Asymptotic formulas for the Lyapunov spectrum of fully developed shell model turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scaling behavior of the Lyapunov spectrum of a chaotic shell model for three-dimensional turbulence is studied in detail. First, we characterize the localization property of the Lyapunov vectors in wave-number space by using numerical results. By combining this localization property with Kolmogorov’s dimensional argument, we deduce explicitly the asymptotic scaling law for the Lyapunov spectrum, which in turn is shown to agree well with the numerical results. This shell model is an example of high-dimensional chaotic systems for which an asymptotic scaling law is obtained for the Lyapunov spectrum. Implications of the present results for the Navier-Stokes turbulence are discussed. In particular, we conjecture that the distribution of Lyapunov exponents is not singular at null exponent. @S1063-651X~98!50206-1#

Asymptotic formulae for the Lyapunov spectrum of fully-developed shell model turbulence
We study the scaling behavior of the Lyapunov spectra of a chaotic shell model for 3D turbulence. First, we quantify localization of the Lyapunov vectors in the wavenumber space by using the numerical results. Using dimensional arguments of Kolmogorov-type, we then deduce explicitly the asymptotic scaling behavior of the Lyapunov spectra. This in turn is confirmed by numerical results. This she...
متن کاملChaotic properties of a fully developed model turbulence
Shell models of turbulence have been employed as toy models which, in their chaotic states, show statistical properties similar to real fluid turbulence, including Kolmogorov energy spectrum and intermittency. These models are interesting because, at the present stage, it is still quite difficult or almost impossible to study relations between those traditional statistical properties and the st...

One of the newest of viscoelastic RANS turbulence models for drag reducing channel flow with polymer additives is studied in different flow and rheological properties. In this model, finitely extensible nonlinear elastic-Peterlin (FENE-P) constitutive model is used to describe the viscoelastic effect of polymer solution and turbulence model is developed in the k-ϵ-(ν^2 ) ̅-f framework. The geome...
متن کاملPermanence and global asymptotic stability of a delayed predator-prey model with Hassell-Varley type functional response
Here, a predator-prey model with Hassell-Varley type functional responses is studied. Some sufficient conditions are obtained for the permanence and global asymptotic stability of the system by using comparison theorem and constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. Moreover, an example is illustrated to verify the results by simulation.
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Separation Bubble on Elliptic Cylinders Using Three-equation k-? Turbulence Model
Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...
