Methods to Study Turbulence
• Statistical approach
– Statistical-kinetic approach
– Statistical-probabilistic approach
• Deterministic approach
• Fluid molecules (Saint-Venant 1877)
• Turbulent viscosity (Bussinesq 1877)
• Reynolds decomposition (1894)
• Covariances and cross-correlations (Einstein 1914)
• Mixing length (Prandtl 1925)
• Taylor hypothesis (1935)
Statistical-kinetic approach
• Stochastic process PDF, spectra
• Kampé de Fériet (1939), Millionshchikov (1939), Kolmogorov (1941),
Obukchov (1941), Osanger (1949) Heisenberg and
Von Weizsaker (1948)
Statistical-probabilistic approach
• Individual realization
• Coherent structures (Theodorsen 1952)
• DNS method

• Gives quantitative results
• No decoupling between scales
• Phenomenological models needed
• The only method applicable to engineering problems (2011)

• Resolution of scales
• Space and time
• Computers: Re ≤ 1 000
• Reality: Re ≥ 1 000 000
