A Mthod for Generating the Turbulent Intermittency Function

Authors

Abstract:

A detection method based on sensitization of a squared double differentiated signal is developed which discriminates the turbulent zones from laminar zones quite accurately. The procedure adopts a variable threshold and a variable hold time of the order of the Kolmogorov time scale. The output file so generated, includes all the information for further analysis of the turbulent signal.

Intermittency exponent of the turbulent energy cascade.

We consider the turbulent energy dissipation from one-dimensional records in experiments using air and gaseous helium at cryogenic temperatures, and obtain the intermittency exponent via the two-point correlation function of the energy dissipation. The air data are obtained in a number of flows in a wind tunnel and the atmospheric boundary layer at a height of about 35 m above the ground. The h...

Turbulent intermittency and Euler similarity solutions

Self-similar Euler singularities may be useful for understanding some aspects of Navier-Stokes turbulence. Here, a causal explanation for intermittency is given, based on the control of the sudden growth of the gradients by the Euler equations. This explanation uses certain Euler solutions as intermediate asymptotics in Navier-Stokes turbulence [1] – controlling the dynamics over a limited spat...

Intermittency in Stochastically Perturbed Turbulent Models

Random dynamical models obtained as a perturbation of the GOY (GledzerOhkitani-Yamada) shell model for three-dimensional turbulence are defined. Both static (time-independent) and dynamical scaling properties of the randomly perturbed model are studied. The random static-inviscid manifold, in contrast to the dynamical evolution, does not show intermittent scaling laws. This behavior is linked t...

Intermittency as a consequence of turbulent transport in nonlinear systems.

Intermittent high-amplitude structures emerge in a damped and driven discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation whose solutions transport both energy and particles from sources to sinks. These coherent structures are necessary for any solution that has statistically stationary transport properties.

Intermittency in Turbulent Diffusion Models with a Mean Gradient

This paper provides a rigorous, self contained analysis of the intermittent behavior of turbulent diffusion models with a mean gradient. The intermittency can be described as large spikes randomly occurring in the time sequence of a passive tracer or exponential like fat tails in the probability density function. This type of passive tracer intermittency is subtle and occurs without any positiv...
