Mehr et al. seek to explain music's evolution in terms of a unitary proper function – signalling cooperative intent – which they cash out in two guises, coalition signalling and (allo)parental attention signalling. Although we recognize the role signalling almost certainly played in the evolution of music, we reject “ultimate” causal explanations which focus on a unidirectional, narrow range of causal factors.

We present findings on scalar flashes, turbulent spots and transition statistics in a direct numerical simulation of a 500 radius-long pipe flow with a radial-mode inlet disturbance. Transitional spots are found to contain two different types of eddies. The wall region consists primarily of ‘reverse hairpin vortices’. This unusual structure is related to the high-speed streaks arising from the prescribed inlet perturbation. The core region is populated by the normally observed ‘forward’ hairpin vortices. Number density of the reverse hairpins is quantified indirectly and conservatively by measuring the number density of negative skin-friction patches. During the late stages of transition, second-order statistics such as Reynolds stresses and the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy exhibit substantial overshoot. This is associated with mid-to-high frequency content in the energy spectra that exceeds the corresponding levels in fully developed turbulence. Flow visualizations reveal bursts of small-scale vortex motions, including the reverse hairpins, that probably account for the enhanced mid-to-high frequency spectral content. A passive scalar is injected at the centreline of the inlet plane, mimicking laboratory injection of dye through a needle, to investigate the mysterious phenomenon of turbulent scalar patches residing in fully developed turbulent pipe flow. At several hundred radii downstream of transition where the velocity field is genuine fully developed turbulence, the scalar patches retain persistent memory of events far upstream. Comparing the present flow with a similar pipe flow disturbed by a significantly different inlet condition suggests that the foregoing observations are insensitive to the form of the disturbances.

We examine the origin of very-large-scale motions (VLSMs) in fully developed turbulent pipe flow at friction Reynolds number, $\mathit{Re}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}=934$, using data from a direct numerical simulation. The VLSMs and the packet-like large-scale motions (LSMs) found in this study are very similar to those found in earlier studies. Three-dimensional time-evolving instantaneous fields show that one component of the process leading to the large streamwise length of VLSMs is the concatenation of adjacent streamwise LSMs caused by the continuous elongation of LSMs due to the strain component of the mean shear. Spatial organization patterns of the VLSMs and LSMs and their properties are studied by separating auto-correlation of the streamwise velocity fluctuations into the components of the VLSM and the LSM defined by low-pass/high-pass filtering in the streamwise direction. The structures of the two-point spatial correlations of the streamwise velocity component of the VLSMs and the LSMs in the streamwise-azimuthal plane are characterized by multiple maxima and complex patterns that beg explanation in terms of patterned coherent arrangements of the LSMs. Using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), it is found that the X-shape correlation pattern of the VLSMs results from the superposition of very long helically inclined structures and streamwise-aligned structures. Further explanation of the patterns in the correlations of the VLSMs and LSMs is provided through the study of synthetically constructed arrangements of simple hairpin packet models of the LSM. Head-to-tail alignment of the model packets along streamwise and helical directions suggested by the eigenvalues of the POD creates a pair of long roll-cells centred above the logarithmic layer, and bracketing the LSMs. These roll-cells are pure kinematic consequences of the induction within the LSM packets, but they may also serve to organize smaller packets.

A zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer flowing over a transitionally rough surface (24-grit sandpaper) with $k^{+}\approx 11$ and a momentum-thickness Reynolds number of approximately 2400 is studied using direct numerical simulation (DNS). Heat transfer between the isothermal rough surface and the turbulent flow with molecular Prandtl number $Pr=0.71$ is simulated. The dynamic multiscale approach developed by Araya et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 670, 2011, pp. 581–605) is employed to prescribe realistic time-dependent thermal inflow boundary conditions. In general, the rough surface reduces mean and fluctuating temperature profiles with respect to the smooth surface flow when normalized by Wang & Castillo (J. Turbul., vol. 4, 2003, 006) inner/outer scaling. It is shown that the Reynolds analogy does not hold for $y^{+}<9$. In this region the value of the turbulent Prandtl number departs substantially from unity. Above this region the Reynolds analogy is only approximately valid, with the turbulent Prandtl number decreasing from 1 to 0.7 across the boundary layer for rough and smooth walls. In comparison with the smooth-wall case, the turbulent transport of heat per unit mass, $\overline{v^{\prime }v^{\prime }{\it\theta}^{\prime }}$, towards the wall is enhanced in the buffer layer, but the transport of $\overline{v^{\prime }v^{\prime }{\it\theta}^{\prime }}$ away from the wall is reduced in the outer layer for the rough case; similar behaviour is found for the vertical transport of turbulent momentum per unit mass, $\overline{v^{\prime }u^{\prime }v^{\prime }}$. Above the roughness sublayer (3$k$–5$k$) it is found that most of the temperature field statistics, including higher-order moments and conditional averages, are highly similar for the smooth and rough surface flow, showing that the Townsend’s Reynolds number similarity hypothesis applies for the thermal field as well as the velocity field for the Reynolds number and $k^{+}$ considered in this study.

The redshifted 21cm line of neutral hydrogen (Hi), potentially observable at low radio frequencies (~50–200 MHz), should be a powerful probe of the physical conditions of the inter-galactic medium during Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR). The sky-averaged Hi signal is expected to be extremely weak (~100 mK) in comparison to the foreground of up to 104 K at the lowest frequencies of interest. The detection of such a weak signal requires an extremely stable, well characterised system and a good understanding of the foregrounds. Development of a nearly perfectly (~mK accuracy) calibrated total power radiometer system is essential for this type of experiment. We present the BIGHORNS (Broadband Instrument for Global HydrOgen ReioNisation Signal) experiment which was designed and built to detect the sky-averaged Hi signal from the EoR at low radio frequencies. The BIGHORNS system is a mobile total power radiometer, which can be deployed in any remote location in order to collect radio frequency interference (RFI) free data. The system was deployed in remote, radio quiet locations in Western Australia and low RFI sky data have been collected. We present a description of the system, its characteristics, details of data analysis, and calibration. We have identified multiple challenges to achieving the required measurement precision, which triggered two major improvements for the future system.

Summary
The wide ranges of length and velocity scales that occur in turbulent flows make them both interesting and difficult to understand. The length scale range is widest in high Reynolds number turbulent wall flows where the dominant contribution of small scales to the stress and energy very close to the wall gives way to dominance of larger scales with increasing distance away from the wall. Intrinsic length scales are defined statistically by the two-point spatial correlation function, the power spectral density, conditional averages, proper orthogonal decomposition, wavelet analysis and the like. Before two- and three-dimensional turbulence data became available from PIV and DNS, it was necessary to attempt to infer the structure of the eddies that constitute the flow from these statistical quantities or from qualitative flow visualization. Currently, PIV and DNS enable quantitative, direct observation of structure and measurement of the scales associated with instantaneous flow patterns. The purpose of this chapter is to review the behavior of statistically-based scales in wall turbulence, to summarize our current understanding of the geometry and scales of various coherent structures and to discuss the relationship between instantaneous structures of various scales and statistical measures.
Introduction
Wall-bounded turbulent flows are pertinent in a great number of fields, including geophysics, biology, and most importantly engineering and energy technologies where skin friction, heat and mass transfer, flow-generated noise, boundary layer development and turbulence structure are often critical for system performance and environmental impact.

