A differentiable trajectory approximation to turbulent diffusion
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of turbulent diffusion is posed as determining the time evolution of the probability density of the concentration given those for the fluid velocity components, sources, and the initial concentration. At each time, all variables are elements of the Hilbert space L ;(R ), and a finite-dimensional approximation based on expansions in orthonormal basis functions is developed. An expression for the joint probability density of all the Fourier coefficients is derived, the evaluation of which is shown to be particularly straightforward. Diffusion of material from a single source in an unbounded mildly turbulent fluid is considered as an application.

Radiation modeling of a turbulent diffusion flame in diesel engine
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of radiation heat transfer on temperature distribution and heat flux to the walls of a diesel engine. A diffusion flame is modeled in a simple cylindrical geometry and boundary conditions are defined. A specific solver which can model the turbulent diffusion flame by considering radiation in participating media is used to solve the problem....
متن کاملSimulation of particle diffusion and heat transfer in a two-phase turbulent boundary layer using the Eulerian-Eulerian approach
This work investigates the response of two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layer characteristics over a flat plate to the presence of suspended particulate matter. Both phases are assumed to be interacting continua. That is, the carrier fluid equations are considered to be coupled with the particle-phase equations. A finite-difference technique with non-uniform grid has been employed for the so...
متن کاملTurbulent Diffusion of Magnetic Fields in Weakly Ionized Gas
The diffusion of uni-directional magnetic fields by two dimensional turbulent flows in a weakly ionized gas is studied. The fields here are orthogonal to the plane of fluid motion. This simple model arises in the context of the decay of the mean magnetic flux to mass ratio in the interstellar medium. When ions are strongly coupled to neutrals, the transport of a large–scale magnetic field is dr...
متن کاملOptimal trajectory approximation by cubic splines on fed-batch control problems
Optimal control problems appear in several engineering fields and in particular on the control of fedbatch fermentation processes. These problems are often described by sets of nonlinear differential and algebraic equations, usually subject to constraints in the state and control variables. Tradicional approaches to the optimal feed trajectory computation consists in getting a linear spline tha...
متن کاملApproximation theorems for fuzzy set multifunctions in Vietoris topology. Physical implications of regularity
n this paper, we consider continuity properties(especially, regularity, also viewed as an approximation property) for $%mathcal{P}_{0}(X)$-valued set multifunctions ($X$ being a linear,topological space), in order to obtain Egoroff and Lusin type theorems forset multifunctions in the Vietoris hypertopology. Some mathematicalapplications are established and several physical implications of thema...
