Incorporation of the effects of accelerating flow in the design of granular bed protections

For the design of granular bed protections often a stability parameter is used. The stability parameter represents the forces that are acting on the stones and is used to predict the response of the bed to these forces. Existing parameters are often derived for a limited range of application. When the parameter is used outside this range, the...

Random Taylor hypothesis and the behavior of local and convective accelerations in isotropic turbulence

The properties of acceleration fluctuations in isotropic turbulence are studied in direct numerical simulations (DNS) by decomposing the acceleration as the sum of local and convective contributions (aL = ?u/?t and aC = u??u), or alternatively as the sum of irrotational and solenoidal contributions [aI = ??(p/?) and aS = ??2u]. The main emphasis...
