Convection Enhanced Diffusion for Periodic Flows

چکیده
This paper studies the influence of convection by periodic or cellular flows on the effective diffusivity of a passive scalar transported by the fluid when the molecular diffusivity is small. The flows are generated by two-dimensional, steady, divergence-free, periodic velocity fields.

Convection-Enhanced Diffusion for Random Flows
We analyze the effective diffusivity of a passive scalar in a two-dimensional, steady, incompressible random flow that has mean zero and a stationary stream function. We show that in the limit of small diffusivity or large Peclet number, with convection dominating, there is substantial enhancement of the effective diffusivity. Our analysis is based on some new variational principles for convect...
متن کاملA fourth-order approximate projection method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on locally-refined periodic domains
In this follow-up of our previous work [Zhang et. al., A fourth-order accurate finitevolume method with structured adaptive mesh refinement for solving the advectiondiffusion equation, SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 34 (2012) B179-B201], the author proposes a high-order semi-implicit method for numerically solving the incompressible NavierStokes equations on locally-refined periodic domains. Fourth-order...
متن کاملSimulation of Rayleigh-Bénard convection using lattice Boltzmann method
Rayleigh-Bénard convection is numerically simulated in twoand three-dimensions using a recently developed two-component lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method. The density field of the second component, which evolves according to the advection-diffusion equation of a passive-scalar, is used to simulate the temperature field. A body force proportional to the temperature is applied, and the syst...
متن کاملL-stability of periodic stationary solutions of scalar convection-diffusion equations
The aim of this paper is to study the L1-stability of periodic stationary solutions of scalar convection-diffusion equations. We obtain dispersion in L2 for all space dimensions using Kružkov type entropy. And when the space dimension is one, we estimate the number of sign changes of a solution to obtain L1-stability. Keyword : L-stability, periodic stationary solutions, entropy, dispersion ine...
متن کاملLagrangian and Moving Mesh Methods for the Convection Diffusion Equation
Abstract. We propose and analyze a semi Lagrangian method for the convection-diffusion equation. Error estimates for both semi and fully discrete finite element approximations are obtained for convection dominated flows. The estimates are posed in terms of the projections constructed in [7, 8] and the dependence of various constants upon the diffusion parameter is characterized. Error estimates...
