The Difference

The difference between scaling exponents of longitudinal and transverse velocity structure functions in the far-field of a round jet is found to depend on the anisotropy of the flow. The effect of the large-scale anisotropy is assessed by considering different initial conditions at the jet nozzle, and hence different ratios of the longitudinal to transverse rms velocities. The effect of the Taylor microscale Reynolds number on the small scale anisotropy is also considered. Both effects account, to a large extent, for the observed difference between longitudinal and transverse exponents and the disagreement between previously published results of different authors. This disagreement also depends on the method used to determine the inertial range. An empirical description of the overall behaviour of the structure functions provides reasonable estimates for the longitudinal and transverse exponents, accounting reasonably well for the anisotropy of both large- and small-scale motions.

Abstract The low-wavenumber regime of the spectrum of turbulence commensurate with Townsend’s “attached” eddies is investigated here for the near-neutral atmospheric surface layer (ASL) and the roughness sublayer (RSL) above vegetation canopies. The central thesis corroborates the significance of the imbalance between local production and dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) and canopy shear in challenging the classical distance-from-the-wall scaling of canonical turbulent boundary layers. Using five experimental datasets (two vegetation canopy RSL flows, two ASL flows, and one open-channel experiment), this paper explores (i) the existence of a low-wavenumber k−1 scaling law in the (wind) velocity spectra or, equivalently, a logarithmic scaling ln(r) in the velocity structure functions; (ii) phenomenological aspects of these anisotropic scales as a departure from homogeneous and isotropic scales; and (iii) the collapse of experimental data when plotted with different similarity coordinates. The results show that the extent of the k−1 and/or ln(r) scaling for the longitudinal velocity is shorter in the RSL above canopies than in the ASL because of smaller scale separation in the former. Conversely, these scaling laws are absent in the vertical velocity spectra except at large distances from the wall. The analysis reveals that the statistics of the velocity differences Δu and Δw approach a Gaussian-like behavior at large scales and that these eddies are responsible for momentum/energy production corroborated by large positive (negative) excursions in Δu accompanied by negative (positive) ones in Δw. A length scale based on TKE dissipation collapses the velocity structure functions at different heights better than the inertial length scale.
