The need for small-scale turbulence in atmospheres of substellar objects
Brown dwarfs and giant gas planets are substellar objects whose spectral appearance is determined by the chemical composition of the gas and the solids/liquids in the atmosphere. Atmospheres of substellar objects possess two major scale regimes: large-scale convective motions + gravitational settling and small-scale turbulence + dust formation. Turbulence initiates dust formation spot-like on s...
متن کاملXXII ICTAM, 25–29 August 2008, Adelaide, Australia ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LARGE- AND SMALL-SCALE MOTIONS IN TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYERS
The relationship between largeand small-scale motions remains a poorly understood process in wall-bounded turbulence. Investigation performed by Hutchins and Marusic [3] in a high Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer has recently revealed a possible influence of large-scale log region motions on the small-scale near-wall cycle, akin to a pure amplitude modulation. For this study we build up...
متن کاملNonlinear shear-current dynamo and magnetic helicity transport in sheared turbulence
The nonlinear mean-field dynamo due to a shear-current effect in a nonhelical homogeneous turbulence with a mean velocity shear is discussed. The transport of magnetic helicity as a dynamical nonlinearity is taken into account. The shear-current effect is associated with the W×J term in the mean electromotive force, where W is the mean vorticity due to the large-scale shear motions and J is the...
متن کامل4.13 Estimates of Upper Level Turbulence Based on Second Order Structure Functions Derived from Numerical Weather Prediction Model Output
Estimates of small-scale turbulence from numerical model output are produced from local estimates of the spatial structure functions of model variables such as velocity and temperature. The key assumptions used are the existence of a universal statistical description of small-scale turbulence and a locally universal spatial filter for the model variables. The shape of the model spatial filter i...
متن کاملThe E ect of Small Scale Magnetic Fields on the GalacticDynamoBenjamin
If the galaxy is born with a very weak seed eld, magnetic energy starts growing rapidly on scales smaller than the smallest turbulent eddies in the interstellar medium (ISM). The small scale eld acts like a tangled network of rubber bands, making the ISM elastic to large scale motions. The hydrodynamic shear modes of the interstellar turbulence, which start out with zero frequency, become Alfve...
