Dynamics of Vortices in Numerically Simulated Turbulent Channel Flow

Dynamics of Vortices in Numerically Simulated Turbulent Channel Flow

abstract: The evolution of single hairpin vortices and multiple interacting hairpin vortices are studied in direct numerical simulations of channel flow at Re-tau=395. The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of increased Reynolds number and varying initial conditions on the growth of hai...
