Nonlinear RDT theory of near-wall turbulence
Abstract
A WKB method was recently used to extend rapid distortion theory (RDT) to initially inhomogeneous turbulence strained by irrotational mean flows [S.V. Nazarenko, N. Kevlahan, B. Dubrulle, J. Fluid Mech. 390 (1999) 325]. This theory takes into account the feedback of turbulence on the mean flow, and it was used by Nazarenko et al. to explain the effect of strain reduction caused by turbulence observed by Andreotti et al. [B. Andreotti, S. …
