Turbulent velocity fluctuations need not be Gaussian

Publicated to: JOURNAL OF FLUID MECHANICS. 376 139-147 - 1998-12-10 376(), DOI: 10.1017/S0022112098002432

Abstract

It is noted that the central limit theorem does not constrain the probability distribution of the components of the turbulent velocity fluctuations to be Gaussian, if their spectral slope is steeper than k(-1). It is shown that, in a model of homogeneous turbulence in which each wavenumber of the energy spectrum predominantly receives contributions from eddies with roughly homogeneous amplitudes and coherence lengths, the p.d.f. would be slightly sub-Gaussian. This agrees with the available experimental evidence.

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 76 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://oa.upm.es/88213/

As a result of the publication of the work in the institutional repository, statistical usage data has been obtained that reflects its impact. In terms of dissemination, we can state that, as of

  • Views: 99
  • Downloads: 1
Continuing with the social impact of the work, it is important to emphasize that, due to its content, it can be assigned to the area of interest of ODS 7 - Affordable and clean energy, with a probability of 63% according to the mBERT algorithm developed by Aurora University.
