The Polymer Effect on Nonlinear Processes in Decaying Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence

In order to study the polymer effect on the behavior of nonlinearities in decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence (DHIT), direct numerical simulations were carried out for DHIT with and without polymers. We investigate the nonlinear processes, such as enstrophy production, strain production, polym...
