Intermittency, Moments, and Friction Coefficient during the Subcritical Transition of Channel Flow

The intermittent distribution of localized turbulent structures is a key feature of the subcritical transitions in channel flows, which are studied in this paper with a wind channel and theoretical modeling. Entrance disturbances are introduced by small beads, and localized turbulent patches can be...
