Abstract
In a close vicinity of channel walls, the mesostructure of turbulent flow is characterized by turning of vortex orientation. Probably a description of eddy transformation needs more sophisticated objects than a rotating “mole”. Correspondingly, we have to nominate a proper type of anisotropy and find the parameter that could be dynamically changed in a flow. There have been different approaches taken to this problem. For example, the given anisotropy [175] was taken into account directly in the constitutive equations for the Reynolds stresses and strain rates. The Cosserat continuum is used in this book for turbulent currents with spin velocity of eddies as thermodynamic parameters [7, 118, 119, 222].
