NCAR Workshop May 29, 2008 Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Flow University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Wall turbulence Refers to a broad class of turbulent flows bounded by a surface: –Atmospheric boundary layer –Boundary layer on ocean floor –Flows over aircraft, ships, submarines, etc. –Flows over turbine blades, blades of windmills, etc. These flows are extremely difficult to study both experimentally and computationally. –As such, the simplest (canonical) cases have received the vast majority of research attention despite most practical flows of interest occurring in the presence of significantly more complexity. High Reynolds numbers (Re) Other influences: Surface roughness, pressure gradients, curvature, free- stream effects, multiple phases, buoyancy, etc. Coherent structures play a pivotal role in the evolution of such flows.

NCAR Workshop May 29, 2008 Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Flow University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Assessing the importance of underlying structure It is now well established that an underlying structural foundation exists in wall-bounded turbulent flows. –What role do these structures play in the turbulence statistics (single- as well as multi-point)? –What are the basic characteristics of this organization? –What role might this structural foundation play in turbulence modeling and control? Challenges –Structures must be effectively extracted from the background turbulence. Galilean decomposition (visualization in the reference frame of structure) Local vortex markers –Analysis methodologies must be devised to study their importance and impact on the overall flow. Spatial correlations Conditional averaging

NCAR Workshop May 29, 2008 Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Flow University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Vortex identification: Swirling strength ( ci ) Swirling strength ( ci ) is the imaginary portion of the complex conjugate eigenvalues of the local velocity gradient tensor (Zhou et al., 1999; Chakraborty et al., 2005). –Unambiguous measure of rotation –Frame independent –Unlike vorticity, does not identify regions of intense shear For planar velocity data, one must employ a 2D version of the local velocity gradient tensor. –Will have either 2 real or a complex-conjugate pair of eigenvalues

NCAR Workshop May 29, 2008 Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Flow University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Statistical imprints of structure Do hairpin vortices and their organization into larger-scale vortex packets leave their imprint upon the spatial statistics of wall turbulence? –Patterns must occur often. –Characteristics must not vary appreciably in order to survive the averaging process.

NCAR Workshop May 29, 2008 Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Flow University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Another example: Large-eddy simulation (LES) IDEA: Only resolve a subset of the dynamically-important spatial scales in order to reduce the overall cost of the computation. –Larger scales are solved for directly while the smaller scales are modeled in some fashion. –One can run an LES at a much higher Re for the same cost as a lower-Re direct numerical simulation (DNS). Implementation –Equations of motion are low-pass filtered, yielding a set of “filtered” equations for the resolved scales. Difficulties –One must define a spatial-scale boundary between the resolved and unresolved scales as well as an appropriate filtering methodology. –The influence of the smaller (unresolved) scales on the evolution of the larger (resolved) scales must be modeled. –What role do hairpin vortex packets play in SGS physics?

NCAR Workshop May 29, 2008 Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Flow University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Forward scatter around a hairpin head is coincident with the ejection induced by the vortex due to. The most intense forward scatter is observed via additional contributions from when this ejection is countered by a sweep event which collectively generate an inclined shear layer. In addition to the localized backscatter observed upstream/above and downstream/below each hairpin head, the most intense backscatter is observed at the trailing end of a hairpin vortex packet, particularly when a second packet is observed upstream. is the dominant contributor to backscatter events.

NCAR Workshop May 29, 2008 Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Flow University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Summary Whatever the experimental/computational protocol employed, identification of coherent structures in data is pivotal to understanding the evolution of turbulent flows. Robust identification methodology must be applied –“Quality” of data can impact choice Once structures are identified, key challenge lies in extracting their influence and importance. –Success tightly coupled to clarity of goals –Conditional averaging methods can be extremely helpful in this regard –Key is choosing appropriate averaging conditions
