We report results from experiments in a von Kaacutermaacuten swirling water flow and from numerical simulations of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. We analyze the statistics and the dynamics of the perceived rate of strain tensor and vorticity for initially regular tetrahedron of size r0 from the dissipative to the integral scale. Just as for the true velocity gradient, at any instant, the perceived vorticity is also preferentially aligned with the intermediate eigenvector of the perceived rate of strain. However, in the perceived rate of strain eigenframe fixed at a given time t = 0, the perceived vorticity evolves in time such as to align with the strongest eigendirection at t = 0. This also applies to the true velocity gradient. The experimental data at the higher Reynolds number suggests the existence of a self-similar regime in the inertial range. In particular, the dynamics of alignment of the perceived vorticity and strain can be rescaled by t0, the turbulence time scale of the flow when the scale r0 is in the inertial range. For smaller Reynolds numbers we found the dynamics to be scale dependent."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1063/1.4795547"],["dc.identifier.isi","000316951900026"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/30492"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Inst Physics"],["dc.relation.issn","1070-6631"],["dc.title","Tetrahedron deformation and alignment of perceived vorticity and strain in a turbulent flow"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

These and other examples(7) suggest a yet-to-be-determined unifying structure of turbulent flows(8,9). Here, we unveil an important ingredient of turbulence by taking the perspective of an observer who perceives its world with respect to three distant neighbours all swept by the flow. The time evolution of the observer's world can be decomposed into rotation and stretching. We show that, in this Lagrangian frame, the axis of rotation aligns with the initially strongest stretching direction, and that the dynamics can be understood by the conservation of angular momentum.

Here we ask whether similar ideas can be applied to temporal correlations. We critically review the relevant theoretical and experimental results concerning the velocity statistics of a single fluid particle in the inertial range of statistically homogeneous, stationary and isotropic turbulence. We stress that the widely used relations for the second structure function, D-2(t) equivalent to <[nu(t) - nu(0)](2)> proportional to epsilon t, relies on dimensional arguments only: no relation of D-2(t) to the energy cascade is known, neither in two- nor in three-dimensional turbulence. State of the art experimental and numerical results demonstrate that at high Reynolds numbers, the derivative dD(2)(t)/dt has a finite non-zero slope starting from t approximate to 2 tau(eta). The analysis of the acceleration spectrum Phi(A)(omega) indicates a possible small correction with respect to the dimensional expectation Phi(A)(omega) similar to omega(0) but present data are unable to discriminate between anomalous scaling and finite Reynolds effects in the second order moment of velocity Lagrangian statistics.
