Lagrangian dynamics of drift-wave turbulence
The statistical properties of Lagrangian particle transport are investigated in dissipative drift-wave turbulence modelled by the Hasegawa–Wakatani system. By varying the adiabaticity parameter c, the flow regime can be modified from a hydrodynamic limit for c = 0 to a geostrophic limit for c → ∞. For c of order unity the quasi-adiabatic regime is obtained, which might be relevant to describe t...
متن کاملOrigin of lagrangian intermittency in drift-wave turbulence.
The Lagrangian velocity statistics of dissipative drift-wave turbulence are investigated. For large values of the adiabaticity (or small collisionality), the probability density function of the Lagrangian acceleration shows exponential tails, as opposed to the stretched exponential or algebraic tails, generally observed for the highly intermittent acceleration of Navier-Stokes turbulence. This ...
متن کاملResistive drift-wave turbulence
Two-dimensional resistive drift-wave turbulence is studied by high-resolution numerical simulations in the Iimit of small viscosity. Density and potential fluctuations are cross-coupled by resistive dissipation, proportional to the adiabaticity parameter, F, which determines the character of the system: adiabatic (ml) or hydrodynamic (Z% 1). Various cases are computed for 0. I ~%<5. Energy spec...
متن کاملWave-number spectrum of drift-wave turbulence.
A simple model for the evolution of turbulence fluctuation spectra, which includes neighboring interactions leading to the usual dual cascade as well as disparate scale interactions corresponding to refraction by large scale structures, is derived. The model recovers the usual Kraichnan-Kolmogorov picture in the case of exclusively local interactions and midrange drive. On the other hand, when ...
متن کاملDynamics of Zonal Flows and Self-regulating Drift-wave Turbulence
We present a theory of zonal flow drift wave dynamics. Zonal flows are generated by modulational instability of a drift wave spectrum, and are damped by collisions. Drift waves undergo random shearing-induced refraction, resulting in increased mean square radial wavenumber. Drift waves and zonal flows together form a simple dynamical system, which has a single stable fixed point. In this state,...
