We study turbulent flows in a smooth straight pipe of circular cross--section up to $Re_{tau} approx 6000$ using direct--numerical-simulation (DNS) of the Navier--Stokes equations. The DNS results highlight systematic deviations from Prandtl friction law, amounting to about $2%$, which would extrapolate to about $4%$ at extreme Reynolds numbers. Data fitting of the DNS friction coefficient yields an estimated von Karman constant $k approx 0.387$, which nicely fits the mean velocity profile, and which supports universality of canonical wall-bounded flows. The same constant also applies to the pipe centerline velocity, thus providing support for the claim that the asymptotic state of pipe flow at extreme Reynolds numbers should be plug flow. At the Reynolds numbers under scrutiny, no evidence for saturation of the logarithmic growth of the inner peak of the axial velocity variance is found. Although no outer peak of the velocity variance directly emerges in our DNS, we provide strong evidence that it should appear at $Re_{tau} gtrsim 10^4$, as a result of turbulence production exceeding dissipation over a large part of the outer wall layer, thus invalidating the classical equilibrium hypothesis.

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.
For wall-bounded turbulent flows, Townsends attached eddy hypothesis proposes that the logarithmic layer is populated by a set of energetic and geometrically self-similar eddies. These eddies scale with a single length scale, their distance to the wa ll, while their velocity scale remains constant across their size range. To investigate the existence of such structures in fully developed turbulent pipe flow, stereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurements were performed in two parallel cross-sectional planes, spaced apart by a varying distance from 0 to 9.97$R$, for $Re_tau = 1310$, 2430 and 3810. The instantaneous turbulence structures are sorted by width using an azimuthal Fourier decomposition, allowing us to create a set of average eddy velocity profiles by performing an azimuthal alignment process. The resulting eddy profiles exhibit geometric self-similar behavior in the $(r,theta)$-plane for eddies with spanwise length scales ($lambda_theta/R$) spanning from 1.03 to 0.175. The streamwise similarity is further investigated using two-point correlations between the two planes, where the structures exhibit a self-similar behaviour with length scales ($lambda_theta/R$) ranging from approximately $0.88$ to $0.203$. The candidate structures thereby establish full three-dimensional geometrically self-similarity for structures with a volumetric ratio of $1:80$. Beside the geometric similarity, the velocity magnitude also exhibit self-similarity within these ranges. However, the velocity scale depends on eddy size, and follow the trends based on the scaling arguments proposed by cite{Perry1986}.
Local dissipation scales are a manifestation of the intermittent small-scale nature of turbulence. We report the first experimental evaluation of the distribution of local dissipation scales in turbulent pipe flows for a range of Reynolds numbers, 2. 4x10^4<=Re_D<=7.0x10^4. Our measurements at the nearly isotropic pipe centerline and within the anisotropic logarithmic layer show excellent agreement with distributions that were previously calculated from numerical simulations of homogeneous isotropic box turbulence and with those predicted by theory. The reported results suggest a universality of the smallest-scale fluctuations around the classical Kolmogorov dissipation length.
Using various techniques from dynamical systems theory, we rigorously study an experimentally validated model by [Barkley et al., Nature, 526:550-553, 2015], which describes the rise of turbulent pipe flow via a PDE system of reduced complexity. The fast evolution of turbulence is governed by reaction-diffusion dynamics coupled to the centerline velocity, which evolves with advection of Burgers type and a slow relaminarization term. Applying to this model a spatial dynamics ansatz and geometric singular perturbation theory, we prove the existence of a heteroclinic loop between a turbulent and a laminar steady state and establish a cascade of bifurcations of various traveling waves mediating the transition to turbulence. The most complicated behaviour can be found in an intermediate Reynolds number regime, where the traveling waves exhibit arbitrarily long periodic-like dynamics indicating the onset of chaos. Our analysis provides a systematic mathematical approach to identifying the transition to spatio-temporal turbulent structures that may also be applicable to other models arising in fluid dynamics.

This paper presents a method for calculating the wall shear rate in pipe turbulent flow. It collapses adequately the data measured in laminar flow and turbulent flow into a single flow curve and gives the basis for the design of turbulent flow viscom eters. Key words: non-Newtonian, wall shear rate, turbulent, rheometer
