Statistics and geometry in high-Schmidt number scalar mixing
The mixing of substances is present in various turbulent systems. Examples arise in reacting flows and combustion, mixing of salt and plankton in oceans and of chemical pollutants in the stratosphere [1]. The physics of scalar mixing depends strongly on the ratio of the kinematic viscosity ν of the fluid to the diffusivity κ of the scalar. It is given by the Schmidt number Sc = ν/κ. For the fol...
متن کاملGeometric features of the mixing of passive scalars at high Schmidt numbers.
The mixing of passive scalars of decreasing diffusivity, advected in each case by the same three-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence, is studied. The mixing becomes more isotropic with decreasing diffusivity. The local flow in the vicinity of steepest negative and positive scalar gradients is in general different, and its behavior is studied for various values of the scalar diffusivity. Mixing...
متن کاملGeometry of intensive scalar dissipation events in turbulence.
The maxima of the scalar dissipation rate in turbulence appear in the form of sheets and correspond to the potentially most intensive scalar mixing events. Their cross section extension determines a locally varying diffusion scale of the mixing process and extends the classical Batchelor picture of one mean diffusion scale. The distribution of the local diffusion scales is analyzed for differen...
متن کاملSimulations of Three-Dimensional Turbulent Mixing for Schmidt Numbers of the Order 1000
We report basic results from new numerical simulations of passive scalar mixing at Schmidt numbers (Sc) of the order of 1000 in isotropic turbulence. The required high grid-resolution is made possible by simulating turbulence at very low Reynolds numbers, which nevertheless possesses universality in dissipative scales of motion. The results obtained are qualitatively consistent with those based...
متن کاملImproved Lagrangian mixing models for passive scalars in isotropic turbulence
Lagrangian data for velocity, scalars, and energy and scalar dissipation from direct numerical simulations are used to validate Lagrangian mixing models for inert passive scalars in stationary isotropic turbulence. The scalar fluctuations are nearly Gaussian, and, as a result of production by uniform mean gradients, statistically stationary. Comparisons are made for Taylor-scale Reynolds number...
