Structural similarity in radial correlations and spectra of longitudinal velocity fluctuations in pipe flow

The paper describes correlation measurements in both broad and narrow frequency bands of the longitudinal velocity fluctuations in fully developed pipe flow at four positions for a reference probe whilst a second probe was traversed radially from deep in the sublayer to a position near the axis with...

description The paper describes correlation measurements in both broad and narrow frequency bands of the longitudinal velocity fluctuations in fully developed pipe flow at four positions for a reference probe whilst a second probe was traversed radially from deep in the sublayer to a position near the axis with both longitudinal and transverse separations zero (Δx = Δz = 0). Such measurements require that both the Covariant (Co) and Quadrature (Quad) correlations be determined for each of the 15 frequencies used to constrain the wave component λx. The new data demonstrate that low frequency, large scale turbulence fluctuations extend over the majority of the radial region and that these components are highly correlated. By using a similarity variable kxy, along with a normalized wall distance y/y REF, both correlation functions, i.e. the Co and the Quad components, are shown to collapse. The physical significance of this is discussed. The broad-band data do not collapse because of the large range of wave sizes. However, the present experiment does show that strong radial correlations exist even when one probe is at y+ = 1. This conflicts with the earlier data of Favre, but agrees with the more recent work of Comte-Bellot. There is a significant amount of turbulent energy in frequencies less than 16 Hz (ω+ = 0·008) for turbulent flows of about 105 Reynolds number. The spectral function ωΦ(ω) is also presented for a range of y+ values. Using this form for the power spectral density, along with the stochastic wave modelling and similarity arguments of this paper, it is shown how a consistent explanation for the behaviour of these spectra is obtained. In addition some preliminary results from cross-spectral analyses are presented and suggestions made as to their physical significance.
