Краткое описание
Effects of deceleration and mean dilatation on the turbulence structure of supersonic flow in a diffuser with an incoming supersonic fully-developed turbulent pipe flow are studied by means of DNS. Strong enhancement of the turbulence intensities is observed when the flow undergoes deceleration. Turbulence production and pressure-strain terms in the Reynolds stress budgets are found to increase dramatically leading to increased Reynolds stresses. The central role of pressure-strain correlations in modifying the turbulence structure in these flow conditions is demonstrated.
