Stratified Kolmogorov flow . Part 2
Forced stratified flows are shown to suffer two types of linear long-wave instability: a ‘viscous’ instability which is related to the classical instability of Kolmogorov flow, and a ‘conductive instability’, with the form of a large-scale, negative thermal diffusion. The nonlinear dynamics of both instabilities is explored with weakly nonlinear theory and numerical computations. The introducti...
متن کاملInvariant recurrent solutions embedded in a turbulent two-dimensional Kolmogorov flow
We consider long-time simulations of two-dimensional turbulence body forced by sin 4yx̂ on the torus (x, y) ∈ [0, 2π]2 with the purpose of extracting simple invariant sets or ‘exact recurrent flows’ embedded in this turbulence. Each recurrent flow represents a sustained closed cycle of dynamical processes which underpins the turbulence. These are used to reconstruct the turbulence statistics usi...

متن کاملScalar decay in a three-dimensional chaotic flow.
The decay of a passive scalar in a three-dimensional chaotic flow is studied using high-resolution numerical simulations. The (volume-preserving) flow considered is a three-dimensional extension of the randomized alternating sine flow employed extensively in studies of mixing in two dimensions. It is used to show that theoretical predictions for two-dimensional flows with small diffusivity carr...
متن کاملDrag reduction in the turbulent Kolmogorov flow.
We investigate the phenomenon of drag reduction in a viscoelastic fluid model of dilute polymer solutions. By means of direct numerical simulations of the three-dimensional turbulent Kolmogorov flow we show that drag reduction takes place above a critical Reynolds number Re(c). An explicit expression for the dependence of Re(c) on polymer elasticity and diffusivity is derived. The values of the...
