Statistical dependency of eddies of different sizes in turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental data of a fluid turbulence is analysed with respect to the statistical dependency of eddies of different length scales. The joint probability distributions of velocity fluctuations of two different length scales ̧ 1 , ̧ 2 are evaluated. We quantify statistical dependency by calculating the correlation function as well as a suitably defined Kullback information.

A contribution to approximate analytical evaluation of Fourier series via an Applied Analysis standpoint; an application in turbulence spectrum of eddies
In the present paper, we shall attempt to make a contribution to approximate analytical evaluation of the harmonic decomposition of an arbitrary continuous function. The basic assumption is that the class of functions that we investigate here, except the verification of Dirichlet's principles, is concurrently able to be expanded in Taylor's representation, over a particular interval of their do...
متن کاملMixing Generated by Rayleigh-taylor and Richtmyer-meshkov Instabilities
We apply the Canuto-Goldman (CG) analytical model to turbulence generated by the class of instabilities which have a power-law growth rate. For the case of Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability we compare the results of the model with the experiments of Read and Youngs and find reasonable agreement on the scale size of large eddies: they are predicted to be a0% of the mixing length and are at least ...
متن کاملHierarchical Structures and Scalings in Turbulence
Turbulence is a mixture of hierarchical structures (eddies) of diierent sizes, diierent amplitudes and diierent degree of coherence. The size distributes continuously from the integral scalè0 to dissipation scale. At each scalè (`0 < ` <), the most intermittent structures have the highest amplitude with the highest degree of coherence. Structures of lower amplitudes are related to the most inte...
متن کاملSimple model for turbulence intermittencies based on self-avoiding random vortex stretching.
Whether statistics of intermittencies (between small and large eddies) in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence should be described by a logarithmic-Poisson, a logarithmic-stable probability density function, or other is still debated nowadays. In this paper, a bridge between polymer physics, self-avoiding walk, and random vortex stretching is established which may help to obtain new insights on...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of the shallow water system.
We extend the formalism of statistical mechanics developed for the two-dimensional (2D) Euler equation to the case of shallow water system. Relaxation equations towards the maximum entropy state are proposed, which provide a parametrization of subgrid-scale eddies in 2D compressible turbulence.
