Richardson's pair diffusion and the stagnation point structure of turbulence.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNS and laboratory experiments show that the spatial distribution of straining stagnation points in homogeneous isotropic 3D turbulence has a fractal structure with dimension D(s)=2. In kinematic simulations the exponent gamma in Richardson's law and the fractal dimension D(s) are related by gamma=6/D(s). The Richardson constant is found to be an increasing function of the number density of straining stagnation points in agreement with pair diffusion occurring in bursts when pairs meet such points in the flow.

Particle pair diffusion and persistent streamline topology in two-dimensional turbulence
From observations of direct numerical simulations (DNS) of twodimensional turbulence with inverse energy cascade, two physical pictures of particle pair diffusion are proposed based on persistent streamline topology associated with stagnation points. One picture describes the step-by-step separation process of individual pairs in a local frame moving with them, whereas the other serves as a sta...
متن کاملSpectral Quasi-linearization for MHD Nanofluid Stagnation Boundary Layer Flow due to a Stretching/Shrinking Surface
This article concentrates on the effect of MHD heat mass transfer on the stagnation point nanofluid flow over a stretching or shrinking sheet with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. The flow analysis is disclosed in the neighborhood of stagnation point. Features of heat transport are characterized with Newtonian heating. The homogeneous-heterogeneous chemical reaction between the fluid and di...

In this paper, the effect of air turbulence intensity on the flame structure in various radii and lengths of a flame holder numerically studied. Finite volume method is used to solve the governing equations. The obtained numerical results using realizable k-ε and β-PDF models show a good agreement with the experimental data. The results show that flame holder with greater lengths yield shorter ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Entropy Generation in Stagnation Point Flow of Nano Fluid Impinging on the Cylinder with Constant Wall Heat Flux
: In this research, dimensionless temperature and entropy generation for the steady state flow in the stagnation point of incompressible nanofluid impinging on an infinite cylinder have been investigated. The impinging free stream is steady with a constant strain rate k. Similarity solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and energy equation is derived in this problem. A reduction of these equa...
متن کاملExistence Results of best Proximity Pairs for a Certain Class of Noncyclic Mappings in Nonreflexive Banach Spaces Polynomials
Introduction Let be a nonempty subset of a normed linear space . A self-mapping is said to be nonexpansive provided that for all . In 1965, Browder showed that every nonexpansive self-mapping defined on a nonempty, bounded, closed and convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space , has a fixed point. In the same year, Kirk generalized this existence result by using a geometric notion of ...
