| Title: | Wavelet multiresolution analysis of the three vorticity components in a turbulent far wake | Authors: | Zhou, T Rinoshika, A Hao, Z Zhou, Y Chua, LP |
Issue Date: | 9-Mar-2006 | Source: | Physical review.

The three vorticity components were measured simultaneously using an eight-wire probe at three Reynolds numbers, namely 2000, 4000, and 6000. It is found that the dominant contributions to the vorticity variances are from the intermediate and relatively small-scale structures. The contributions from the large and intermediate-scale structures to the vorticity variances decrease with the increase of Reynolds number. The contributions from the small-scale structures to all three vorticity variances jump significantly when Reynolds number is changed from 2000 to 4000, which is connected to previous observations in the near wake that there is a significant increase in the generation of small-scale structures once the Reynolds number reaches about 5000. This result reinforces the conception that turbulence “remembers” its origin. | Keywords: | Resonance Reynolds number Turbulent flow Vortex flow Wakes |
