Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description We have shown that the smallest scales in turbulence have a different structure depending on where in the flow field one looks, and at what type of flow one looks.
Exploitation Route The hope is for more accurate turbulence models to be developed based on our findings.
