Numerical investigation of turbulence generation in non-breaking potential waves
[1] Theoretically, potential waves cannot generate the vortex motion, but scale considerations indicate that if the steepness of waves is not too small, Reynolds number can exceed critical values. This means that in presence of initial non-potential disturbances the orbital velocities can generate the vortex motion and turbulence. In the paper, this problem was investigated numerically on basis...
متن کاملSimulating Turbulence
We investigate the core mass distributio (CMD) resulting from numerical models of turbulent fragmentation of molecular clouds. In particular we study its dependence on the sonic rms Mach numberMs. We analyze simulations withMs ranging from 1 to 15 to show that, asMs increases, the number of cores increases as well, while their average m ss decreases. This stems from the fact that high Mach numb...
متن کاملHigh–Reynolds Number Wall Turbulence
We review wall-bounded turbulent flows, particularly high–Reynolds number, zero–pressure gradient boundary layers, and fully developed pipe and channel flows. It is apparent that the approach to an asymptotically high– Reynolds number state is slow, but at a sufficiently high Reynolds number the log law remains a fundamental part of the mean flow description. With regard to the coherent motions...
متن کاملTurbulence Model Selection for Low Reynolds Number Flows
One of the major flow phenomena associated with low Reynolds number flow is the formation of separation bubbles on an airfoil's surface. NACA4415 airfoil is commonly used in wind turbines and UAV applications. The stall characteristics are gradual compared to thin airfoils. The primary criterion set for this work is the capture of laminar separation bubble. Flow is simulated for a Reynolds numb...
متن کاملA novel laboratory apparatus for simulating isotropic oceanic turbulence at low Reynolds number
A new experimental apparatus to simulate oceanic turbulence at low Reynolds number in the laboratory is described. Actuators located at each corner of a cubic Plexiglas box generated synthetic jets that interacted to create turbulent flow at the center of the saltwater apparatus. Four turbulent intensity levels were established, and velocity measurements were performed using digital particle im...
