The colour of turbulence and the attached eddy hypothesis

该项目旨在促进对壁面边界湍流的理解。这些湍流流动在自然界和工程系统中普遍存在，直接影响大气中的扩散和陆海空交通工具的能源消耗。由于缺乏对壁面湍流结构的验证理论模型，对这些湍流的理解一直受到限制。通过将前所未有的实验与新的动力系统方法相结合，该项目将能够开发有效的湍流控制策略，提高广泛应用的生产率。这项研究的结果将使具有预测能力的模型能够设计湍流控制方案。

This project aims to progress understanding of wall-bounded turbulence. These turbulent fluid flows are ubiquitous in nature and in engineering systems, directly affecting dispersion in the atmosphere and the energy consumption of land, sea and air vehicles. The understanding of these turbulent flows has been limited by a lack of verified theoretical models for the structure of wall turbulence. By combining unprecedented experiments with a novel dynamical systems approach, this project will enable development of effective turbulence control strategies, enhancing productivity in a wide range of applications. The findings of the research will enable models with predictive capability to design turbulence control schemes.
