Multiscale SOC in turbulent convection
نویسنده
چکیده
Using data obtained in a laboratory thermal convection experiment at high Rayleigh numbers, it is shown that the multiscaling properties of the observed mean wind reversals are quantitatively consistent with analogous multiscaling properties of the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld prototype model of self-organized criticality in two dimensions.

Multiscale Methods for the Simulation of Turbulent Flows
In this paper we apply the finite difference method on adaptive sparse grids [9] to the simulation of turbulent flows. This method combines the flexibility and efficiency of finite difference schemes with the advantages of an adaptive approximation by tensor product multiscale bases. We shortly discuss the method. Then, we present numerical results for a simple linear convection problem for a v...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Effect of Nanoparticles Mean Diameter on Turbulent Mixed Convection of a Nanofluid in a Horizontal Curved tube Using a Two Phase Approach
Turbulent mixed convection of a nanofluid (water/Al2O3, Φ=.02) has been studied numerically. Two-phase mixture model has been used to investigate the effects of nanoparticles mean diameter on the flow parameters. Nanoparticles distribution at the tube cross section shows that the particles are uniformly dispersed. The non-uniformity of the particles distribution occurs in the case of large nano...

The variational multiscale (VMS) method was introduced in [4] as a framework for the development of stabilization techniques, which aim to overcome numerical difficulties encountered when using the standard Galerkin method, the finite element (FE) counterpart of centered finite differences (FD), namley, the compatibility condition between the velocity and pressure FE spaces, which require the u...
متن کاملMultiscale Models with Moisture and Systematic Strategies for Superparameterization
The accurate parameterization of moist convection presents a major challenge for the accurate prediction of weather and climate through numerical models. Superparameterization is a promising recent alternative strategy for including the effects of moist convection through explicit turbulent fluxes calculated from a cloud-resolving model. Basic scales for cloud-resolving modeling are the microsc...
متن کاملNumerical Study of turbulent free convection of liquid metal with constant and variable properties in the presence of magnetic field
In this research, turbulent MHD convection of liquid metal with constant and variable properties is investigated numerically. The finite volume method is applied to model the fluid flow and natural convection heat transfer in a square cavity. The fluid flow and heat transfer were simulated and compared for two cases constant and variable properties. It is observed that for the case variable pro...
