Introduction Turbulence cannot exist by itself, however; it requires a continuous supply of energy& changes in velocity& direction .
Objective • The Definition of turbulence • Examples of turbulence • Boundary layer • Study Reynolds numbers • Study the differential continuity equation • Study Navier-Stocks equation • Kolmogorov theory • Laminar-turbulent transition Problems of turbulence
Definition & properties It is a flow with disordered in time & space . 1-three-dimensionality. 2-Unsteadiness. 3-strong vorticity. 4-Unpredictability. 5-Broad spectrum.
Reynolds number 1. inertia forces 2. viscous forces 1. ρ u2 ,ρ: fluid density ,u : fluid speed 2. μ u , μ: viscous fluid , d : diameter fluid d
So that Reynolds number depend on fluid properties as ; speed , pipe diameter ,viscosity & density .
Random pipe Re
Laminar-turbulent transition . • Linear stability theory . • Primary instability of free shear flow . • Later stage of transition in free shear flows .
Continuity equation The conservation of mass principle is applied to the control volume
Continuity equation For three dimension (our interest ) z Δz y Δy Δx x = uxî + uyў +uzќ
Navier-stokes equation the momentum translate with tow ways & tow forces ways • Convection transition • Molecular transition forces 1.Gravity force 2.Pressure force
Forces 1.Gravity force Pressure force
Molecular transition Shear stress
Kolmogorov theory • The physics of turbulence is the same in all turbulent system . • It is independent of large scale forcing & small scale dissipative • Fluctuation occur in an incompressible medium-density 4.Energy flows from large scales to small scales .
laminar flow (average speed) turbulent pressure (drop)
Later stage of transition in free shear flows . Some vorticity remains between the vortices , we will call it {secondary instability} .
