The past two decades (approximately 1990 to 2010) have witnessed an ever-quickening
pace of new findings pertaining to the Reynolds number dependencies, scaling, and …

One-dimensional energy spectra in flat plate zero pressure gradient boundary layers and
pipe flows are examined over a wide range of Reynolds numbers (), which appears to …

A new scaling of the mean momentum equation is developed for the outer region of
turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) under adverse pressure gradient (APG). The maximum …

Elements of the first-principles-based theory of Wei et al.(J. Fluid Mech., vol. 522, 2005, p.
303), Fife et al.(Multiscale Model. Simul., vol. 4, 2005a, p. 936; J. Fluid Mech., vol. 532 …

This study investigates how and why dynamical self-similarities emerge with increasing
Reynolds number within the canonical wall flows beyond the transitional regime. An …

Recent studies by the present authors have empirically and analytically explored the
properties and scaling behaviours of the Reynolds averaged momentum equation as …

A commonplace view of pressure-driven turbulence in pipes and channels is as “cascades”
of streamwise momentum toward the viscous layer at the wall. We present in this paper an …

The inverse of the von Kármán constant κ is the leading coefficient in the equation
describing the logarithmic mean velocity profile in wall bounded turbulent flows. Klewicki [J …

A depiction of the mean and fluctuating vorticity structure in turbulent wall flows is presented
and described within the context of the self-similar properties admitted by the mean …
