Coherent Structures in Wall-bounded Turbulence (COTURB)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2021,

Turbulence is a multiscale phenomenon for which control efforts have often failed because the dimension of the attractor is large. However, kinetic energy and drag are controlled by relatively few slowly evolving large structures that sit on top of a multiscale cascade of smaller eddies. They are essentially single-scale phenomena whose evolution can be described using less information than for th ...
