Advection of Passive Tracers in the Atmosphere: Batchelor Scaling
Extensive numerical experiments are performed on tracer dispersion in global reanalysis wind fields. Particle trajectories are computed both along an isobaric (500hPa) and an isentropic (315K) surface in a time interval of one year. Besides mean quantities such as advection of the center of mass and growth of tracer clouds, special attention is paid to the evaluation of particle pair separation...
متن کاملAnomalous scaling for a passive scalar near the Batchelor limit
A class of phenomenological Hopf equations describing mixing of a passive scalar by random flow close to the Batchelor limit ~i.e., advection by random strain and vorticity! is analyzed. In the Batchelor limit multipoint correlators of the scalar are constructed explicitly by exploiting the SL (N ,R) symmetry of the Hopf operator. Hopf equations close to this ‘‘integrable’’ limit are solved via...
متن کاملScalar variance decay in chaotic advection and Batchelor-regime turbulence.
The decay of the variance of a diffusive scalar in chaotic advection flow (or equivalently Batchelor-regime turbulence) is analyzed using a model in which the advection is represented by an inhomogeneous baker's map on the unit square. The variance decays exponentially at large times, with a rate that has a finite limit as the diffusivity kappa tends to zero and is determined by the action of t...
متن کاملMixing properties in the advection of passive tracers via recurrences and extreme value theory.
In this paper we characterize the mixing properties in the advection of passive tracers by exploiting the extreme value theory for dynamical systems. With respect to classical techniques directly related to the Poincaré recurrences analysis, our method provides reliable estimations of the characteristic mixing times and distinguishes between barriers and unstable fixed points. The method is bas...
متن کاملDynamics of passive tracers in the atmosphere: laboratory experiments and numerical tests with reanalysis wind fields.
Laboratory and numerical experiments are reported on dye advection processes in geostrophic turbulence. The experimental setup is the classical rotating annulus with differential heating which mimics the most essential features of midlatitude atmospheric flow. The main control parameter is the temperature contrast. Fluorescent dye is used as passive tracer, and dispersion is evaluated by digita...
