The transport of energy, mass, and momentum in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is regulated by coherent structures. Although past studies have primarily focused on stationary ABL flows, the majority of real-world ABL flows are…
The vectoral wind structure of daytime atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) turbulence is strongly dependent on the balance between shear-driven turbulence production of horizontal fluctuations (driven by winds at the mesoscale), and…
Two direct numerical simulation (DNS) databases are investigated to understand the effect of the outer-layer turbulence on the inner layer's structures and energy transfer mechanisms. The first DNS database is the non-equilibrium…
A combination of methods originating from non-stationary timeseries analysis is applied to two datasets of near surface turbulence in order to gain insights on the non-stationary enhancement mechanism of intermittent turbulence in the…
The prediction of turbulent boundary layer (TBL) flow over a convex surface as in aircraft wings or gas turbine blades is a challenging problem. Finding a universal scaling law of turbulence statistics of TBLs over a wide range of adverse…
At large scales, the Reynolds stress tensor exhibits notable anisotropy, a key feature of all wall-bounded turbulent flows. Yet, how the drivers of this anisotropy evolve with shearing and thermal stratification in the atmospheric surface…
Knowledge of turbulent flows over non-flat surfaces is of major practical interest in diverse applications. Significant work continues to be reported in the roughness regime at high Reynolds numbers where the cumulative effect of surface…
In the context of subaqueous ripple and dune formation, we present here a Reynolds averaged calculation of the turbulent flow over a topography. We perform a weakly non-linear expansion of the velocity field, sufficiently accurate to…
When turbulent boundary layer flows encounter abrupt roughness changes, an Internal Boundary Layer (IBL) forms. Equilibrium theory breaks down in the nonequilibrium IBL, which may extend O(10) km for natural atmospheric flows. Here, we find…
We investigate a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) with uniform pressure force variations, focusing on understanding its response to local pressure force, local pressure force variation (local disequilibrating effect), and upstream history.…
The convection velocity ($U_C$) of turbulent structures has been studied in adverse-pressure-gradient (APG) turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) for a wide range of Reynolds numbers $Re_\tau = 1400 - 4000$. The study is based on estimation of…
This study explores experimentally the turbulent flow in a laboratory flume, interacting with waves propagated against the flow. It focuses a region of wave-blocking for which there is a streamwise location on the water surface, where the…
The transitional regime of plane channel flow is investigated {above} the transitional point below which turbulence is not sustained, using direct numerical simulation in large domains. Statistics of laminar-turbulent spatio-temporal…
We report experimental evidence of an Eulerian-mean flow, $\overline{u}(z)$, created by the interaction of surface waves and tailored ambient sub-surface turbulence, which partly cancels the Stokes drift, $u_s(z)$, and present supporting…
Abrupt transition to turbulence may occur in pipe and channel flows at moderate flow rates, an unexpected event according to linear stability theory, and has been an open problem in fluid dynamics for more than a century. Extensive…
The turbulent boundary layer (TBL) development over an air cavity is experimentally studied using planar particle image velocimetry. The present flow, representative of those typically encountered in ship air lubrication, resembles the…
This paper reports turbulent boundary layer measurements made over open-cell reticulated foams with varying pore size and thickness, but constant porosity ($\epsilon \approx 0.97$). The foams were flush-mounted into a cutout on a flat…
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…
Regimes of interactions between motions on different time-scales are investigated in the FLOSSII dataset for nocturnal near-surface stable boundary layer (SBL) turbulence. The non-stationary response of turbulent vertical velocity variance…
A neutral boundary layer was generated in the laboratory to analyze the mean velocity field and the turbulence field within and above an array of two-dimensional obstacles simulating an urban canopy. Different geometrical configurations…
