Inverse turbulent cascades and conformally invariant curves.
We offer a new example of conformal invariance (local scale invariance) far from equilibrium-the inverse cascade of surface quasigeostrophic (SQG) turbulence. We show that temperature isolines are statistically equivalent to curves that can be mapped into a one-dimensional Brownian walk (called Schramm-Loewner evolution or SLEkappa). The diffusivity is close to kappa=4, that is, isotemperature ...
متن کاملInverse versus Direct Cascades in Turbulent Advection
A model of scalar turbulent advection in compressible flow is analytically investigated. It is shown that, depending on the dimensionality d of space and the degree of compressibility of the smooth advecting velocity field, the cascade of the scalar is direct or inverse. If d . 4 the cascade is always direct. For a small enough degree of compressibility, the cascade is direct again. Otherwise i...
متن کاملTurbulent cascades
Turbulent cascades at high Reynolds numbers are explained briefly in terms of multipliers and multiplier distributions. Two properties of the multipliers ensure the existence of power laws for locally averaged energy dissipation rate: (a) the existence of a multiplier probability density function that is independent of the level of the cascade, and (b) the statistical independence of multiplier...
متن کاملA Simple Turbulent Kinetic Energy Equation and Aircraft Boundary Layer Turbulence
The basic science of turbulence has been known for many years, yet the knowledge has hardly become a part of operational aviation turbulence forecasting. The history of turbulence forecasting, which has primarily concentrated at elevations above the boundary layer, has been an amalgamation of empirical rules of thumb and forecaster intuition, not of strong theory and conceptual models. Turbulen...
متن کاملStepped Spillway Performance: Study of the Pressure and Turbulent Kinetic Energy versus Discharge and Slope
In the present study, flow over flat and pooled stepped spillways was simulated three dimensionally. The VOF method and k- ε (RNG) turbulent model was used to simulate the flow over the stepped spillway. The results indicated that the numerical model was acceptably capable of simulating the flow over the pooled and flat stepped spillways for different discharges. Following that, the effect of d...
