Simulation of Low Reynolds Number Isotropic Turbulence Including the Passive Scalar
Full simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence containing a homogeneous passive scalar were made at low Reynolds numbers and various Prandtl numbers. The results show that the spectral behavior of the two fields are quite similar; both fields decay as power-law functions of time. However. the decay exponent is quite dependent on both the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The decay exponent of...
متن کاملFinite size corrections to scaling in high Reynolds number turbulence.
We study analytically and numerically the corrections to scaling in turbulence which arise due to the finite ratio of the outer scale L of turbulence to the viscous scale η, i.e., they are due to finite size effects as anisotropic forcing or boundary conditions at large scales. We find that the deviations δζm from the classical Kolmogorov scaling ζm = m/3 of the velocity moments 〈|u(k)|m〉 ∝ km ...
متن کاملPrandtl number dependence of the viscous boundary layer and the Reynolds numbers in Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We report results from high Prandtl number turbulent thermal convection experiments. The viscous boundary layer and the Reynolds number are measured in four different fluids over wide ranges of the Prandtl number Pr and the Rayleigh number Ra, all in a single convection cell of unity aspect ratio. We find that the normalized viscous layer thickness may be represented as delta(v)/L=0.65Pr(0.24)R...
متن کاملTemperature power spectra and the viscous boundary layer in thermal turbulence: the role of Prandtl number
We report an experimental investigation on the relationship between the thickness of the viscous boundary layer and the highest excitation (or cuto ) frequency of the temperature power spectrum in turbulent convection, using water as working uid. For the range of the Rayleigh number spanned in the experiment (10–10), we con rm that the peak position in the cuto frequency pro le can be used as a...
متن کاملRayleigh and Prandtl number scaling in the bulk of Rayleigh–Bénard turbulence
The Ra and Pr number scaling of the Nusselt number Nu, the Reynolds number Re, the temperature fluctuations, and the kinetic and thermal dissipation rates is studied for snumericald homogeneous Rayleigh–Bénard turbulence, i.e., Rayleigh–Bénard turbulence with periodic boundary conditions in all directions and a volume forcing of the temperature field by a mean gradient. This system serves as mo...
