Incorporating intrinsic compressibility effects in velocity transformations for wall-bounded turbulent flows (2305.06712v3)
Published 11 May 2023 in physics.flu-dyn
Abstract: A transformation that relates a compressible wall-bounded turbulent flow with non-uniform fluid properties to an equivalent incompressible flow with uniform fluid properties is derived and validated. The transformation accounts for both variable-property and intrinsic compressibility effects, the latter being the key improvement over the current state-of-the-art. The importance of intrinsic compressibility effects contradicts the renowned Morkovin's hypothesis.
