Turbulent dynamics of pipe flow captured in a reduced model: puff relaminarization and localized ‘edge’ states

Abstract: Fully 3-dimensional computations of flow through a long pipe demand a huge number of degrees of freedom, making it very expensive to explore parameter space and difficult to isolate the structure of the underlying dynamics. We therefore introduce a `2+epsilon' dimensional model of pipe flow which is a minimal 3-dimensionalisation of the axisymmetric case: only sinusoidal variation in azimuth plus azimuthal shifts are retained, yet the same dynamics familiar from experiments are found. In particular the model retains the subcritical dynamics of fully resolved pipe flow, capturing realistic localised `puff'-like structures which can decay abruptly after long times, as well as global `slug' turbulence. Relaminarisation statistics of puffs reproduce the memoryless feature of pipe flow and indicate the existence of a Reynolds number about which lifetimes diverge rapidly, provided that the pipe is sufficiently long. Exponential divergence of the lifetime is prevalent in shorter periodic domains. In a short pipe, exact travelling-wave solutions are found nearby to flow trajectories on the boundary between laminar and turbulent flow. In a long pipe, the attracting state on the laminar-turbulent boundary is a localised structure which resembles a smoothened puff. This `edge' state remains localised even for Reynolds numbers where the turbulent state is global.
