Some Qualitative Features of Turbulent Mixing for Far from Equilibrium Phenomena
نویسنده
چکیده
The turbulence phenomenon is a modern component of fluid kinematics. In this area, the turbulent mixing is distinguished by its importance in applied engineering (including technical, social, economic applications). The turbulent mixing is an important feature of far from equilibrium models.Studying a mixing for a flow implies the analysis of successive stretching and folding phenomena for its particles, the influence of parameters and initial conditions, and also the issue of significant events – such as rare events and their physical mean. A comparison between two and three dimensional flows produces useful remarks.

How a "pinch of salt" can tune chaotic mixing of colloidal suspensions.
Efficient mixing of colloids, particles or molecules is a central issue in many processes. It results from the complex interplay between flow deformations and molecular diffusion, which is generally assumed to control the homogenization processes. In this work we demonstrate on the contrary that despite fixed flow and self-diffusion conditions, the chaotic mixing of colloidal suspensions can be...
متن کاملIntroduction to Schramm-Loewner evolution and its application to critical systems
In this short review we look at recent advances in Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) theory and its application to critical phenomena. The application of SLE goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. Through the use of SLE, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...

The mixing of transported scalars in turbulent flows is a classic topic in turbulence research. The “diffusing power” of turbulent flows was originally recognized, among others, by Taylor (1915) since the beginning of the last century. Later on, Taylor (1921, 1935) also provided the first statistical framework to predict turbulent diffusion in air streams, as well as the scalar mixing in pipe f...
متن کاملTurbulent mixing and beyond: non-equilibrium processes from atomistic to astrophysical scales.
Turbulent mixing is a source of paradigm problems in physics, engineering and mathematics. Beyond this important interdisciplinary role, it has immense consequences for a broad range of applications in astrophysics, geophysics, climate and large-scale energy systems. In two volumes, we summarize and provide a perspective on the topic through some 20 articles focusing on turbulent mixing and bey...
متن کاملTurbulent mixing and beyond.
Turbulence is a supermixer. Turbulent mixing has immense consequences for physical phenomena spanning astrophysical to atomistic scales under both high- and low-energy-density conditions. It influences thermonuclear fusion in inertial and magnetic confinement systems; governs dynamics of supernovae, accretion disks and explosions; dominates stellar convection, planetary interiors and mantle-lit...
