Methods for measuring energy dissipation rate in anisotropic turbulence

چکیده

Energy dissipation rate, ε, is an important parameter for nearly every experiment on turbulent flow. Mathematically precise relationships between ε and other measurable statistics for the case of anisotropic turbulence are useful to experimentalists. Such relationships are obtained for which the measurable statistics are the 3rd-order and 2nd-order velocity structure functions as well as the acceleration-velocity structure function. The relationships are derived using the NavierStokes equation without approximation. Approximate versions are obtained on the basis of local stationarity and local homogeneity. The latter are valid for arbitrary Reynolds numbers for the case of stationary, homogeneous turbulence. Precise use of the mathematics requires care noted in the Discussion section.

Universal Multifractal Properties of the Small Scale Intermittency in Anisotropic and Inhomogeneous Turbulence

The notion of self-similar energy cascades and multifractality has long since been connected with fully developed, homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. We introduce a number of amendments to the standard methods for analysing the multifractal properties of the energy dissipation field of a turbulent flow. We conjecture that the scaling assumption for the moments of the energy dissipation rate ...

Implicit large eddy simulations of anisotropic weakly compressible turbulence with application to core-collapse supernovae

In the implicit large eddy simulation (ILES) paradigm, the dissipative nature of high-resolution shock-capturing schemes is exploited to provide an implicit model of turbulence. The ILES approach has been applied to different contexts, with varying degrees of success. It is the de-facto standard in many astrophysical simulations and in particular in studies of core-collapse supernovae (CCSN). R...

Scaling law of the plasma turbulence with non conservative fluxes

where kd is Kolmogorov dissipation wave number, α1 and α2 are some constants and 1 ≤ n ≤ 2 (see, e.g., [1] and references therein). In the case of plasma turbulence existence of various kinetic mechanisms of dissipation makes the situation much more complicated. For instance, observations of the solar wind turbulence [10, 11, 12] strongly suggest steep power law spectrum of the magnetic field f...

A model for the dissipation rate tensor in inhomogeneous and anisotropic turbulence

A model for the dissipation rate tensor in anisotropic inhomogeneous turbulence is developed. By including terms that depend on gradients a dissipation model is developed that is exact in the limit of very strong inhomogeneity (such as near solid walls or free surfaces). Rapid distortion theory and equilibrium theory are used to motivate the anisotropic terms in the model. The resulting model h...

Numerical 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...
