We present numerical solutions to the extended Doering-Constantin variational principle for upper bounds on the energy dissipation rate in turbulent plane Couette flow. Using the compound matrix technique in order to reformulate this…
We extend the Doering-Constantin approach to upper bounds on energy dissipation in turbulent flows by introducing a balance parameter into the variational principle. This parameter governs the relative weight of different contributions to…
Variational turbulence is among the few approaches providing rigorous results in turbulence. In addition, it addresses a question of direct practical interest, namely the rate of energy dissipation. Unfortunately, only an upper bound is…
A new variational problem for upper bounds on the rate of energy dissipation in body-forced shear flows is formulated by including a balance parameter in the derivation from the Navier-Stokes equations. The resulting min-max problem is…
We study the problem of body-force driven shear flows in a plane channel of width l with free-slip boundaries. A mini-max variational problem for upper bounds on the bulk time averaged energy dissipation rate epsilon is derived from the…
The background method is adapted to derive rigorous limits on surface speeds and bulk energy dissipation for shear stress driven flow in two and three dimensional channels. By-products of the analysis are nonlinear energy stability results…
Bounds on turbulent averages in shear flows can be derived from the Navier--Stokes equations by a mathematical approach called the background method. Bounds that are optimal within this method can be computed at each Reynolds number Re by…
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}…
The evolution with Reynolds number of the dissipation function, normalized by wall variables, is investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS) databases for incompressible turbulent Poiseuille flow in a plane channel, at friction…
The normal-mode analysis of the Reynolds-Orr energy equation governing the stability of viscous motion for general three-dimensional disturbances has been revisited. The energy equation has been solved as an unconstrained minimization…
Extreme dissipation events in turbulent flows are rare, but they can be orders of magnitude stronger than the mean dissipation rate. Despite its importance in many small-scale physical processes, there is presently no accurate theory or…
This paper is concerned with the optimal upper bound on mean quantities (torque, dissipation and the Nusselt number) obtained in the framework of the background method for the Taylor--Couette flow with a stationary outer cylinder. Along the…
We present a new rigorous method for estimating statistical quantities in fluid dynamics such as the (average) energy dissipation rate directly from the equations of motion. The method is tested on shear flow, channel flow,…
Intermittency of energy dissipation has long been studied via high-order moments in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, but not much where the boundary effects are explicitly included. Here, we derive two fundamental Reynolds number…
Shearing and rotational forces in fluids can significantly alter the transport of momentum.A numerical investigation was undertaken to study the role of these forces using plane Couette flow subject to rotation about an axis perpendicular…
The rate of energy dissipation in solutions of the body-forced 3-d incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is rigorously estimated with a focus on its dependence on the nature of the driving force. For square integrable body forces the high…
A qualitative explanation for the scaling of energy dissipation by high Reynolds number fluid flows in contact with solid obstacles is proposed in the light of recent mathematical and numerical results. Asymptotic analysis suggests that it…
Low Reynolds number turbulence in wall-bounded shear flows \emph{en route} to laminar flow takes the form of oblique, spatially-intermittent turbulent structures. In plane Couette flow, these emerge from uniform turbulence via a…
A popular method of forcing the fluid in Direct Numerical Simulations of turbulence is to take the body force proportional to the projection of the velocity of the fluid onto its lowest Fourier modes, while keeping the injected external…
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…
