Evolution of vortices in wall vicinity of turbulent channel flow at low Reynolds number

Direct numerical simulations of unsteady turbulent channel flow are performed to study the evolution of streamwise vortices in the wall vicinity. In the first stage of those numerical simulations, turbulence decays temporarily after one of the walls bounding the flow becomes free-slip, and streamwis...
