Convergence of Passive Scalar Fields in OrnsteinUhlenbeck Flows to Kraichnan's Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that the passive scalar field in the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck velocity field with wave-number dependent correlation times converges, in the white-noise limit, to that of Kraichnan’s model with higher spatial regularity.

Simulation of Low Reynolds Number Isotropic Turbulence Including the Passive Scalar
Full simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence containing a homogeneous passive scalar were made at low Reynolds numbers and various Prandtl numbers. The results show that the spectral behavior of the two fields are quite similar; both fields decay as power-law functions of time. However. the decay exponent is quite dependent on both the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The decay exponent of...
متن کاملA Multiscale Measure for Quantifying Mixing of Passive Scalar Fields
In spite of a large amount of recent research on the problem of fluid mixing and its control, there is no consensus on a proper measure for quantifying mixing. We present a measure of mixing that is based on the concept of weak convergence and is capable of probing the “mixedness” of the advected passive scalar field at various scales. This new measure, called the Mix-Norm, resolves the inabili...

متن کاملActive and passive fields face to face
The statistical properties of active and passive scalar fields transported by the same turbulent flow are investigated. Four examples of active scalar have been considered: temperature in thermal convection, magnetic potential in two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics, vorticity in two-dimensional Ekman turbulence and potential temperature in surface flows. In the cases of temperature and vortici...
متن کاملAn elementary model for the validation of flamelet approximations in non-premixed turbulent combustion
The fundamental soundness of three flamelet models for non-premixed turbulent combustion is examined on the basis of their performance in an idealized model problem that merges ideas from the laminar asymptotic theory for non-premixed flames and rigorous homogenization theory for the diffusion of a passive scalar. The overall flame configuration is stabilized by a mean gradient in the passive s...
