Turbulent Channel Flow


Color contours of the streamwise vorticity in the Direct Numerical Simulations of fully developed turbulent channel flow. The simulations were performed by John Kim, Parviz Moin and Robert Moser(Journal of Fluid Mechanics, v 177, pp 136-166, 1987). The plot is produced by Arthur Kravchenko.
