Zs. Zhang et al., FLOW PATTERNS AND DISSIPATION OF TURBULENT KINETIC-ENERGY IN NEAR-WALL TURBULENCE, Chinese Science Bulletin, 43(2), 1998, pp. 117-120
It is disclosed the flow patterns of turbulent flows in near wall regi
on by means of topological analysis. It has found that there exists a
close relationship between the topological characteristics and the spi
kes which are dominated by the strong normal velocity fluctuations nea
r the wall. It is also shown that the dissipation of turbulent kinetic
energy is closely related to the spike events.
