in homogeneous and isotropic flows.
We present numerical simulations of laminar and turbulent channel flow of an elastoviscoplastic fluid. The non-Newtonian flow is simulated by solving the full incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the evolution equation for the elastovi
scoplastic stress tensor. The laminar simulations are carried out for a wide range of Reynolds numbers, Bingham numbers and ratios of the fluid and total viscosity, while the turbulent flow simulations are performed at a fixed bulk Reynolds number equal to 2800 and weak elasticity. We show that in the laminar flow regime the friction factor increases monotonically with the Bingham number (yield stress) and decreases with the viscosity ratio, while in the turbulent regime the the friction factor is almost independent of the viscosity ratio and decreases with the Bingham number, until the flow eventually returns to a fully laminar condition for large enough yield stresses. Three main regimes are found in the turbulent case, depending on the Bingham number: for low values, the friction Reynolds number and the turbulent flow statistics only slightly differ from those of a Newtonian fluid; for intermediate values of the Bingham number, the fluctuations increase and the inertial equilibrium range is lost. Finally, for higher values the flow completely laminarises. These different behaviors are associated with a progressive increases of the volume where the fluid is not yielded, growing from the centerline towards the walls as the Bingham number increases. The unyielded region interacts with the near-wall structures, forming preferentially above the high speed streaks. In particular, the near-wall streaks and the associated quasi-streamwise vortices are strongly enhanced in an highly elastoviscoplastic fluid and the flow becomes more correlated in the streamwise direction.
Turbulence modeling is a classical approach to address the multiscale nature of fluid turbulence. Instead of resolving all scales of motion, which is currently mathematically and numerically intractable, reduced models that capture the large-scale be
havior are derived. One of the most popular reduced models is the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. The goal is to solve the RANS equations for the mean velocity and pressure field. However, the RANS equations contain a term called the Reynolds stress tensor, which is not known in terms of the mean velocity field. Many RANS turbulence models have been proposed to model the Reynolds stress tensor in terms of the mean velocity field, but are usually not suitably general for all flow fields of interest. Data-driven turbulence models have recently garnered considerable attention and have been rapidly developed. In a seminal work, Ling et al (2016) developed the tensor basis neural network (TBNN), which was used to learn a general Galilean invariant model for the Reynolds stress tensor. The TBNN was applied to a variety of flow fields with encouraging results. In the present study, the TBNN is applied to the turbulent channel flow. Its performance is compared with classical turbulence models as well as a neural network model that does not preserve Galilean invariance. A sensitivity study on the TBNN reveals that the network attempts to adjust to the dataset, but is limited by the mathematical form that guarantees Galilean invariance.
Harmonic oscillations of the walls of a turbulent plane channel flow are studied by direct numerical simulations to improve our understanding of the physical mechanism for skin-friction drag reduction. The simulations are carried out at constant pres
sure gradient in order to define an unambiguous inner scaling: in this case, drag reduction manifests itself as an increase of mass flow rate. Energy and enstrophy balances, carried out to emphasize the role of the oscillating spanwise shear layer, show that the viscous dissipations of the mean flow and of the turbulent fluctuations increase with the mass flow rate, and the relative importance of the latter decreases. We then focus on the turbulent enstrophy: through an analysis of the temporal evolution from the beginning of the wall motion, the dominant, oscillation-related term in the turbulent enstrophy is shown to cause the turbulent dissipation to be enhanced in absolute terms, before the slow drift towards the new quasi-equilibrium condition. This mechanism is found to be responsible for the increase in mass flow rate. We finally show that the time-average volume integral of the dominant term relates linearly to the drag reduction.
An extension of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition is applied to the wall layer of a turbulent channel flow (Re {tau} = 590), so that empirical eigenfunctions are defined in both space and time. Due to the statistical symmetries of the flow, the igenfun
ctions are associated with individual wavenumbers and frequencies. Self-similarity of the dominant eigenfunctions, consistent with wall-attached structures transferring energy into the core region, is established. The most energetic modes are characterized by a fundamental time scale in the range 200-300 viscous wall units. The full spatio-temporal decomposition provides a natural measure of the convection velocity of structures, with a characteristic value of 12 u {tau} in the wall layer. Finally, we show that the energy budget can be split into specific contributions for each mode, which provides a closed-form expression for nonlinear effects.
