Complex magnetohydrodynamic low-Reynolds-number flows.
The interaction between electric currents and a magnetic field is used to produce body (Lorentz) forces in electrolyte solutions. By appropriate patterning of the electrodes, one can conveniently control the direction and magnitude of the electric currents and induce spatially and temporally complicated flow patterns. This capability is useful, not only for fundamental flow studies, but also fo...
متن کاملPassive swimming in low-Reynolds-number flows.
The possibility of microscopic swimming by extraction of energy from an external flow is discussed, focusing on the migration of a simple trimer across a linear shear flow. The geometric properties of swimming, together with the possible generalization to the case of a vesicle, are analyzed. The mechanism of energy extraction from the flow appears to be the generalization to a discrete swimmer ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Exponents from Low-Reynolds-Number Flows
The high-order statistics of fluctuations in velocity gradients in the crossover range from the inertial to the Kolmogorov and sub-Kolmogorov scales are studied by direct numerical simulations (DNS) of homogeneous isotropic turbulence with vastly improved resolution. The derivative moments for orders 0 ≤ n ≤ 8 are represented well as powers of the Reynolds number, Re, in the range 380 ≤ Re ≤ 22...
متن کاملAnisotropy of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at low magnetic Reynolds number
Turbulent fluctuations in magnetohydrodynamic flows are known to become anisotropic under the action of a sufficiently strong magnetic field. We investigate this phenomenon in the case of low magnetic Reynolds number using direct numerical simulations and large eddy simulations of a forced flow in a periodic box. A series of simulations is performed with different strengths of the magnetic fiel...
متن کاملLow Mach Number Limit of Viscous Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Flows
The relationship between the compressible magnetohydrodynamic flows with low Mach number and the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic flows is investigated. More precisely, the convergence of weak solutions of the compressible isentropic viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations to the weak solutions of the incompressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations is proved as the density becomes constant...
