自相似湍流中的持续气旋结构

Persistent cyclonic structures in self-similar turbulent flows

P. D. Mininni, A. Pouquet

摘要:

物理系统的不变性支配着它的行为:湍流中的能量守恒驱动着能量在模式之间的广泛分布,正如在天体物理学,天体物理学和工程学中所观察到的那样。在流体动力学湍流中,螺旋度(测量镜像对称的偏离)的作用仍然不清楚,因为它不会改变这种分布。然而,旋转和螺旋度的相互作用导致了显着的差异。使用数值模拟,我们显示了长期的层流气旋涡与湍流涡的发生,让人想起最近的龙卷风观测。此外,小尺度是完全自相似的,没有偏离高斯性。这一结果表明,在旋转螺旋湍流的小参数的发现。

英文摘要:

Invariance properties of a physical system govern its behavior: energy conservation in turbulence drives a wide distribution of energy among modes, as observed in geophysics, astrophysics and engineering. In hydrodynamic turbulence, the role of helicity (which measures departures from mirror symmetry) remains unclear since it does not alter this distribution. However, the interplay of rotation and helicity leads to significant differences. Using numerical simulations we show the occurence of long-lived laminar cyclonic vortices together with turbulent vortices, reminiscent of recent tornado observations. Furthermore, the small scales are completely self-similar with no deviations from Gaussianity. This result points to the discovery of a small parameter in rotating helical turbulence.
