Entrainment vortices and interfacial intermittent turbulent bulges in a plane turbulent wake
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hot-wire measurements were made simultaneously in two homogeneous ‘horizontal’ planes in the far-wake region of a cylinder. A technique developed using hot-wire data to identify the spatial characteristics of the large-scale bulges at the interface between the internal turbulent motions and the external irrotational flow was used to unambiguously relate these outer intermittent bulges to the inner coherent structures. It was found that a turbulent bulge is made up of a combination of a horseshoe vortex (whose legs form one double-roller eddy) and the straining region present just upstream of this structure. The approach also allowed the evaluation of the two most prominent phenomenological models for the entrainment mechanism in the far-wake region: the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability and Townsend's growth–decay cycle. It was found that the decaying and re-forming of the bulges and entrainment structures is not likely to occur. Rather, the evidence is that the large-scale bulges remain coherent for long streamwise distances in equilibrium with the overall similarity 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.
