A study of intermittency and drag reduction in turbulence by dynamic laser light scattering

A study of intermittency and drag reduction in turbulence by dynamic laser light scattering  We investigate the intermittent nature of turbulence and the phenomenon of turbulent drag reduction by linear, flexible high molecular weight polymers using Photon Correlation Spectroscopy. Our results support the existence of small scale coherent structures and inactive regions in turbulent flows. We further investigate turbulent drag reduction whereby polymer-eddy interaction result in the modification of the turbulent energy cascade. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Experiments in Fluids Springer Journals

Abstract

 We investigate the intermittent nature of turbulence and the phenomenon of turbulent drag reduction by linear, flexible high molecular weight polymers using Photon Correlation Spectroscopy. Our results support the existence of small scale coherent structures and inactive regions in turbulent flows. We further investigate turbulent drag reduction whereby polymer-eddy interaction result in the modification of the turbulent energy cascade.
