Abstract
With a transverse array of channels of equal widths but differing resistances, we have generated an improved approximation to spatially homogeneous turbulent shear flow. The scales continue to grow with downstream distance, even in a region where the mean velocity gradient and one-point turbulence moments (component energies and shear stress) have attained essentially constant values. This implies asymptotic non-stationarity in the basic Eulerian frame convected with the mean flow, behaviour which seems to be inherent to homogeneous turbulent shear flow.Two-point velocity correlations with space separation and with space-time separation yield characteristic departures from isotropy, including clear ‘upstream–downstream’ unsymmetries which cannot be classified simply as axis tilting of ellipse-like iso-correlation contours.The high wave-number structure is roughly locally isotropic although the turbulence Reynolds number based on Taylor ‘microscale’ and r.m.s. turbulent velocity is only 130. Departures from isotropy in the turbulent velocity gradient moments are measurable.The approximation to homogeneity permits direct estimation of all components of the turbulent pressure/velocity-gradient tensor, which accounts for inter-component energy transfer and helps to regulate the turbulent shear stress. It is found that its principal axes are aligned with those of the Reynolds stress tensor. Finally, the Rotta (1951, 1962) linear hypothesis for intercomponent energy transfer rate is roughly confirmed.