The effects of polymer stresses on near-wall turbulent structures are examined by using direct numerical simulation of fully developed turbulent channel flows with and without polymer stress. The Reynolds number based on friction velocity and half-channel height is 395, and the stresses created by adding polymer are modelled by a finite extensible nonlinear elastic, dumbbell model. Both low- (18%) and high-drag reduction (61%) cases are investigated. Linear stochastic estimation is employed to compute the conditional averages of the near-wall eddies. The conditionally averaged flow fields for Reynolds-stress-maximizing Q2 events show that the near-wall vortical structures are weakened and elongated in the streamwise direction by polymer stresses in a manner similar to that found by Stone et al. (2004) for low-Reynolds-number quasi-streamwise vortices (‘exact coherent states: ECS’). The conditionally averaged fields for the events with large contribution to the polymer work are also examined. The vortical structures in drag-reduced turbulence are very similar to those for the Q2 events, i.e. counter-rotating streamwise vortices near the wall and hairpin vortices above the buffer layer. The three-dimensional distributions of conditionally averaged polymer force around these vortical structures show that the polymer force components oppose the vortical motion. More fundamentally, the torques due to polymer stress are shown to oppose the rotation of the vortices, thereby accounting for their weakening. The observations also extend concepts of the vortex retardation by viscoelastic counter-torques to the heads of hairpins above the buffer layer, and offer an explanation of the mechanism of drag reduction in the outer region of wall turbulence, as well as in the buffer layer.

An analysis that includes the effects of Basset and gravitational forces is presented for the dispersion of particles experiencing Stokes drag in isotropic turbulence. The fluid velocity correlation function evaluated on the particle trajectory is obtained by using the independence approximation and the assumption of Gaussian velocity distributions for both the fluid and the particle, formulated by Pismen & Nir (1978). The dynamic equation for particle motion with the Basset force is Fourier transformed to the frequency domain where it can be solved exactly. It is found that the Basset force has virtually no influence on the structure of the fluid velocity fluctuations seen by the particles or on particle diffusivities. It does, however, affect the motion of the particle by increasing (reducing) the intensities of particle turbulence for particles with larger (smaller) inertia. The crossing of trajectories associated with the gravitational force tends to enhance the effect of the Basset force on the particle turbulence. An ordering of the terms in the particle equation of motion shows that the solution is valid for high particle/fluid density ratios and to 0(1) in the Stokes number.

Unsteady flow over a stationary sphere with small fluctuations in the free-stream velocity is considered at finite Reynolds number using a finite-difference method. The dependence of the unsteady drag on the frequency of the fluctuations is examined at various Reynolds numbers. It is found that the classical Stokes solution of the unsteady Stokes equation does not correctly describe the behaviour of the unsteady drag at low frequency. Numerical results indicate that the force increases linearly with frequency when the frequency is very small instead of increasing linearly with the square root of the frequency as the classical Stokes solution predicts. This implies that the force has a much shorter memory in the time domain. The incorrect behaviour of the Basset force at large times may explain the unphysical results found by Reeks & Mckee (1984) wherein for a particle introduced to a turbulent flow the initial velocity difference between the particle and fluid has a finite contribution to the long-time particle diffusivity. The added mass component of the force at finite Reynolds number is found to be the same as predicted by creeping flow and potential theories. Effects of Reynolds number on the unsteady drag due to the fluctuating free-stream velocity are presented. The implications for particle motion in turbulence are discussed.

Unsteady flow over a stationary sphere with a small fluctuation in the free-stream velocity is considered at small Reynolds number, Re. A matched asymptotic solution is obtained for the frequency-dependent (or the acceleration-dependent) part of the unsteady flow at very small frequency, ω, under the restriction St [Lt ] Re [Lt ] 1, where St is the Strouhal number. The acceleration-dependent part of the unsteady drag is found to be proportional to St ∼ ω instead of the ω½ dependence predicted by Stokes’ solution. Consequently, the expression for the Basset history force is incorrect for large time even for very small Reynolds numbers. Present results compare well with the previous numerical results of Mei, Lawrence & Adrian (1991) using a finite-difference method for the same unsteady flow at small Reynolds number. Using the principle of causality, the present analytical results at small Re, the numerical results at finite Re for low frequency, and Stokes’ results for high frequency, a modified expression for the history force is proposed in the time domain. It is confirmed by comparing with the finite-difference results at arbitrary frequency through Fourier transformation. The modified history force has an integration kernel that decays as t−2, instead of t½, at large time for both small and finite Reynolds numbers.

