Abstract

One of the most important problems in the turbulence theory is the process of turbulent mixing. Although many theoretical and experimental studies on the structure functions of a passive scalar as well as the probability density functions of its increment and gradient in a turbulent fluid have been published so far, the instantaneous feature of an advected scalar has not been explored very well. There are only a few experimental studies on a scalar concentration fluctuation analysis in turbulent flows. In this study the time-series of both longitudinal velocity component and concentration analysis are to be presented. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
