Abstract

A framework is introduced for accurate estimation of time-average uncertainties in various types of turbulence statistics. A thorough set of guidelines is provided to adjust the different hyperparameters for estimating uncertainty in sample mean estimators (SMEs). For high-order turbulence statistics, a novel approach is proposed which avoids any linearization and preserves all relevant temporal and spatial correlations and cross-covariances between SMEs. This approach is able to accurately estimate uncertainties in any arbitrary statistical moment. The usability of the approach is demonstrated by applying it to data from direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the turbulent flow over a periodic hill and through a straight circular pipe.
