On the thixotropic effect of turbulence

As a follow-up research of the work on the natural viscosity of turbulence of Huang et al. [Journal of Turbulence (2003)], here we investigate the thixotropic effect of a turbulent Newtonian fluid on the basis of the ensemble-averaged Navier–Stokes equation. In view of the natural viscosity, we show...
