Abstract:In this paper, a new identification method in sampled quadrant analysis was introduced to single out the larger ejection-type (Q2) and sweep-type (Q4) motions which directly contribute to the total Reynolds shear stress in an average sense. Different from previous ones, the threshold Rc in the present method is not an adjustable parameter, but a determined value by data. The singled-out objects by using the present method form 3D “force structures” that directly contribute to the skin-friction coefficient.
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.
