Lagrangian statistics in forced two-dimensional turbulence.
We report on simulations of two-dimensional turbulence in the inverse energy cascade regime. Focusing on the statistics of Lagrangian tracer particles, scaling behavior of the probability density functions of velocity fluctuations is investigated. The results are compared to the three-dimensional case. In particular an analysis in terms of compensated cumulants reveals the transition from a str...
متن کاملVelocity difference statistics in turbulence.
We unify two approaches that have been taken to explain the non-Gaussian probability distribution functions (PDFs) obtained in measurements of longitudinal velocity differences in turbulence, and we apply our approach to Couette-Taylor turbulence data. The first approach we consider was developed by Castaing and co-workers, who obtained the non-Gaussian velocity difference PDF from a superposit...
متن کاملStatistics of two-particle dispersion in two-dimensional turbulence
We investigate Lagrangian relative dispersion in direct numerical simulation of two-dimensional inverse cascade turbulence. The analysis is performed by using both standard fixed time statistics and an exit time approach. The latter allows a more precise determination of the Richardson constant which is found to be g.4 with a possible weak finite-size dependence. Our results show only small dev...
متن کاملCollision Statistics of Inertial Particles in Two-Dimensional Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence with an Inverse Cascade
This study investigates the collision statistics of inertial particles in inverse-cascading two-dimensional (2D) homogeneous isotropic turbulence by means of a direct numerical simulation (DNS). A collision kernel model for small Stokes number (St) particles in 2D flows is proposed based on the model of Saffman & Turner (1956) (ST56 model). The DNS results agree with this 2D version of the ST56...
متن کاملStatistics of velocity gradients in two-dimensional Navier-Stokes and ocean turbulence.
Probability density functions and conditional averages of velocity gradients derived from upper ocean observations are compared with results from forced simulations of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. Ocean data are derived from TOPEX satellite altimeter measurements. The simulations use rapid forcing on large scales, characteristic of surface winds. The probability distributions of...
