The structure of turbulent shear-induced countercurrent flow

Abstract

Countercurrent flow is a generalized plane Couette flow in which a shear-induced drift current is opposed by a pressure-driven return flow such that the resulting mass flux is zero. This type of flow is encountered in both environmental fluid mechanics and tribology. Measurements are described that were undertaken in steady turbulent countercurrent flow, generated in a novel type of apparatus between smooth walls, at Reynolds numbers, expressed …
