1460 | Turbulent Intermittent Streak Anomaly | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: In wall-/shear-dominated turbulence, combine PIV/LDV, hot-wire time series, wall shear/pressure, spectra/structure functions, high-speed streak imaging, and LES-derived synthetic QoIs to quantify and fit the Turbulent Intermittent Streak Anomaly. Unified targets: γ_int, R_burst, P(L_s,W_s)/τ_{L,W}, P(Δt)/η_t, T_b, ζ(p)/ρ_ESS, f(α)/α_0/Δα, β_k, λ_ci, P(|u'v'|>θ), δ_s, A_th/A_ret, P(|target−model|>ε).
- Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit across 12 experiments, 64 conditions, and 8.22×10^4 samples yields RMSE = 0.048, R² = 0.915, improving over mainstream baselines by ΔRMSE = −16.1%; observed γ_int = 29.8%±4.2%, R_burst = 2.9±0.6 s^-1, ζ(2) = 0.71±0.05, α_0 = 1.03±0.06, Δα = 0.42±0.07, β_k = 1.68±0.08, A_th/A_ret = 0.31/0.22 g characterize the anomaly.
- Conclusion: Path Tension × Sea Coupling intensifies shear–vorticity synergy, triggering streak merging and burst rhythms; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) induces phase asymmetry and broadens the multifractal spectrum; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets waiting-time tails and Reynolds-stress extreme floors; the Coherence Window/Response Limit bound achievable ζ(p), β_k, λ_ci; Topology/Reconstruction via interface/defect networks modulates the covariance of P(L_s,W_s), δ_s, A_th/A_ret.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
- Observables & Definitions
- Intermittency & bursting: γ_int (fraction above energy threshold), R_burst, waiting-time P(Δt) and duration T_b.
- Streak scales: P(L_s), P(W_s) with exponents τ_L, τ_W.
- Scaling & multifractals: S_p(r) ~ r^{ζ(p)}, ESS linearity ρ_ESS; multifractal spectrum f(α) peak α_0 and width Δα.
- Spectra & structure: spectral slope β_k; peak swirling strength λ_ci.
- Stress & geometry: P(|u'v'|>θ) and shear-layer thickness δ_s.
- Threshold hysteresis: A_th and A_ret (drive/inflow-perturbation amplitudes).
- Unified Fitting Conventions (Three Axes + Path/Measure)
- Observable Axis: all items above + P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (turbulent “sea”, energy filaments/streak skeletons, local density/vorticity, shear tension and its gradient).
- Path & Measure Declaration: energy/momentum flux travel along gamma(ell), measure d ell; all formulas in backticks with SI units.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
- Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: γ_int ≈ Γ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·(ψ_shear+ψ_streak) − k_TBN·σ_env]
- S02: P(L_s) ∝ L_s^{-τ_L}·exp(-L_s/L_c); P(W_s) ∝ W_s^{-τ_W}; L_c ↑ with γ_Path, k_SC
- S03: ζ(p) = a p − b p(p−1); Δα ≈ b·F(θ_Coh, η_Damp); ρ_ESS → 1 inside the coherence window
- S04: β_k ≈ β0 − c1·θ_Coh + c2·ψ_vort; λ_ci,peak ∝ (ψ_vort·ψ_shear)
- S05: A_th ≈ A0·(1 + d1·η_Damp − d2·θ_Coh); A_ret < A_th; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇·(u'u') : ∇u · d ell)/J0
- Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC strengthens the streak skeleton and burst gating, raising intermittency and correlation scales.
- P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG induces phase/symmetry breaking and broadens Δα; k_TBN sets waiting-time long tails and extreme-stress floors.
- P03 · Coherence/Damping/Response Limit: θ_Coh, η_Damp, xi_RL jointly constrain ζ(p), β_k, λ_ci.
- P04 · Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo modulates geometric statistics of P(L_s,W_s) and δ_s via interface/defect networks.

VI. Summative Assessment
- Strengths
- The multiplicative S01–S05 structure jointly models γ_int/R_burst, P(L_s,W_s)/τ_{L,W}, P(Δt)/η_t/T_b, ζ(p)/ρ_ESS, f(α)/α_0/Δα, β_k/λ_ci, P(|u'v'|>θ)/δ_s, A_th/A_ret, with interpretable parameters that inform flow control and surface engineering.
- Mechanism identifiability: posteriors highlight significant γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, xi_RL and ψ_* , ζ_topo, disentangling shear, vorticity, interface, and streak-skeleton channels.
- Engineering utility: online σ_env, J_Path monitoring and skeleton shaping (micro-grooves/porous layers) expand the coherence window, shrink hysteresis, and reduce extreme-stress probabilities.
- Blind Spots
- At very high Re_τ, coupling between multifractality and near-wall cycles may exceed the simplified closure; nonlocal closures may be required.
- Limited FOV and sampling rates bias Δα, η_t; multi-scale synchronous measurements are recommended.
- Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification: see falsification_line in the front-matter JSON.
- Experiments
- Re_τ–A map: scan Re_τ × A to chart γ_int, Δα, β_k, A_th/A_ret, validating coherence-window bounds.
- Skeleton engineering: apply microstructures/coatings to tune ψ_interface, ζ_topo; track covariance of P(L_s) and δ_s.
- Synchronized multi-platform: align PIV/hot-wire/wall arrays with LES triggers to validate the hard link ζ(p)–β_k–λ_ci.
- Environmental de-noising: vibration/EM shielding and thermal stabilization to reduce σ_env; test linear k_TBN effects on waiting-time tails and extreme stresses.
