On the turbulence models and turbulent Schmidt number in simulating stratified flows
Stratified flows are prevalent in indoor and outdoor environments. To predict these flows, this investigation evaluated the performance of seven turbulence models by comparing the simulation results with the experimental data of both weakly and strongly stratified jets. The models tested included six Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models and one Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model. The ve...
متن کاملUnderstanding Ferrofluid Spin-Up Flows in Rotating Uniform Magnetic Fields
Ferrofluid spin-up flow has been studied in finite height cylinders and spheres subjected to a uniform rotating magnetic field. Ultrasound measurements in finite height cylinders with a free surface show the presence of surface driven flows as well as bulk flows. In finite height cylinders with a cover, only bulk flows exist. Ultrasound measurements in fully filled spheres of ferrofluid give ne...
متن کاملThe instability of stratified flows at large Richardson numbers.
In contrast to conventional expectations based on the stability of steady shear flows, elementary time-periodic stratified flows that are unstable at arbitrarily large Richardson numbers are presented here. The fundamental instability is a parametric one with twice the period of the basic state. This instability spontaneously generates local shears on buoyancy time scales near a specific angle ...

متن کاملVortical and Wave Modes in 3D Rotating Stratified Flows: Random Large Scale Forcing
Utilizing an eigenfunction decomposition, we study the growth and spectra of energy in the vortical (geostrophic) and wave (ageostrophic) modes of a three-dimensional (3D) rotating stratified fluid as a function of ǫ = f/N , where f is the Coriolis parameter and N is the Brunt-Vaisala frequency. Throughout we employ a random large scale forcing in a unit aspect ratio domain and set these parame...
