Recent developments in the physics and modeling of interfacial layers between regions with
different turbulent intensities are reviewed. The flow dynamics across these layers governs …

The performance of the dynamic subgrid-scale eddy-viscosity model and the suitability of
high-order accurate, upwind-biased numerical methods for large-eddy simulations of …

The velocity fields of a turbulent wake behind a flat plate obtained from the direct numerical
simulations of Moser et al.(1998) are used to study the structure of the flow in the intermittent …

Conditionally sampled measurements with particle image velocimetry (PIV) of a turbulent
round submerged liquid jet in a laboratory have been taken at Re= 2× 103 between 60 and …

New theoretical results and physical interpretations are presented concerning the
interactions between different types of velocity fields that are separated by thin interfacial …

It has been recognized for some years that the bursting phenomenon is a common feature of
turbulent boundary layers irrespective of wall roughness condition. In confirmation of …

The turbulent/non-turbulent interface is analysed in a direct numerical simulation of a
boundary layer in the Reynolds number range, with emphasis on the behaviour of the …

Hot-wire anemometry has been used in the intermediate wake (x/d= 10 to 40) of a slightly
heated circular cylinder in order to quantify the contribution from the coherent motion to …

Recent research is making progress in framing more precisely the basic dynamical and
statistical questions about turbulence and in answering them. It is helping both to define the …

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of temporally evolving shear layers have been
performed to study the entrainment of irrotational flow into the turbulent region across the …