The large-scale organized structures of turbulent flow can be characterized quantitatively by a conditional eddy, given the local kinematic state of the flow as specified by the conditional average of u(x’, t) given the velocity and the deformation tensor at a point x: 〈u(x’, t)|u(x, t), d(x, t)〉. By means of linear mean-square stochastic estimation, 〈u’|u, d〉 is approximated in terms of the two-point spatial correlation tensor, and the conditional eddy is evaluated for arbitrary values of u(x, t) and d(x, t), permitting study of the turbulent field for a wide range of local kinematic states. The linear estimate is applied to homogeneous turbulent shear flow data generated by direct numerical simulation. The joint velocity-deformation probability density function is used to obtain conditions corresponding to those events that contribute most to the Reynolds shear stress. The primary contributions to the second-quadrant and fourth-quadrant Reynolds-stress events in homogeneous shear flow come from flow induced through the ‘legs’ and close to the ‘heads’ of upright and inverted ‘hairpins’, respectively.
The equation governing the joint probability density function of fu,d (u, d) is derived. It is shown that this equation contains 〈u’/u, d〉 and that the equations for second-order closure can be derived from it. Closure requires approximation of 〈u’/u, d〉.

The laser-Doppler velocimeter is used to measure the mean and the fluctuating velocity for turbulent flow over a solid sinusoidal wave surface having a wavelength λ of 50.8 mm and a wave amplitude of 5.08 mm. For this flow, a large separated region exists, extending from x/λ = 0.14 to 0.69. From the mean velocity measurements, the time-averaged streamlines and therefore the extent of the separated region are calculated. Three flow elements are identified: the separated region, an attached boundary layer, and a free shear layer formed by the detachment of the boundary layer from the wave surface. The characteristics of these flow elements are discussed in terms of the properties of the mean and fluctuating velocity fields.

We analyse the currently popular vortex identification criteria that are based on point-wise analysis of the velocity gradient tensor. A new measure of spiralling compactness of material orbits in vortices is introduced and using this measure a new local vortex identification criterion and requirements for a vortex core are proposed. The inter-relationships between the different criteria are explored analytically and in a few flow examples, using both zero and non-zero thresholds for the identification parameter. These inter-relationships provide a new interpretation of the various criteria in terms of the local flow kinematics. A canonical turbulent flow example is studied, and it is observed that all the criteria, given the proposed usage of threshold, result in remarkably similar looking vortical structures. A unified interpretation based on local flow kinematics is offered for when similarity or differences can be expected in the vortical structures educed using the different criteria.

We derive a seminonparametric utility function containing the constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) function as a special case, and we estimate the associated Euler equations with U.S. consumption data. There is strong evidence that the CRRA function is misspecified. The correctly specified function includes lagged effects of durable goods and perhaps nondurable goods, is bounded as required by Arrow's Utility Boundedness Theorem, and has a positive rate of time preference. Constraining sample periods and separability structure to be consistent with the generalized axiom of revealed preference affects estimation results substantially. Using Divisia aggregates instead of the NIPA aggregates also affects results.

Background
The Royal Air Force Wroughton Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Rehabilitation Programme is described. It comprised a 12-day structured in-patient ‘course’ of group psychotherapy and day-case group follow-up sessions over a one-year period. Psychological debriefing was the main therapeutic technique employed.
MethodThis is a ‘before and after’ open outcome study. A comprehensive assessment protocol confirmed the presence and severity of PTSD and measured co-morbid psychopathological status, occupational and social function longitudinally.
ResultsA highly significant global response to treatment is demonstrated in the 34 subjects included in the study, with 85.3% not fulfilling the DSM–III–R criteria for PTSD at one year after treatment.
ConclusionsFurther controlled studies assessing the value of psychological debriefing techniques in the treatment of established PTSD are required.
