Possible Effects of Small-Scale Intermittency in Turbulent Reacting Flows
It is now well established that quantities such as energy dissipation, scalar dissipation and enstrophy possess huge fluctuations in turbulent flows, and that the fluctuations become increasingly stronger with increasing Reynolds number of the flow. The effects of this small-scale “intermittency” on various aspects of reacting flows have not been addressed fully. This paper draws brief attentio...
متن کاملSmall and Large Scale Fluctuations in Atmospheric Wind Speeds
Atmospheric wind speeds and their fluctuations at different locations (onshore and offshore) are examined. One of the most striking features is the marked intermittency of probability density functions (PDF) of velocity differences – no matter what location is considered. The shape of these PDFs is found to be robust over a wide range of scales which seems to contradict the mathematical concept...
متن کاملSmall-scale anisotropy and intermittency in high and low-latitude solar wind
We analyze low and high–latitude fast solar wind data from the Ulysses spacecraft from 1992 to 1994 using a a systematic method to analyse the anisotropic content of the magnetic field fluctuations. We investigate all available frequencies, 1−10Hz, for both high and low–latitudes datasets and are able to quantify the relative importance of the anisotropic versus the isotropic fluctuations. We a...
متن کاملSmall-scale intermittency in anisotropic turbulence.
Isotropic, rotating, and stratified turbulent flows are analyzed using a scale- and direction-dependent flatness. The anisotropy of the spatial fluctuations of the energy distribution can hereby be quantified for different length scales. This measure allows one to distinguish between longitudinal and transversal intermittency as well as between horizontal and vertical intermittency. The differe...
متن کامل2 Probabilistic Description of Wind Gusts
Velocity measurements of wind blowing near the North Sea border of Northern Germany and velocity measurements under local isotropic conditions of a turbulent wake behind a cylinder are compared. It is shown that wind gusts – measured by means of velocity increments – do show similar statistics to the laboratory data, if they are conditioned on an averaged wind speed value. Clear differences bet...
