Temperature Spectra in Shear Ow and Thermal Convection

چکیده
We show that the P u (!) / ! ?7=3 shear velocity power spectrum gives rise to a P (!) / ! ?4=3 power spectrum for a passively advected scalar, as measured in experiment high Rayleigh number Rayleigh Benard ow, we can account for the measured scaling exponents equally well as the Bolgiano Obukhov theory (BO59). Yet, of the two explanations , only the shear approach might be able to explain why no classical scaling range is seen in between the shear (or BO59) range and the viscous subrange of the experimental

Unsteady free convection flow between two vertical plates with variable temperature and mass diffusion
The unsteady free convection flow between two long vertical parallel plates withvariable temperature and mass diffusion in the presence of the thermal radiation hasbeen presented. The governing dimensionless coupled linear partial differentialequations on the flow are solved by using the Laplace transform technique. TheExact solutions have been obtained for the fluid velocity, temperature and t...
متن کاملEffect of slip and variable thermal boundary conditions on hydromagnetic mixed convection flow and heat transfer from a non-linearly stretching surface
The effect of partial slip and temperature dependent fluid properties on the MHD mixed convection flow from a heated, non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiation and non-uniform internal heat generation/absorption is investigated. The velocity of the stretching surface was assumed to vary according to power-law form. Thermal transport is analyzed for two types of non-isothermal...
متن کاملTemperature spectra in shear flow and thermal convection
We show that the Pu(ω) ∝ ω −7/3 shear velocity power spectrum gives rise to a PΘ(ω) ∝ ω −4/3 power spectrum for a passively advected scalar, as measured in experiment [K. Sreenivasan, Proc. R. Soc. London A 434, 165 (1991)]. Applying our argument to high Rayleigh number Rayleigh Benard flow, we can account for the measured scaling exponents equally well as the Bolgiano Obukhov theory (BO59). Ye...

In this paper, the problem of coupled heat and mass transfer by a natural-convection boundary-layer fl ow of a micropolar fl uid past a vertical fl at plate in a saturated porous medium with streamwise sinusoidal variations of both the surface temperature and species concentration in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction eff ects is investigated. A suitable set of dimensionles...
