Explicit predictability and dispersion scaling exponents in fully developed turbulence
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply a simple method to provide explicit expressions for different scaling exponents in intermittent fully developed turbulence, that before were only given through a Legendre transform. This includes predictability exponents for infinitesimal and non infinitesimal perturbations, Lagrangian velocity exponents, and dispersion exponents. We obtain also new results concerning inverse statistics corresponding to exit-time moments.

Relating Lagrangian passive scalar scaling exponents to Eulerian scaling exponents in turbulence
Intermittency is a basic feature of fully developed turbulence, for both velocity and passive scalars. Intermittency is classically characterized by Eulerian scaling exponent of structure functions. The same approach can be used in a Lagrangian framework to characterize the temporal intermittency of the velocity and passive scalar concentration of a an element of fluid advected by a turbulent i...
متن کاملRelative dispersion in fully developed turbulence: the Richardson's law and intermittency corrections.
Relative dispersion in fully developed turbulence is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations. Lagrangian statistics is found to be compatible with Richardson description although small systematic deviations are found. The value of the Richardson constant is estimated as C2 approximately equal to 0.55, in a close agreement with recent experimental findings [S. Ott and J. Mann, J. F...
متن کاملGeneralized statistical mechanics and fully developed turbulence
The statistical properties of fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence can be successfully described using methods from nonextensive statistical mechanics. The predicted probability densities and scaling exponents precisely coincide with what is measured in various turbulence experiments. As a dynamical basis for nonextensive behaviour we consider nonlinear Langevin equations with fluctuating fr...
متن کاملPair dispersion in synthetic fully developed turbulence.
The Lagrangian statistics of relative dispersion in fully developed turbulence is numerically investigated. A scaling range spanning many decades is achieved by generating a two-dimensional velocity field by means of a stochastic process with prescribed statistics and of a dynamical model (shell model) with fluctuating characteristic times. When the velocity field obeys Kolmogorov similarity, t...
متن کاملChaotic Lagrangian models for turbulent relative dispersion.
A deterministic multiscale dynamical system is introduced and discussed as a prototype model for relative dispersion in stationary, homogeneous, and isotropic turbulence. Unlike stochastic diffusion models, here trajectory transport and mixing properties are entirely controlled by Lagrangian chaos. The anomalous "sweeping effect," a known drawback common to kinematic simulations, is removed thr...
