Overview
The fund supports Major Research Programs on following scientific issues: 1. the formation kinetics of turbulent structures under various conditions: the turbulence transition is studied from the viewpoint of turbulence structure generation, and the transition theory of turbulence structure generation dynamics is proposed based on the framework of existing stability theory 2. multi scale spatial and temporal dynamics of turbulent structure evolution: the evolution of the structure of turbulence from the coupling point of view, the theoretical framework of breakthrough turbulent energy cascade development process, calculation methods and experimental techniques of turbulence theory 3. functional mechanism and control principle of turbulence structure on Thermoacoustic transport: from perspective of giving fine description of turbulence structure, mechanism of action and transport of turbulent structure on thermal stress, break the traditional framework of eddy viscosity model, realize the accurate prediction and control of resistance, heat flux and flow noise.
