About Boussinesq's turbulent viscosity hypothesis: historical remarks and a direct evaluation of its validity

Abstract: Boussinesq's hypothesis is at the heart of eddy viscosity models, which are used in many different fields to model turbulent flows. In its present time formulation, this hypothesis corresponds to an alignment between Reynolds stress and mean strain tensors. We begin with historical remarks on Boussinesq's results and recall that he introduced a local averaging twenty years before Reynolds, but using an approach that prevented him from discovering Reynolds' stress tensor. We then introduce an indicator that cha… Show more

“…This approach is known to give less accurate results in several flow situations including those containing rapid changes in mean rate of strain, such as flows with a constriction. An in depth discussion on these matters can be found in [47]. The RSM, on the other hand, does not rely on this hypothesis and instead contains a set of partial differential equations for the Reynolds stress tensor.…”

“…A sub-grid viscosity μ sgs is considered to solve the sub-grid stress tensor according to the Boussinesq hypothesis (Schmitt, 2007). Therefore, the sub-grid stress tensor becomes:…”

“…Tal y como demuestran numerosas tesis presentadas durante los últimos años [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], el Departamento de Máquinas y Motores Térmicos de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia posee una dilatada experiencia en el estudio del proceso de inyección Diesel. De todas ellas, existen dos trabajos estrechamente relacionados con la presente Tesis, puesto que se ocupan del estudio del flujo interno o del spray en condiciones cavitantes.…”

“…De hecho, autores como Arai et al [18], Hiroyasu et al [19] y Soteriou et al [20] encontraron evidencias sobre el incremento significativo del ángulo del chorro ya durante la primera fase de la cavitación (cavitación incipiente). Simultáneamente, la longitud intacta se reducía.…”
