Gravity currents modify their flow characteristics by entraining ambient fluid, which depends on a variety of governing parameters such as the initial density, $\Delta \rho$, the total initial height of the fluid, $H$, and the slope of the…
We present experimental measurements of a wall-bounded gravity current, motivated by characterizing natural gravity currents such as oceanic overflows. We use particle image velocimetry and planar laser-induced fluorescence to…
An experiment was performed using SPIV in the LMFL boundary layer facility to determine all the derivative moments needed to estimate the average dissipation rate of the turbulence kinetic energy, $\varepsilon = 2 \nu \langle s_{ij}s_{ij}…
We consider turbulence driven by a large-scale horizontal shear in Kolmogorov flow (i.e. with sinusoidal body forcing) and a background linear stable stratification with buoyancy frequency $N_B^2$ imposed in the third, vertical direction in…
We study the experimental properties of exchange flows in a stratified inclined duct (SID), which are simultaneously turbulent, strongly stratified by a mean vertical density gradient, driven by a mean vertical shear, and continuously…
An SPIV experiment using two orthogonal planes simultaneously was performed in the LML boundary layer facility to specifically measure all of the derivative moments needed to estimate the dissipation rate of the Turbulence Kinetic Energy.…
In this paper, the physics of flow instability and turbulent transition in shear flows is studied by analyzing the energy variation of fluid particles under the interaction of base flow with a disturbance. For the first time, a model…
We investigate three-dimensional turbulence in a stably stratified fluid driven by a vertically sheared Kolmogorov flow using direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations. As stratification increases, mean profiles evolve toward…
In this paper, we investigate the relations between global and local energy transfers in a turbulent von K\'arm\'an flow. The goal is to understand how and where energy is dissipated in such a flow and to reconstruct the energy cycle in an…
Turbulence -- ubiquitous in nature and engineering alike [1-5] -- is traditionally viewed as an intrinsically inertial phenomenon, emerging only when the Reynolds number (Re), which quantifies the ratio of inertial to dissipative forces…
In this Part 2 we study further experimental properties of two-layer exchange flows in a stratified inclined duct (SID), which are turbulent, strongly-stratified, shear-driven, and continuously-forced. We analyse the same state-of-the-art…
We explore the dynamics of inclined temporal gravity currents using direct numerical simulation, and find that the current creates an environment in which the flux Richardson number $Ri_f$, gradient Richardson number $Ri_g$, and turbulent…
We present an experimental study of the mixing processes in a gravity current flowing on an inclined plane. The turbulent transport of momentum and density can be described in a very direct and compact form by a Prandtl mixing length model:…
Pore-scale observation of vortical flow structures in porous media is a significant challenge in many natural and industrial systems. Vortical structure dynamics is believed to be the driving mechanism in the transition regime in porous…
The shape of the turbulent energy spectrum in the dissipation range, where viscous effects dominate, remains an open question despite decades of work. We report an experimental investigation of intermediate dissipation range energy spectra…
The nonequilibrium dissipation behaviour discovered for decaying fractal square grid-generated turbulence is experimentally investigated using hot-wire anemometry in a wind tunnel. The previous results are consolidated and benchmarked with…
This paper investigates the Reynolds number dependence of a turbulent mixing layer evolving from the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability using a series of direct numerical simulations of a well-defined narrowband initial condition for a range of…
The mean momentum and heavy mass fraction, turbulent kinetic energy, and heavy mass fraction variance fields, as well as the budgets of their transport equations, are examined at several times during the evolution of a narrowband…
Data available in literature from direct numerical simulations of two-dimensional turbulent channels by Lee & Moser (2015), Bernardini et al. (2014), Yamamoto and Tsuji (2018) and Orlandi et al. (2015) in a large range of Reynolds number…
Simultaneous two-phase particle image/tracking velocimetry (PIV/PTV) measurement is conducted on particle-laden turbulent boundary layer (TBL) over a horizontal smooth-flat-plate. The relatively high Reynolds number (Re{\tau}=5500 based on…
