Abstract

The Lagrangian evolution of infinitesimal material lines is investigated experimentally through three dimensional measurements of particle trajectories (3D-PTV) in quasi homogeneous isotropic turbulence with Re _λ = 50. By postprocessing 3D-PTV data obtained by Lüthi et al. (2005) we access the full set of velocity derivatives ∂u _i/∂x _j which allows for monitoring the evolution of various turbulent quantities along each particle trajectory. The main goal of the present investigation concerns the physical mechanisms that govern the Lagrangian evolution of material lines I. In particular we will focus on the effect of vorticity and strain, respectively, on the orientation and on the stretching of I.
