On the turbulent Prandtl number in homogeneous stably stratified turbulence
In this paper, we derive a general relationship for the turbulent Prandtl number Pr t for homogeneous stably stratified turbulence from the turbulent kinetic energy and scalar variance equations. A formulation for the turbulent Prandtl number, Pr t , is developed in terms of a mixing length scale LM and an overturning length scale LE , the ratio of the mechanical (turbulent kinetic energy) deca...
متن کاملTurbulent natural convection along a vertical plate immersed in a stably stratified fluid
The paper considers the moderately turbulent natural convection flow of a stably stratified fluid along an infinite vertical plate (wall). Attention is restricted to statistically stationary flow driven by constant surface forcing (heating), with Prandtl number of unity. The flow is controlled by the surface energy production rate Fs , molecular viscosity/diffusivity ν and ambient stratificatio...
متن کاملA Numerical Study of Turbulent Stably-Stratified Plane Couette Flow
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of stably-stratified, turbulent plane Couette flow are currently being performed on the XC-4000. The friction Reynolds number is kept approximately constant, Reτ 540 and the Richardson number Riw varies between 0 and 0.1. The flow is divided into two regions: the region close to the wall and the core region. The region close to the wall presents strong velocit...
متن کاملCoherent structures in stably stratified plane Couette flow
A large body of recent work in wall-bounded, unstratified shear flow has been dedicated to finding Exact Coherent Structures (ECS) (e.g. see the review Kawahara et al. (2012)). These are fully non-linear, invariably unstable, exact solutions which help understand how turbulence arises. The growing consensus is that the existence of these solutions is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition f...
متن کاملTurbulent mixing in a stratified fluid
The strength of diapycnal mixing by small-scale motions in a stratified fluid is investigated through changes to the mean buoyancy profile. We study the mixing in laboratory experiments in which an initially linearly stratified fluid is stirred with a rake of vertical bars. The flow evolution Ž . depends on the Richardson number Ri , defined as the ratio of buoyancy forces to inertial forces. A...
