Basic turbulence concepts, vortex stretching energy cascade concepts help
Hi guys. i am a newbie in studying turbulence in cfd. I am really having hard time getting basic concepts of turbulence like, how and why vortices are formed, vortex stretching concept, energy cascade, stability theory etc. I am unable to fully understand first few pages of malaseekra's book chapter 3.
So any help regarding clearing the mentioned topics above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance |
Here are two videos I found on youtube that show nicely how vortex stretching creates a range of scales. Maybe this helps you!

@cfdnewbie
seems like these two videos are way too complex to be understood by me. No commentary no nothing, no understanding of what is flow direction,( just seem like some colors are randomly mixing in a bucket of paint:)) so kindly suggest some better notes |

Two great books, it doesnt get much better than Pope, but I would start with the second one - very easy to read, the kind of book you can into the bathtub and still learn a lot! |
