We use DNS to study inter-scale and inter-space energy exchanges in the near-field of a turbulent wake of a square prism in terms of the KHMH equation written for a triple decomposition of the velocity field accounting for the quasi-periodic vortex shedding. Orientation-averaged terms of the KHMH are computed on the plane of the mean flow and on the geometric centreline. We consider locations between $2$ and $8$ times the width $d$ of the prism. The mean flow produces kinetic energy which feeds the vortex shedding coherent structures. In turn, these structures transfer energy to the stochastic fluctuations over all length-scales $r$ from the Taylor length $lambda$ to $d$ and dominate spatial turbulent transport of two-point stochastic turbulent fluctuations. The orientation-averaged non-linear inter-scale transfer rate $Pi^{a}$ which was found to be approximately independent of $r$ by Alves Portela et. al. (2017) in the range $lambdale r le 0.3d$ at a distance $x_{1}=2d$ from the square prism requires an inter-scale transfer contribution of coherent structures for this approximate constancy. However, the near-constancy of $Pi^a$ at $x_1=8d$ which was also found by Alves Portela et. al. (2017) is mostly due to stochastic fluctuations. Even so, the proximity of $-Pi^a$ to the turbulence dissipation rate $varepsilon$ in the range $lambdale rle d$ at $x_1=8d$ requires contributions of the coherent structures. Spatial inhomogeneity also makes a direct and distinct contribution to $Pi^a$, and the constancy of $-Pi^a/varepsilon$ close to 1 would not have been possible without it either in this near-field flow. Finally, the pressure-velocity term is also an important contributor to the KHMH, particularly at scales r larger than about $0.4d$, and appears to correlate with the purely stochastic non-linear inter-scale transfer rate when the orientation average is lifted.
In this paper, we employ Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) theory for the three dimensional vortex eduction and investigate the effect of large-scale vortical structures on the turbulent/non-turbulent interface (TNTI) and entrainment of a gravity
The aim of the present work is to investigate the role of coherent structures in the generation of the secondary flow in a turbulent square duct. The coherent structures are defined as connected regions of flow where the product of the instantaneous
Data from Direct Numerical Simulations of disperse bubbly flows in a vertical channel are used to study the effect of the bubbles on the carrier-phase turbulence. A new method is developed, based on the barycentric map approach, that allows to quanti
This paper concerns the study of direct numerical simulation (DNS) data of a wavepacket in laminar turbulent transition in a Blasius boundary layer. The decomposition of this wavepacket into a set of modes (a basis that spans an approximate solution
Evolution of stochastically homogeneous magnetic field advected by incompressible turbulent flow with large magnetic Prandtl numbers is considered at the scales less than Kolmogorov viscous scale. It is shown that, despite unlimited growth of the mag
