The results show that: (1) In the instance of counter gradient transport, the principal scale of the coherent structure is responsible for the strong local counter gradient transport; (2) Counter gradient transport phenomena have a strong effect on the intermittency of turbulence; (3) Non-Gaussian part of the principal coherent structure is essential for counter gradient transport phenomena.展开更多

Global exponents are calculated by orthogonal wavelets and Extended Scaling Similarity(ESS). The results show that the flow in an asymmetric channel flow exhibits different characteristics of intermittency from that in a symmetric flow. It is also shown that the intermittency property of the streamwise fluctuations is different from that of vertical fluctuations, and the intermittency does not decay with the increase of the distance from the wall. In addition, the Continuous Wavelet Transform(CWT) method is found to be unreliable to calculate the local scaling components. Finally, it is pointed out that the existence and the significance of negative local scaling components need further study.展开更多
