- Abstract
This paper studies the sweep and ejection events in a channel flow with Reτ = 80 by using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). The effects of ejection and sweep events on the transport of fluid particles are analyzed separately through a quadrant technique. By analyzing trajectories of the particles released at different wall-normal locations, it is found that the particles from the ejection events mainly move upward while the particles from the sweep events move downward of the flow during short and intermediate diffusion time durations. Numerical results show that the effects of the ejection and sweep events on the mean displacement and the mean square dispersion remain for a long time, one-order of magnitude larger than the streamwise Lagrangian integral scales.
