In this paper the k−11 spectral law is examined using the experimental data from fully developed pipe, boundary layer, and diffuser flows (here, k1 denotes a one-dimensional longitudinal wavenumber). The type of pressure gradient present in a wall-bounded flow has been found to play a controlling role on the presence and extent of the k−11 spectral law. In fully developed pipe and boundary layer flows, under favorable and zero pressure gradients, respectively, the occurrence of the k−11 spectral law shows similar characteristics. On the other hand, the presence of adverse pressure gradient has been observed to modify these characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
