Studies in Turbulence and Turbulence Control

Abstract

Projects studied under this AFOSR grant are- summarized. They concern the following aspects, and are believed to be of interest for both applications and fundamentals of fluid mechanics and aerospace sciences: (1) Flow Control, (2) Chaos and universality in wakes behind circular cylinders, (3) Absolute instability and the dynamics of variable density jets, (4) Kinematics and dynamics of turbulent vorticity fluctuations in laboratory and atmospheric turbulence, and (5) Fractals and multifractals in fluid flows. The report lists the Ph.D. theses and principal publications arising from the work. Reprints of some of the important papers are attached. The report also contains a section on the impact of the research. A list of Ph.D. students funded at least partly from the grant is given.
