文摘The influence of the mean plane strain on the turbulence transportation is investigated by large eddy simulation (LES) in the shearless turbulence mixing layer. It is found that the mean strains enhance the turbulent fluctuations in the mixing region. Compression in the inhomogeneous direction can greatly increase the transport of turbulent kinetic energy by triple correlation terms, while stretching in the inhomogeneous direction decreases the turbulence transportation. The gradient diffusion models for turbulent transportation are evaluated and it is found that the inter-mittency consideration can improve the prediction ability of the gradient-type models for the triple correlation terms.
