The phenomenology of small-scale turbulence

KR Sreenivasan, RA Antonia - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 1997 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract I have sometimes thought that what makes a man's work classic is often just this
multiplicity [of interpretations], which invites and at the same time resists our craving for a …

Particle-turbulence interactions in atmospheric clouds

RA Shaw - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2003 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Turbulence is ubiquitous in atmospheric clouds, which have enormous turbulence
Reynolds numbers owing to the large range of spatial scales present. Indeed, the ratio of …

The motion of high-Reynolds-number bubbles in inhomogeneous flows

J Magnaudet, I Eames - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2000 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Predicting the motion of bubbles in dispersed flows is a key problem in fluid
mechanics that has a bearing on a wide range of applications from oceanography to …

Time-resolved evolution of coherent structures in turbulent channels: characterization of eddies and cascades

A Lozano-Durán, J Jiménez - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
A novel approach to the study of the kinematics and dynamics of turbulent flows is
presented. The method involves tracking in time coherent structures, and provides all of the …

Measurement of particle accelerations in fully developed turbulence

GA Voth, A La Porta, AM Crawford… - Journal of Fluid …, 2002 - cambridge.org
We use silicon strip detectors (originally developed for the CLEO III high-energy particle
physics experiment) to measure fluid particle trajectories in turbulence with temporal …

Molecular transport effects on turbulent flame propagation and structure

AN Lipatnikov, J Chomiak - Progress in energy and combustion science, 2005 - Elsevier
Various experimental and DNS data show that premixed combustion is affected by the
differences between the coefficients of molecular transport of fuel, oxidant, and heat not only …

Development of anode catalysts for a direct ethanol fuel cell

F Vigier, C Coutanceau, A Perrard, EM Belgsir… - Journal of Applied …, 2004 - Springer
Ethanol electrooxidation was investigated at platinum based electrodes: Pt, Pt—Sn, Pt—Re

Cooperative elliptic instability of a vortex pair

T Leweke, CHK Williamson - Journal of fluid mechanics, 1998 - cambridge.org
In this paper, we investigate the three-dimensional instability of a counter-rotating vortex pair
to short waves, which are of the order of the vortex core size, and less than the inter-vortex …

Turbulent channel flow near maximum drag reduction: simulations, experiments and mechanisms

PK Ptasinski, BJ Boersma, FTM Nieuwstadt… - Journal of Fluid …, 2003 - cambridge.org
It is well known that the drag in a turbulent flow of a polymer solution is significantly reduced
compared to Newtonian flow. Here we consider this phenomenon by means of a direct …
