Mixing in vortical, chaotic and turbulent flows.
نویسنده
چکیده
Mixing is discussed in relation to stirring as reflected in the geometry of advected interfaces, the behaviour of fluid-element pairs and their separation rates. Stirring is different in vortical, chaotic and turbulent flows because of qualitative differences in spatio-temporal flow structure, thus giving rise to different mixing laws. Important applications of the mixing and stirring properties discussed in this review are chlorine deactivation and ozone depletion in stratospheric mid-latitudes.

Chaotic stirring in quasi-turbulent flows.
Transport in laminar flows is governed by chaotic stirring and striation in long thin filaments. In turbulent flows, isotropic mixing dominates and tracers behave like stochastic variables. In this paper, we investigate the quasi-turbulent, intermediate regime where both chaotic stirring and turbulent mixing coexist. In these flows, the most common in nature, aperiodic Lagrangian coherent struc...
متن کاملThe spatial relationships between dissipation and production rates and vortical structures in turbulent boundary and mixing layers
A novel approach for studying the spatial relationship between the production and dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy and vortical structures is presented. Two turbulent flows were investigated: the zero pressure gradient boundary layer and the two-stream mixing layer. In both flows, a multisensor hot-wire probe was used to measure the velocity components in all three coordinate direc...
متن کاملNearly Discontinuous Chaotic Mixing
A new scientific approach to subgrid scale modeling is presented for chaotic problems involving a high degree of mixing over rapid time scales. RichtmyerMeshkov unstable flows are typical of such problems. Chemical reaction rates for turbulent mixtures are shown to converge with feasible grid resolution. The essential dependence of fluid mixing observables on transport phenomena is observed.

A turbulent flow is characterised by an unpredictable behaviour, a broad spectrum of length and time scales, and its strong mixing properties. Turbulent flows have a great mixing potential involving a wide range of vortical length scales. In steady flows, the turbulence measurements must be conducted at high frequency to resolve the small eddies and the viscous dissipation process. They must al...
