Coherent structures in marginally turbulent square duct flow Uhlmann, Markus Pinelli, Alfredo Sekimoto, Atshushi Kawahara, Genta Kaneda, Yukio Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Computational Physics and New Perspectives in Turbulence, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan, September, 11-14, 2006 Direct numerical simulation of fully developed turbulent flow in a straight square duct was performed in order to determine the minimal requirements for self-sustaining turbulence. It was found that turbulence can be maintained for values of the bulk Reynolds number above approximately 1100, corresponding to a friction-velocity-based Reynolds number of 80. The minimum value for the streamwise period of the computational domain measures around 190 wall units, roughly independently of the Reynolds number. Furthermore, we present a characterization of the marginal state, where coherent structures are found to have significant relevance to the appearance of secondary flow of Prandtl’s second kind. 2023-06-20T13:39:40Z 2023-06-20T13:39:40Z 2008 book part 978-1-4020-6471-5 10.1007/978-1-4020-6472-2_21 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/53265 http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4020-6472-2_21 http://www.springer.com/ IUTAM Bookseries metadata only access Springer
