Numerical investigations of the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate in the Rhine region of freshwater influence
The turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, ε, in tidal seas is maximum at the bottom during full flood and during full ebb, i.e. when tidal currents are strongest. In coastal regions with tides similar to a Kelvin wave, this coincides with high water and low water. If there is a freshwater source at the coast, stratification in such a region will be most stable at high water and least at lo...
متن کاملRenormalized expression for the turbulent energy dissipation rate.
Conditional elimination of degrees of freedom is shown to lead to an exact expression for the rate of turbulent energy dissipation in terms of a renormalized viscosity and a correction. The correction is neglected on the basis of a previous hypothesis [W. D. McComb and C. Johnston, J. Phys. A 33, L15 (2000)] that there is a range of parameters for which a quasistochastic estimate is a good appr...
متن کاملEstimating the turbulent energy dissipation rate in an airport environment
This note reports on the influence of aircraft wake vortices on the estimation of the turbulent energy dissipation rate using sonic anemometer measurements near the runway threshold. The wake vortex traces, which are generated at a height of about 65m and subsequently evolve in ground effect, are clearly visible in the velocity components and temperature. The observed temperature increase of 1K...
متن کاملLagrangian velocity statistics in turbulent flows: effects of dissipation.
We use the multifractal formalism to describe the effects of dissipation on Lagrangian velocity statistics in turbulent flows. We analyze high Reynolds number experiments and direct numerical simulation data. We show that this approach reproduces the shape evolution of velocity increment probability density functions from Gaussian to stretched exponentials as the time lag decreases from integra...
متن کاملResonant enhancement of turbulent energy dissipation.
We periodically modulate a turbulent wind-tunnel flow with an active grid. We find a resonant enhancement of the mean turbulent dissipation rate at a modulation frequency which equals the large-eddy turnover rate. Thus, we find the best frequency to inject energy into a turbulent flow. The resonant response is characterized by the emergence of vortical structures in the flow and depends on the ...
