Buoyancy statistics in moist turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection
We study shallow moist Rayleigh–Bénard convection in the Boussinesq approximation in three-dimensional direct numerical simulations. The thermodynamics of phase changes is approximated by a piecewise linear equation of state close to the phase boundary. The impact of phase changes on the turbulent fluctuations and the transfer of buoyancy through the layer is discussed as a function of the Rayl...
متن کاملNonextensive statistics in viscous fingering
Measurements in turbulent flows have revealed that the velocity field in nonequilibrium systems exhibits q-exponential or power law distributions in agreement with theoretical arguments based on nonextensive statistical mechanics. Here we consider Hele-Shaw flow as simulated by the Lattice Boltzmann method and find similar behavior from the analysis of velocity field measurements. For the trans...
متن کاملConvection driven by centrifugal buoyancy in nematics
The onset of thermal convection in a nematic contained in a vertical rotating cylindrical annulus heated from the outside is studied as a function of the planar alignment of the liquid crystal director n. When n is horizontal, the results confirm data on gravitational buoyancy. An original first order like convection mode is obtained when n is parallel to the cylinder axis. Thermal convection i...
متن کاملLog-amplitude statistics of non-Gaussian fluctuations
To quantify heavy-tailed distributions observed in financial time series, we propose a general method to characterize symmetric non-Gaussian distributions. In our approach, an observed time series is assumed to be described by the multiplication of Gaussian and amplitude random variables, where the amplitude variable describes fluctuations of the standard deviation. Based on this framework, it ...
متن کاملNon-Gaussian statistics of multiple filamentation.
We consider the statistics of light amplitude fluctuations for the propagation of a laser beam subjected to multiple filamentation in an amplified Kerr media, with both linear and nonlinear dissipation. Dissipation arrests the catastrophic collapse of filaments, causing their disintegration into almost linear waves. These waves form a nearly Gaussian random field that seeds new filaments. For s...
