Dependence on the initial conditions of scalar mixing in the turbulent wake of a circular cylinder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effect of the initial conditions on scalar mixing in the turbulent wake of a circular cylinder is studied. The scalar under consideration is temperature and it is injected by means of an array of parallel, heated, fine wires (a mandoline). The initial length scale of the velocity field is varied (relative to that of the scalar field) by changing the downstream location of the mandoline. The initial length scale of the scalar field is modified by changing the number of mandoline wires and their spacing. In accordance with previous results in homogeneous, isotropic, grid turbulence, increasing the initial length scale of the velocity field was found to (i) increase the decay rate of scalar variance (m), (ii) decrease the integral scale of the scalar field (lθ), and (iii) increase the mechanical to thermal time scale ratio r. Varying the mandoline wire spacing had little effect on m, lθ, or r. Increasing the width of the mandoline decreased the scalar variance decay rate. Doing so, however, had negligible effect on the structure of the scalar field (i.e., lθ or r). The independence of the scalar variance decay rate and the structure of the scalar field—the opposite of what is observed in grid turbulence—is attributed to the inhomogeneous nature of the flow.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
