Mode-to-mode nonlinear energy transfer in turbulent channel flows

J Ding, D Chung, SJ Illingworth - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2025 - cambridge.org
We investigate nonlinear energy transfer for channel flows at friction Reynolds numbers. The
key feature of the analysis is that we quantify the energy transferred from a source mode to a …

Revealing Structure and Symmetry of Nonlinearity in Natural and Engineering Flows

B Yeung, T Chu, OT Schmidt - arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.12057, 2024 - arxiv.org
Energy transfer across scales is fundamental in fluid dynamics, linking large-scale flow
motions to small-scale turbulent structures in engineering and natural environments. Triadic …
