Response of turbulent pipe flow to targeted wall shapes at a range of Reynolds numbers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The response and recovery of turbulent pipe flow to three-dimensional perturbed wall changes were examined numerically in a wide range of Reynolds numbers between Re=5×103 and 1.58×105. The perturbations were based on distinct azimuthal Fourier modes corresponding to m = 3, 15, and 3 + 15. The long-lasting response of the flow was examined by characterizing both the mean and turbulent field in the wake of pipe inserts for each Re. The variation of the recovery with increasing Reynolds number revealed an asymptotic behavior for Re≥7.5×104, which scaled with Re4 for both mean velocity and turbulence kinetic energy. Two peaks were observed for the mean velocity along the wake centerline, where the location of peaks followed a power-law trend in the form of Lp/D∝Re4/3, where D is the pipe diameter. A fast decay of turbulence past the wall change further suggested that maximum Reynolds shear stress in the downstream wake decays as (x/D)−1/3 for all Re. The flow also exhibited long-lasting responses that obstructed its relaxation at 20D downstream of the perturbation, even for low Re of 5×103. Overall, the recovery exhibited a second-order response.

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.
