Toward Understanding and Modeling Compressibility Effects on Velocity Gradients in Turbulence

Development of improved turbulence closure models for compressible fluid flow simulations requires better understanding of the effects of compressibility on various underlying processes of turbulence. Fundamental studies of turbulent velocity gradients hold the key to understanding several non-linea...
