The resilience of the logarithmic law to pressure gradients: evidence from direct numerical simulation

Wall-bounded turbulence in pressure gradients is studied using direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a Couette-Poiseuille flow. The motivation is to include adverse pressure gradients, to complement the favourable ones present in the well-studied Poiseuille flow, and the central question is how the s...
