  2. 1. On Turbulent Wall Jets

    Author : Hans Abrahamsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self-preservation; similarity theory; scaling laws; local flow reversals; high turbulence levels; turbulent kinetic energy budget; two-dimensional; turbulent; hot-wire anemometry; wall jet; three-dimensional; pulsed hot-wire anemometry;

    Abstract : An experimental investigation of the two- and three-dimensional turbulent wall jets has been conducted. The measurements have been performed using different hot-wire techniques in large scale wall jet facilities, and the measurements were focused on the fully-developed region of the flow. READ MORE

  4. 2. Statistical Aspects of Diffusion in Turbulent Plasmas

    Author : Igor Holod; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; turbulent diffusion; fluctuations; fluid closure; Fokker-Plack equation; non-Markovian effects;

    Abstract : In this work we address the closure issue in kinetic and fluid descriptions of turbulent plasmas. In fluid description contribution has been made to the nonlinear closure by Mattor and Parker [Phys. Rev. Lett. READ MORE

  6. 4. Inertial collisions in random flows

    Author : Kristian Gustafsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Collisions; nonlinear dynamical systems; particles and aerosols; random processes; suspensions; turbulent diffusion; turbulent flows;

    Abstract : In nature, suspensions of small particles in fluids are common. An important example are rain droplets suspended in turbulent clouds. Such clouds can start to rain very quickly and the reason for this is still not fully explained, but it is believed that the turbulent motion in the cloud plays an important role. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on Diesel sprays under non-reacting and reacting conditions
