A Lagrangian experimental study of an axisymmetric turbulent water jet is performed to investigate the highly anisotropic and inhomogeneous flow field. The measurements were conducted within a Lagrangian exploration module, an icosahedron apparatus, to facilitate optical access of three cameras. The stereoscopic particle tracking velocimetry results in three component tracks of position, velocity and acceleration of the tracer particles within the vertically-oriented jet with a Taylor-based Reynolds number $mathcal R_lambda simeq 230$. Analysis is performed at seven locations from 15 diameters up to 45 diameters downstream. Eulerian analysis is first carried out to obtain critical parameters of the jet and relevant scales, namely the Kolmogorov and large turnover (integral) scales as well as the energy dissipation rate. Lagrangian statistical analysis is then performed on velocity components stationarised following methods inspired by Batchelor (textit{J. Fluid Mech.}, vol. 3, 1957, pp. 67-80) which aim to extend stationary Lagrangian theory of turbulent diffusion by Taylor to the case of self-similar flows. The evolution of typical Lagrangian scaling parameters as a function of the developing jet is explored and results show validation of the proposed stationarisation. The universal scaling constant $C_0$ (for the Lagrangian second-order structure function), as well as Eulerian and Lagrangian integral time scales are discussed in this context. $C_0$ is found to converge to a constant value (of the order of $C_0 = 3$) within 30 diameters downstream of the nozzle. Finally, the existence of finite particle size effects are investigated through consideration of acceleration dependent quantities.

The Lagrangian (LA) and Eulerian Acceleration (EA) properties of fluid particles in homogeneous turbulence with uniform shear and uniform stable stratification are studied using direct numerical simulations. The Richardson number is varied from $Ri=0
$, corresponding to unstratified shear flow, to $Ri=1$, corresponding to strongly stratified shear flow. The probability density functions (pdfs) of both LA and EA have a stretched-exponential shape and they show a strong and similar influence on the Richardson number. The extreme values of the EA are stronger than those observed for the LA. Geometrical statistics explain that the magnitude of the EA is larger than its Lagrangian counterpart due to the mutual cancellation of the Eulerian and convective acceleration, as both vectors statistically show an anti-parallel preference. A wavelet-based scale-dependent decomposition of the LA and EA is performed. The tails of the acceleration pdfs grow heavier for smaller scales of turbulent motion. Hence the flatness increases with decreasing scale, indicating stronger intermittency at smaller scales. The joint pdfs of the LA and EA indicate a trend to stronger correlations with increasing Richardson number and at larger scales of the turbulent motion. A consideration of the terms in the Navier--Stokes equation shows that the LA is mainly determined by the pressure-gradient term, while the EA is dominated by the nonlinear convection term.
We present Lagrangian one-particle statistics from the Risoe PTV experiment of a turbulent flow. We estimate the Lagrangian Kolmogorov constant $C_0$ and find that it is affected by the large scale inhomogeneities of the flow. The pdf of temporal vel
ocity increments are highly non-Gaussian for small times which we interpret as a consequence of intermittency. Using Extended Self-Similarity we manage to quantify the intermittency and find that the deviations from Kolmogorov 1941 similarity scaling is larger in the Lagrangian framework than in the Eulerian. Through the multifractal model we calculate the multifractal dimension spectrum.
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
current. The gravity current is realized experimentally and different levels of stratification are examined. For flow measurements, we use a multivolume three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry technique. To identify vortical LCSs (VLCSs), a fully automated 3D extraction algorithm for multiple flow structures based on the so-called Lagrangian-Averaged Vorticity Deviation method is implemented. The size, the orientation and the shape of the VLCSs are analyzed and the results show that these characteristics depend only weakly on the strength of the stratification. Through conditional analysis, we provide evidence that VLCSs modulate the average TNTI height, affecting consequently the entrainment process. Furthermore, VLCSs influence the local entrainment velocity and organize the flow field on both the turbulent and non-turbulent sides of the gravity current boundary.
A phenomenological theory of the fluctuations of velocity occurring in a fully developed homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow is presented. The focus is made on the fluctuations of the spatial (Eulerian) and temporal (Lagrangian) velocity increme
nts. The universal nature of the intermittency phenomenon as observed in experimental measurements and numerical simulations is shown to be fully taken into account by the multiscale picture proposed by the multifractal formalism, and its extensions to the dissipative scales and to the Lagrangian framework. The article is devoted to the presentation of these arguments and to their comparisons against empirical data. In particular, explicit predictions of the statistics, such as probability density functions and high order moments, of the velocity gradients and acceleration are derived. In the Eulerian framework, at a given Reynolds number, they are shown to depend on a single parameter function called the singularity spectrum and to a universal constant governing the transition between the inertial and dissipative ranges. The Lagrangian singularity spectrum compares well with its Eulerian counterpart by a transformation based on incompressibility, homogeneity and isotropy and the remaining constant is shown to be difficult to estimate on empirical data. It is finally underlined the limitations of the increment to quantify accurately the singular nature of Lagrangian velocity. This is confirmed using higher order increments unbiased by the presence of linear trends, as they are observed on velocity along a trajectory.
Coherent turbulent wave-packet structures in a jet at Reynolds number 460000 and Mach number 0.4 are extracted from experimental measurements and are modeled as linear fluctuations around the mean flow. The linear model is based on harmonic optimal f
orcing structures and their associated flow response at individual Strouhal numbers, obtained from analysis of the global linear resolvent operator. These forcing-response wave packets (resolvent modes) are first discussed with regard to relevant physical mechanisms that provide energy gain of flow perturbations in the jet. Modal shear instability and the nonmodal Orr mechanism are identified as dominant elements, cleanly separated between the optimal and suboptimal forcing-response pairs. A theoretical development in the framework of spectral covariance dynamics then explicates the link between linear harmonic forcing-response structures and the cross-spectral density (CSD) of stochastic turbulent fluctuations. A low-rank model of the CSD at given Strouhal number is formulated from a truncated set of linear resolvent modes. Corresponding experimental CSD matrices are constructed from extensive two-point velocity measurements. Their eigenmodes (spectral proper orthogonal or SPOD modes) represent coherent wave-packet structures, and these are compared to their counterparts obtained from the linear model. Close agreement is demonstrated in the range of preferred mode Strouhal numbers, around a value of 0.4, between the leading coherent wave-packet structures as educed from the experiment and from the linear resolvent-based model.
