剪切流中被动标量扩散的上界

An upper bound for passive scalar diffusion in shear flows

Chuong V. Tran

摘要:

本文研究具有有限均方速度梯度的一般$n$维剪切流$\u=u(y,z,...,t)\hat{x}$平流作用下被动标量$Θ(\r,t)$的扩散。不可压缩流的单向性使流向标量梯度$\partial_xΘ$保持不变,只允许横流分量被剪切效应放大。这种扩增相对较弱,因为重要的贡献因子$\partial_xΘ$是保守的,有效地呈现缓慢的扩散过程。研究发现,标量方差$<Θ^2>$的衰减满足$d<Θ^2>/dt\ge -Cκ^{1/3}$,其中$C>0$是一个常数,依赖于流体速度梯度和$Θ$的初始分布,$κ$是分子扩散系数.这一结果推广到具有有限均方角速度梯度的平面和球面上的轴对称流。

英文摘要:

This study is concerned with the diffusion of a passive scalar $Θ(\r,t)$ advected by general $n$-dimensional shear flows $\u=u(y,z,...,t)\hat{x}$ having finite mean-square velocity gradients. The unidirectionality of the incompressible flows conserves the stream-wise scalar gradient, $\partial_xΘ$, allowing only the cross-stream components to be amplified by shearing effects. This amplification is relatively weak because an important contributing factor, $\partial_xΘ$, is conserved, effectively rendering a slow diffusion process. It is found that the decay of the scalar variance $<Θ^2>$ satisfies $d<Θ^2>/dt\ge -Cκ^{1/3}$, where $C>0$ is a constant, depending on the fluid velocity gradients and initial distribution of $Θ$, and $κ$ is the molecular diffusivity. This result generalizes to axisymmetric flows on the plane and on the sphere having finite mean-square angular velocity gradients.
