Rapidly Sheared Compressible Turbulence: Characterization of Different Pressure Regimes and Effect of Thermodynamic Fluctuations

Rapid distortion theory (RDT) is applied to compressible ideal-gas turbulence subjected to homogeneous shear flow. The study examines the linear or rapid processes present in turbulence evolution. Specific areas of investigation include:(i) characterization of the multi-stage flow behavior,(ii) chan...
