Abstract
A statistically stationary and nearly homogeneous turbulent shear flow is established
by an additional volume forcing in combination with stress-free boundary conditions
in the shear direction. Both turbulent energy and enstrophy are stationary to a
much better approximation than in previous simulations that use remeshing. The
temporal fluctuations decrease with increasing Reynolds number. Energy spectra and
shear-stress cospectra show that local isotropy is satisfactorily obeyed at the level of
second-order moments. However, derivative moments of high order up to n = 7 yield
increasing moments for n [ges ] 4 for the spanwise vorticity and the transverse derivative
of the streamwise velocity in the range of Taylor Reynolds numbers 59 [les ] Rλ [les ] 99.
These findings, which are in apparent violation of local isotropy, agree with recent
measurements.
