Multicomponent turbulence, the spherical limit, and non-Kolmogorov spectra.

چکیده
It is shown that the generalization of the Navier-Stokes equations to a theory with N “internal state” copies of the velocity fields is a step in a wrong direction: the N → ∞ limit has no physical sense and produces wrong results, whereas the treatment of the first order terms in 1/N is even more complicated than the initial problem of description of turbulence in the frame of the Navier-Stokes equation.

Intermittency in the large N - limit of a spherical shell model for turbulence
A spherical shell model for turbulence, obtained by coupling N replicas of the Gledzer, Okhitani and Yamada shell model, is considered. Conservation of energy and of an helicity-like invariant is imposed in the inviscid limit. In the N → ∞ limit this model is analytically soluble and is remarkably similar to the random coupling model version of shell dynamics. We have studied numerically the co...
متن کاملKolmogorov and nonstationary spectra of optical turbulence.
Optical turbulence, which develops in the transverse directions when a laser beam propagates through a medium, is considered in the framework of the two-dimensional Schrodinger equation with a weak cubic nonlinearity. This classical model of optical turbulence was studied by many authors, but stationary (Kolmogorov) spectra that transfer transverse energy of the waves from large spatial scales...
متن کاملGeneralized atmospheric turbulence MTF for wave propagating through non-Kolmogorov turbulence.
A generalized exponential spectrum model is derived, which considers finite turbulence inner and outer scales and has a general spectral power law value between the range 3 to 5 instead of standard power law value 11/3. Based on this generalized spectrum model, a new generalized long exposure turbulence modulation transfer function (MTF) is obtained for optical plane and spherical wave propagat...
متن کاملA model of laminated wave turbulence
A model of laminated wave turbulence is presented. This model consists of two co-existing layers one with continuous waves’ spectra, covered by KAM theory and Kolmogorov-like power spectra, and one with discrete waves’ spectra, covered by discrete classes of waves and Clipping method. Some known laboratory experiments and numerical simulations are explained in the frame of this model. PACS: 47....
متن کاملInvariance principle for inertial-scale behavior of scalar fields in Kolmogorov-type turbulence
We prove limit theorems for small-scale pair dispersion in synthetic velocity fields with power-law spatial spectra and wavenumber dependent correlation times. These limit theorems are related to a family of generalized Richardson’s laws with a limiting case corresponding to Richardson’s t3and 4/3-laws. We also characterize a regime of positive dissipation of passive scalars. © 2003 Elsevier Sc...
