Abstract: In this paper the issue of the coherent structures of turbulence developing in wall-bounded flows is addressed. After a short historical synthesis, some basic concepts are reviewed and the idea ...

Abstract: The direct numerical simulation of turbulence (DNS) has become a method of outmost importance for the investigation of turbulence physics, and its relevance is constantly growing due to the ...

Abstract: The approach of Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (RANS) for the modeling of turbulent flows is reviewed. The subject is mainly considered in the limit of incompressible flows with constant ...

Abstract: The hydraulics of ski jumps is an issue of utmost importance in dam construction, the former being in practice the only existing solution as related to the dissipation of energy from high-speed spillway flows. Despite the ...
