Points of symmetry in turbulent shear flows

Both turbulent wall shear flows and free shear flows exhibit at least one location where the probability density function of temperature is symmetrical but non-Gaussian. The available experimental evidence indicates that this location corresponds approximately to a local maximum in the temperature v...

More Information
Summary:Both turbulent wall shear flows and free shear flows exhibit at least one location where the probability density function of temperature is symmetrical but non-Gaussian. The available experimental evidence indicates that this location corresponds approximately to a local maximum in the temperature variance and reflects the presence of the organised motion.
