Effects of Body Forces on Turbulence

Invited paper given at the 5th European Turbulence Conference, Siena, Italy, July 5–8th 1994

  • Conference paper
Book cover Advances in Turbulence V

Part of the book series: Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications ((FMIA,volume 24))

Abstract

The problem is to discuss how turbulence is generated, modified or diminished by variations of rotational body forces f acting within a fluid of density ρ (with velocity u*= U + u, where U is the ensemble mean, which may be time varying, especially if f is unsteady, and u is the random velocity).
