Evolution of velocity and scalar gradients in a spatially developing turbulence

This thesis investigates three major topics for a spatially developing turbulence using direct numerical simulations. The subjects of this study are: (i) velocity gradients in fluid turbulence, (ii) temperature gradients in scalar turbulence and (iii) heat transfer from a cylinder due to free-stream...
