Schmidt number dependence of derivative moments for quasi-static straining motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bounds on high-order derivative moments of a passive scalar are obtained for large values of the Schmidt number, Sc. The procedure is based on the approach pioneered by Batchelor for the viscous–convective range. The upper bounds for derivative moments of order n are shown to grow as Sc for very large Schmidt numbers. The results are consistent with direct numerical simulations of a passive scalar, with Sc from 1/4 to 64, mixed by homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Although the analysis does not provide proper bounds for normalized moments, the combination of analysis and numerical data suggests that they decay with Sc, at least for odd orders.

Evaluating the Validity of Quasi-Static Analysis for Prediction of Vessel Mooring Line Forces
Quasi-Static analysis of moored vessels is vastly used for engineering designs, as a substitute to the numerical simulation of dynamic mooring analysis. Yet, the level of validity of the results of quasi-static analysis is a matter of discussion. In the present study, the validation of the assumptions behind the quasi-static analysis of mooring vessels is examined with application of a dynamic ...
متن کاملDerivative moments in turbulent shear flows
We propose a generalized perspective on the behavior of high-order derivative moments in turbulent shear flows by taking account of the roles of small-scale intermittency and mean shear, in addition to the Reynolds number. Two asymptotic regimes are discussed with respect to shear effects. By these means, some existing disagreements on the Reynolds number dependence of derivative moments can be...
متن کاملFrom Quasi-static to Kinodynamic Planning for Spherical Tensegrity Locomotion
Tensegrity-based robots can achieve locomotion through shape deformation and compliance. They are highly adaptable to surroundings, have light weight, low cost and high endurance. Their high dimensionality and highly dynamic nature, however, complicate motion planning. So far, only rudimentary quasi-static solutions have been achieved, which do not utilize tensegrity dynamics. This work explore...
متن کاملQuasi-Static Numerical Simulation of Missile Staging
In this study, the missile staging process by implementing a side-injected jet is simulated numerically. The problem is considered to be axisymmetric and the thin shear layer approximation of Navier-Stokes equations along with an algebraic turbulence model is used in a quasi-static form for the calculations. The free stream corresponds to a very high altitude flight condition with a Mach number...
