Multiscale structure of turbulent channel flow and polymer, dynamics in viscoelastic turbulence
This thesis focuses on two important issues in turbulence theory of wall-bounded flows. One is the recent debate on the form of the mean velocity profile (is it a log-law or a power-law with very weak power exponent?) and on its scalings with Reynolds number. In particular, this study relates the me...
