Scale-space energy density function, $E(mathbf{x}, mathbf{r})$, is defined as the derivative of the two-point velocity correlation. The function E describes the turbulent kinetic energy density of scale r at a location x and can be considered as the generalization of spectral energy density function concept to inhomogeneous flows. We derive the transport equation for the scale-space energy density function in compressible flows to develop a better understanding of scale-to-scale energy transfer and the degree of non-locality of the energy interactions. Specifically, the effects of variable-density and dilatation on turbulence energy dynamics are identified. It is expected that these findings will yield deeper insight into compressibility effects leading to improved models at all levels of closure for mass flux, density-variance, pressure-dilatation, pressure-strain correlation and dilatational dissipation processes.

The present study investigates the accurate inference of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solutions for the compressible flow over aerofoils in two dimensions with a deep neural network. Our approach yields networks that learn to generate precise flow
fields for varying body-fitted, structured grids by providing them with an encoding of the corresponding mapping to a canonical space for the solutions. We apply the deep neural network model to a benchmark case of incompressible flow at randomly given angles of attack and Reynolds numbers and achieve an improvement of more than an order of magnitude compared to previous work. Further, for transonic flow cases, the deep neural network model accurately predicts complex flow behaviour at high Reynolds numbers, such as shock wave/boundary layer interaction, and quantitative distributions like pressure coefficient, skin friction coefficient as well as wake total pressure profiles downstream of aerofoils. The proposed deep learning method significantly speeds up the predictions of flow fields and shows promise for enabling fast aerodynamic designs.
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
fy the anisotropy and componentiality of the flow at any scale. Using this the bubbles are found to significantly enhance flow anisotropy at all scales compared with the unladen case, and for some bubble cases, very strong anisotropy persists down to the smallest flow scales. The strongest anisotropy observed was for the cases involving small bubbles. Concerning the inter-scale energy transfer, our results indicate that for the bubble-laden cases, the energy transfer is from large to small scales, just as for the unladen case. However, there is evidence of an upscale transfer when considering the transfer of energy associated with particular components of the velocity field. Although the direction of the energy transfer is the same with and without the bubbles, the transfer is much stronger for the bubble-laden cases, suggesting that the bubbles play a strong role in enhancing the activity of the nonlinear term in the flow. The normalized forms of the fourth and sixth-order structure functions are also considered, and reveal that the introduction of bubbles into the flow strongly enhances intermittency in the dissipation range, but suppresses it at larger scales. This strong enhancement of the dissipation scale intermittency has significant implications for understanding how the bubbles might modify the mixing properties of turbulent flows.
In this paper, a high-order gas-kinetic scheme in general curvilinear coordinate (HGKS-cur) is developed for the numerical simulation of compressible turbulence. Based on the coordinate transformation, the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation is tran
sformed from physical space to computational space. To deal with the general mesh given by discretized points, the geometrical metrics need to be constructed by the dimension-by-dimension Lagrangian interpolation. The multidimensional weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) reconstruction is adopted in the computational domain for spatial accuracy, where the reconstructed variables are the cell averaged Jacobian and the Jacobian-weighted conservative variables. The two-stage fourth-order method, which was developed for spatial-temporal coupled flow solvers, is used for temporal discretization. The numerical examples for inviscid and laminar flows validate the accuracy and geometrical conservation law of HGKS-cur. As a direct application, HGKS-cur is implemented for the implicit large eddy simulation (iLES) in compressible wall-bounded turbulent flows, including the compressible turbulent channel flow and compressible turbulent flow over periodic hills. The iLES results with HGKS-cur are in good agreement with the refereed spectral methods and high-order finite volume methods. The performance of HGKS-cur demonstrates its capability as a powerful tool for the numerical simulation of compressible wall-bounded turbulent flows and massively separated flows.
Turbulent plane Poiseuille and Couette flows share the same geometry, but produce their flow rate owing to different external drivers, pressure gradient and shear respectively. By looking at integral energy fluxes, we pose and answer the question of
which flow performs better at creating flow rate. We define a flow {em efficiency}, that quantifies the fraction of power used to produce flow rate instead of being wasted as a turbulent overhead; {em effectiveness}, instead, describes the amount of flow rate produced by a given power. The work by Gatti emph{et al.} (emph{J. Fluid Mech.} vol.857, 2018, pp. 345--373), where the constant power input (CPI) concept was developed to compare turbulent Poiseuille flows with drag reduction, is here extended to compare different flows. By decomposing the mean velocity field into a laminar contribution and a deviation, analytical expressions are derived which are the energy-flux equivalents of the FIK identity. These concepts are applied to literature data supplemented by a new set of direct numerical simulations, to find that Couette flows are less efficient but more effective than Poiseuille ones. The reason is traced to the more effective laminar component of Couette flows, which compensates for their higher turbulent activity. It is also observed that, when the fluctuating fields of the two flows are fed with the same total power fraction, Couette flows dissipate a smaller percentage of it via turbulent dissipation. A decomposition of the fluctuating field into large and small scales explains this feature: Couette flows develop stronger large-scale structures, which alter the mean flow while contributing less significantly to dissipation.
We study numerically joint mixing of salt and colloids by a chaotic velocity field $mathbf{V}$, and how salt inhomogeneities accelerate or delay colloid mixing by inducing a velocity drift $mathbf{V}_{rm dp}$ between colloids and fluid particles as p
roposed in recent experiments cite{Deseigne2013}. We demonstrate that because the drift velocity is no longer divergence free, small variations to the total velocity field drastically affect the evolution of colloid variance $sigma^2=langle C^2 rangle - langle C rangle^2$. A consequence is that mixing strongly depends on the mutual coherence between colloid and salt concentration fields, the short time evolution of scalar variance being governed by a new variance production term $P=- langle C^2 abla cdot mathbf{V}_{rm dp} rangle/2$ when scalar gradients are not developed yet so that dissipation is weak. Depending on initial conditions, mixing is then delayed or enhanced, and it is possible to find examples for which the two regimes (fast mixing followed by slow mixing) are observed consecutively when the variance source term reverses its sign. This is indeed the case for localized patches modeled as gaussian concentration profiles.
