Robust estimators for turbulence properties assessment

Fluid Dynamics 2023-07-13 v1

Abstract

Robust estimators and different filtering techniques are proposed and their impact on the determination of a wide range of turbulence quantities is analysed. High-frequency water level measurements in a stepped spillway are used as a case study. The studied variables contemplated: the expected free surface level, the expected fluctuation intensity, the depth skewness, the autocorrelation timescales, the vertical velocity fluctuation intensity, the perturbations celerity and the one-dimensional free surface turbulence spectrum. When compared to classic techniques, the robust estimators allowed a more accurate prediction of turbulence quantities notwithstanding the filtering technique used.
