Eddy Mixing Coefficient On

چکیده
Data on the composition and thermal structure, and the Lyman-alpha dayglow of Saturn when analyzed in conjunction with photochemical models of the hydrocarbons and the atomic hydrogen g reduction yield the homopause value of the eddy diffusion coefficient to be approximately 10 cm2 s-l. The equatorial value of the eddy diffusion coefficient at the homopause of Saturn is thus found to be approximately 100 times greater than on Jupiter. The mesosphere (and presumably, troposphere) of Saturn appears to be considerably more turbulent than the upper atmosphere of Jupiter.

A Numerical Study on Mixing of Transverse Injection in Supersonic Combustor
A numerical study on mixing of hydrogen injected transversely into a supersonic air stream has been performed by solving Two-Dimensional full Navier-Stokes equations. An explicit Harten-Yee Non-MUSCL Modified-flux-type TVD scheme has been used to solve the system of equations, and a zero-equation algebraic turbulence model to calculate the eddy viscosity coefficient. The main objectives of this...
متن کاملLarge eddy simulation of stratified mixing in a three-dimensional lock-exchange system
Accurate and computationally-efficient modeling of stratified mixing processes are of paramount importance in both coastal and large-scale ocean circulation. In this study, our main objective is to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of large eddy simulation (LES) as a possible tool to study small-scale oceanic processes. To this end, LES is evaluated in a 3D lock-exchange problem, which c...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Two Ensemble Eddy Viscosity Models of Fluid Motion
This report extends a recent method that calculates an ensemble of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations efficiently to higher Reynolds number flows. To do so herein we develop and analyze two ensemble eddy viscosity models that do not obviate the good algorithmic properties of the ensemble method. The combined approach of ensemble time stepping and ensemble eddy viscosity modelling has othe...
متن کاملEddy mixing in jet-stream turbulence under stronger stratification
[1] Certain qualitative changes in turbulent eddy mixing during transitional regimes towards stronger stratification are highlighted using high-resolution numerical simulations. The behavior of turbulent eddy mixing parameters found in this study is consistent with some recent observational results in stably stratified shear flows in the atmosphere. In particular, the flux Richardson number inc...
متن کاملA new gauge-invariant method for diagnosing eddy diffusivities
Coarse resolution numerical ocean models must typically include a parameterisation for mesoscale turbulence. A common recipe for such parameterisations is to invoke mixing of some tracer quantity, such as potential vorticity or buoyancy. However, it is well known that eddy fluxes include large rotational components which necessarily do not lead to any mixing; eddy diffusivities diagnosed from u...
