Abstract

Streamlines constitute natural geometries in turbulent flows. In this work streamlines are segmented based on local extrema of the field of the absolute value of the velocity along the streamline coordinate. Streamline segments are parameterized based on their arclength and a theoretical scaling of the mean length with the geometric mean of the Kolmogorov length and the Taylor microscale is derived and found to be in good agreement with direct numerical simulations.
