Breakdown of wind in turbulent thermal convection.
We report experiments on turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection of air in a cylindrical large-scale facility with a diameter of 7 meters and Rayleigh numbers up to Ra approximately 10(12). The facility is used to explore the structure of the large-scale circulation for continuously varying aspect ratios between Gamma approximately 1 and Gamma approximately 10. Using autocorrelation functions deri...
متن کاملExtraction of plumes in turbulent thermal convection.
We present a scheme to extract the velocity of buoyant structures in turbulent thermal convection from simultaneous local velocity and temperature measurements. Applying this scheme to measurements taken at positions within the convection cell where the buoyant structures are dominated by plumes, we obtain the temperature dependence of the plume velocity and understand our results using the equ...
متن کاملParticle dispersion in synthetic turbulent flows
We study particle dispersion advected by a synthetic turbulent flow from a Lagrangian perspective and focus on the two-particle and cluster dispersion by the flow. It has been recently reported that Richardson's law for the two-particle dispersion can stem from different dispersion mechanisms, and can be dominated by either diffusive or ballistic events. The nature of the Richardson dispersion ...
متن کاملComparison of Turbulent Particle Dispersion Models in Turbulent Shear Flows
This work compares the performance of two Lagrangian turbulent particle dispersion models: the standard model (e.g., that presented in Sommerfeld et al. (1993)), in which the fluctuating fluid velocity experienced by the particle is composed of two components, one correlated with the previous time step and a second one randomly sampled from a Wiener process, and the model proposed by Minier and...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Nonpenetrative Turbulent Thermal Convection
Nonpenetrative convection Ð in which the lower boundary condition is one of constant heat flux and the upper boundary is insulatedÐ is an idealization of penetrative convection, which finds application in the planetary boundary layer. Three-dimensional, unsteady, ( ) direct numerical simulations 96 = 96 = 128 have been performed of turbulent, nonpene7 trative thermal convection inside a cubical...
