Round Table, Wednesday 28Chairman: Z.Warhaft Few notes: • Slide 2. John Lumley told me he wrote this. • Slide 4. Right hand graph shows the lack of precision of pre-factors in Lagrangian measurements (in this case a_0). We need to know these with more precision. • Slide 5. Lack of inertial subrange in Lagrangian measurements means we have to measure to very, very high Re. • Slide 6. We need to measure Lagrangian statistics in more complex flows. Here are measurements in a boundary layer. • Slide 7. And we need to understand about the interaction of two or more dominant scales (as you know well!). Here is the interaction of free stream turbulence (low wave number peak) and a turbulent boundary layer (high wave number peak). • Slide 8. As for 6. Flow through a contraction produces two scales. Here the effect only becomes clear at high Re. So we need to look at these more complex flows at high Re.
We believe that even after 100 years, turbulence studies are still in their infancy. We are naturalists, observing butterflies in the wild. We are still discovering how turbulence behaves, in many respects. We do have a crude , practical, working understanding of many turbulence phenomena but certainly nothing approaching a comprehensive theory, and nothing that will provide predictions of an accuracy demanded by designers.

Some issues of interest: Large Reynolds numbers: Lagrangian experiments. Study of variable constants !! Out of the box: advanced diagnostics for complex flows: interaction of more than one length scale.
