Anisotropy and asymmetry in fully developed turbulence

Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics 2007-05-23 v1 Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

Using experimental longitudinal and transverse velocities data for very high Reynolds number turbulence, we study both anisotropy and asymmetry of turbulence. These both seem to be related to small scale turbulent structures, and to intermittency. We may assume that the large scale velocity shear gives an impact into the small scale turbulence, resulting in non-locality, and related anomalous events.
