Abstract
The paper investigates the dissipation tensor$\unicode[STIX]{x1D700}_{ij}$in wall turbulence. Available direct numerical simulation (DNS) data are examined to illustrate the differences in the anisotropy of the dissipation tensor$\unicode[STIX]{x1D700}_{ij}$with respect to the anisotropy of the Reynolds stresses$\unicode[STIX]{x1D633}_{ij}$. The budgets of the transport equations of the dissipation tensor$\unicode[STIX]{x1D700}_{ij}$are studied using novel DNS data of low Reynolds number turbulent plane channel flow with spatial resolution sufficiently fine to accurately determine the correlations of products of two-derivatives of fluctuating velocities$u_{i}^{\prime }$and pressure$p^{\prime }$which appear in various terms. Finally, the influence of the Reynolds number on the diagonal components of$\unicode[STIX]{x1D700}_{ij}$($\unicode[STIX]{x1D700}_{xx}$,$\unicode[STIX]{x1D700}_{yy}$,$\unicode[STIX]{x1D700}_{zz}$) and on the various terms in their transport equations is studied using available DNS data of Vreman and Kuerten (Phys. Fluids, vol. 26, 2014b, 085103).
