在turbulence中螺旋度和旋转之间的相互作用:标度律和小尺度动力学的意义

The interplay between helicity and rotation in turbulence: implications for scaling laws and small-scale dynamics

A. Pouquet, P. D. Mininni

摘要:

物理系统的不变性支配着它们的行为:湍流中的能量守恒驱动着能量在模式之间的广泛分布,在地球物理或天体物理流动中观察到。在理想流体力学中,螺旋度守恒(速度与旋度之间的相关性,测量镜像对称的偏离)的作用仍然不清楚,因为它不会改变能谱。然而,与固体旋转,显着差异之间出现螺旋和非螺旋流。我们首先概述了几个结果,如能量和螺旋度谱分布和打破严格的普遍性的个人光谱。使用大规模的数值模拟,然后,我们表明,小尺度结构和它们的不稳定性的不同,根据螺旋度是否存在或不,特别是相对于贝尔特拉米核心涡(BCV)的出现,是层流螺旋垂直上升气流。这些结果指出,除了Rossby数的小参数的发现,这可能涉及的旋转螺旋湍流的临界现象的问题,通过重整化群和弱湍流理论。这个参数可以与能量和螺旋度通量的无量纲化比相关联,小尺度的三维能量级联是弱的和自相似的。

英文摘要:

Invariance properties of physical systems govern their behavior: energy conservation in turbulence drives a wide distribution of energy among modes, observed in geophysical or astrophysical flows. In ideal hydrodynamics, the role of helicity conservation (correlation between velocity and its curl, measuring departures from mirror symmetry) remains unclear since it does not alter the energy spectrum. However, with solid body rotation, significant differences emerge between helical and non-helical flows. We first outline several results, like the energy and helicity spectral distribution and the breaking of strict universality for the individual spectra. Using massive numerical simulations, we then show that small-scale structures and their intermittency properties differ according to whether helicity is present or not, in particular with respect to the emergence of Beltrami-core vortices (BCV) that are laminar helical vertical updrafts. These results point to the discovery of a small parameter besides the Rossby number; this could relate the problem of rotating helical turbulence to that of critical phenomena, through renormalization group and weak turbulence theory. This parameter can be associated with the adimensionalized ratio of the energy to helicity flux to small scales, the three-dimensional energy cascade being weak and self-similar.
