Fluctuations of temperature gradients in turbulent thermal convection.
Broad theoretical arguments are proposed to show, formally, that the magnitude G of the temperature gradients in turbulent thermal convection at high Rayleigh numbers obeys the same advection-diffusion equation that governs the temperature fluctuation T , except that the velocity field in the new equation is substantially smoothed. This smoothed field leads to a -1 scaling of the spectrum of G ...
متن کاملSpatially correlated temperature fluctuations in turbulent convection.
By measuring the degree of spatial correlation in temperature fluctuations at two points separated by a distance perpendicular to the mean flow, we are able to determine the viscous boundary layer thickness in turbulent convection. We demonstrate this method using water as the working fluid and find excellent agreement with directly measured results. Furthermore, from the most probable delay ti...
متن کامل"Clusterization" and intermittency of temperature fluctuations in turbulent convection.
Temperature time traces are obtained in turbulent thermal convection at high Rayleigh numbers. Measurements are made in the midplane of the apparatus, near the sidewall but outside the boundary layer. A telegraph approximation for temperature traces is generated by setting the fluctuation amplitude to 1 or 0 depending on whether or not it exceeds the mean value. Unlike the standard diagnostics ...
متن کاملOrigin of the temperature oscillation in turbulent thermal convection.
We report an experimental study of the three-dimensional spatial structure of the low-frequency temperature oscillations in a cylindrical Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell. Through simultaneous multipoint temperature measurements it is found that, contrary to the popular scenario, thermal plumes are emitted neither periodically nor alternately, but randomly and continuously, from the top and bott...
