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 gradients can be orders of magnitude larger than their typical value and lead to many unique properties of turbulence. Using direct numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations with unprecedented small-scale resolution, we characterize such extreme events over a significant range of turbulence intensities, parameterized by the Taylor-scale Reynolds number (Rl). Remarkably, we find the strongest velocity gradients to empirically scale as t l - Rb K 1 , with b »  0.775 0.025,where tK is theKolmogorov time scale (with its inverse, t-K1, being the rms of velocity gradient fluctuations). Additionally, we observe velocity increments across very small distances r  h,where η is theKolmogorov length scale, to be as large as the rms of the velocity fluctuations. Both observations suggest that the smallest length scale in the flow behaves as h l R-a,with a = b - 1 2 , which is at odds with predictions from existing phenomenological theories.Wefind that extreme gradients are arranged in vortex tubes, such that strain conditioned on vorticity grows on average slower than vorticity, approximately as a power law with an exponent g < 1, which weakly increaseswith Rl.Using scaling arguments,we get b = (2 - g)-1,which suggests that βwould also slowly increasewith Rl.We conjecture that approaching themathematical limit of infinite Rl, strain and vorticity would scale similarly resulting in g = 1and hence extreme events occurring at a scale h l R-1/2 corresponding to b = 1."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1088/1367-2630/ab0756"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16127"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59948"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/312778/EU//EUHIT"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.rights","CC BY 3.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"],["dc.subject.ddc","530"],["dc.title","Extreme velocity gradients in turbulent flows"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

This holds true in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) flows, which show fundamentally different physics. As we demonstrate here, pressure forces act on fluid elements very differently in these two cases. We find in numerical simulations that in 3D pressure forces strongly accelerate the fastest fluid elements, and that in 2D this effect is absent.

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.
