The Anisotropy of Low Prandtl Number Turbulent Convection
A model for homogeneous anisotropic incompressible turbulence is proposed. The model generalizes the GISS model of homogeneous isotropic turbulence; the generalization involves the solution of the GISS equations along a set of integration paths in wavenumber (k-) space. In order to make the problem tractable, these integration paths (“cascade lines”) must be chosen in such a way that the behavi...
متن کاملBifurcation of Infinite Prandtl Number Rotating Convection
We consider infinite Prandtl number convection with rotation which is the basic model in geophysical fluid dynamics. For the rotation free case, the rigorous analysis has been provided by Park [15, 16, 17] under various boundary conditions. By thoroughly investigating We prove in this paper that the solutions bifurcate from the trivial solution u = 0 to an attractor ΣR which consists of only on...
متن کاملOnset of zero Prandtl number convection
The transition to convection in a zero Prandtl number fluid with stress-free and perfectly conducting boundaries differs significantly from finite Prandtl number convection, giving rise to a three-dimensional pattern. Two possible scenarios are described and compared with recent numerical simulations by Thual Ii]. The Prandtl number of a fluid can approach zero in one of two ways either because...
متن کاملSolution of a Low Prandtl Number Natural Convection Benchmark by a Local Meshless Method
Purpose – Solution of a highly nonlinear fluid dynamics in a low Prandtl number regime, typical for metal like materials, as defined in the Call for contributions to a numerical benchmark problem for 2D columnar solidification of binary alloys (Bellet, et al., 2009). The solution of such a numerical situation represents the first steps towards understanding the instabilities in a more complex c...
متن کاملTurbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection for a Prandtl number of 0.67
For the Rayleigh-number range 10 Ra 10 we report measurements of the Nusselt number Nu and of properties of the large-scale circulation (LSC) for cylindrical samples of helium gas (Prandtl number Pr=0.674) that have aspect ratio Γ ≡D/L=0.50 (D and L are the diameter and the height respectively) and are heated from below. The results for Nu are consistent with recent direct numerical simulations...
