Phototactic clustering of swimming microorganisms in a turbulent velocity field.
We study the distribution of swimming microorganisms advected by a two-dimensional smooth turbulent flow and attracted towards a light source through phototaxis. It is shown that particles aggregate along a dynamical attractor with fractal measure whose dimension depends on the strength of the phototaxis. Using an effective diffusion approximation for the flow, we derive an analytic expression ...

متن کاملPassive Scalar Equation in a Turbulent Incompressible Gaussian Velocity Field
Time evolution of a passive scalar is considered in a turbulent homogeneous incompressible Gaussian flow. The turbulent nature of the flow results in non-smooth coefficients in the corresponding evolution equation. A strong, in the probabilistic sense, solution of the equation is constructed using Wiener Chaos expansion, and the properties of the solution are studied. Among the results obtained...
متن کاملSelf-Diffusion by Multivariate-Normal Turbulent Velocity Field
A closed set of exact equations describing statistical theory of turbulent self-diffusion by multivariate-normal turbulent velocity field is derived. In doing so, we first suggest exact formulas for correlations 〈fi(p)fj(p ′)R[f ]〉, 〈g(p)R[f ]〉 and 〈g(p)fj(p ′)R[f ]〉 when the functional R[f ] is functional of functions fi’s having multivariate-normal distribution, g and fi’s have joint normal d...
متن کاملVelocity Centroids as Tracers of the Turbulent Velocity Statistics
We use the results of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to emulate spectroscopic observations and produce maps with variations of velocity centroids to study their scaling properties. In order to assess under which circumstances the scaling properties of the velocity field can be retrieved from velocity centroids, we compare two point statistics of velocity centroids with those of the under...
