Modeling return to isotropy using kinetic equations

چکیده
Kinetic equations modeling the behavior of the velocity probability density function sPDFd in homogeneous anisotropic decaying turbulence are hypothesized and their implications for return-to-isotropy are investigated. Anisotropic turbulent decay is a parametrically simple but theoretically complex turbulent flow that is dominated by nonlinear interactions. The physical implications of the Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook model, a relaxation model, and the Fokker–Planck model for the “collision” term in the PDF evolution equation are analyzed in detail. Using fairly general assumptions about the physics, three different parameter-free return-to-isotropy models are proposed. These models are compared with experimental data, classical models, and analytical limits. The final model expression is particularly interesting, and can easily be implemented in classic Reynolds stress transport models. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1839153g

متن کاملSimulation and modeling of turbulence subjected to a period of uniform plane strain
Direct numerical simulation is used to evaluate the effect of plane strain on isotropic homogeneous turbulence. The subsequent return to isotropy after the removal of the strain is also investigated. Large, moderate, and small strain rates are computed at moderate turbulence Reynolds numbers. The initial turbulence is generated via mechanical mixing so that the large scale turbulence develops r...
