Abstract Turbulent/turbulent interfacial (TTI) layers are investigated with direct numerical simulation of temporally evolving grid turbulence. The present study considers a temporally evolving wake of two parallel-bar grids with different mesh sizes, which generate homogeneous isotropic turbulent regions with large and small turbulent kinetic energies (TKE). A shearless mixing layer of turbulence forms between the large- and small-TKE regions....
