| contents | We investigate the effects of thermal boundary conditions and Mach number on turbulence close to walls. In particular, we study the near-wall asymptotic behavior for adiabatic and pseudo-adiabatic walls, and compare to the asymptotic behavior recently found near isothermal cold walls (Baranwal et al. (2022)). This is done by analyzing a new large database of highly-resolved direct numerical simulations of turbulent channels with different wall thermal conditions and centerline Mach numbers. We observe that the asymptotic power-law behavior of Reynolds stresses as well as heat fluxes does change with both centerline Mach number and thermal-condition at the wall. Power-law exponents transition from their analytical expansion for solenoidal fields to those for non-solenoidal field as the Mach number is increased, though this transition is found to be dependent on the thermal boundary conditions. The correlation coefficients between velocity and temperature are also found to be affected by these factors. Consistent with recent proposals on universal behavior of compressible turbulence, we find that dilatation at the wall is the key scaling parameter for this power-law exponents providing a universal functional law which can provide a basis for general models of near-wall behavior. |
