Scaling and universality in turbulent convection.
Anomalous correlation functions of the temperature field in two-dimensional turbulent convection are shown to be universal with respect to the choice of external sources. Moreover, they are equal to the anomalous correlations of the concentration field of a passive tracer advected by the convective flow itself. The statistics of velocity differences is found to be universal, self-similar, and c...
متن کاملVelocity and temperature cross-scaling in turbulent thermal convection
We analyse simultaneous velocity and temperature measurements in turbulent thermal convection. Our results show the existence of a cross-scaling between the normalized velocity and temperature structure functions, as implied by the Bolgiano–Obukhov scaling, at the centre of the convection cell. We find that the cross-scaling exponents are, however, different from the values implied by the Bolgi...
متن کاملDynamics and scaling in quasi-two-dimensional turbulent convection
High Rayleigh number (4 x 104-3 × 107) quasi-two-dimensional convection is studied experimentally, numerically, and theoretically. The fluid is contained in an isothermal Hele-Shaw cell, which enforces the two dimensionality, and the convection is driven by an externally imposed vertical concentration gradient. The full two dimensional concentration field is imaged experimentally and is sampled...
متن کاملScaling laws in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection under different geometry
A systematic study of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection is carried out in two horizontal cylindrical cells of different lengths filled with water. Global heat transport and local temperature and velocity measurements are made over varying Rayleigh numbers Ra. The scaling behavior of the measured Nusselt number Nu(Ra) and the Reynolds number Re(Ra) associated with the large-scale circulation ...
متن کاملScaling of the velocity power spectra in turbulent thermal convection.
We report measurements of the local velocity in a convection cell filled with water. In the buoyancy subrange (the scales between the Bolgiano scale f(B) and the integral scale f(o)), two scaling regions of the velocity frequency power spectra, separated by the peak frequency f(p) of the dissipation spectra, are found. For f(p)<f<f(B), we observe a power law with the Bolgiano-Obukhov scaling ex...
