Abstract
This work presents studies of momentum mixing by turbulence in a channel flow, a separated boundary layer flow, and a separated boundary layer with sweep using direct numerical simulation (DNS) and the macroscopic forcing method (MFM, Mani and Park, Physical Review Fluids, 2021, p.054607) to quantify the non-Boussinesq effects of momentum mixing from turbulent eddies. The key goal of our investigation is to develop a quantitative understanding of the anisotropy and nonlocality of the eddy viscosity operator in wall-bounded turbulent flows. These studies provide important perspectives on the macroscopic behavior of turbulence in diverse flow setups, and they supply valuable data for enhancing turbulence closure models. Furthermore, they encourage a reevaluation of previous works in turbulence modeling and provide a foundation for enhancing the effectiveness of current RANS models.
