We elucidate the universal scaling and multiscaling properties of the nonequilibrium steady states (NESS) in a driven symmetric binary fluid (SBF) mixture in its homogeneous miscible phase in three dimensions (3d). We show, for the first time, via Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) that structure functions of the velocity and the concentration gradient exhibit multiscaling in 3d and extended self-similarity (ESS). We also find that, in contrast to the well-known passive scalar turbulence problem, structure functions of the concentration show simple scaling. We propose a new shell model for SBF turbulence which preserve all the invariances in the ideal limit of the SBF equations and which reduces to a well-known shell model for fluid turbulence in the zero concentration field limit. We show that the shell model has the same scaling properties as the 3d SBF equations. Our combined results from our DNS of the SBF equations and shell-model studies consistently bring out the multiscaling of the velocity and concentration gradient fields and simple scaling of the concentration field.
We carry out a detailed study of dynamic multiscaling in the turbulent nonequilibrium, but statistically steady, state of the stochastically forced one-dimensional Burgers equation. We introduce the concept of $\textit{interval collapse times}$ $τ_{\rm col}$, the time taken for an interval of length $\ell$, demarcated by a pair of Lagrangian tracers, to collapse at a shock. By calculating the dynamic scaling exponent of the order-$p$ moment of $τ_{\rm col}$, we show that (a) there is $\textit{not one but an infinity of characteristic time scales}$ and (b) the probability distribution function …

The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang model of non-equilibrium critical behaviour (kinetic surface roughening) with turbulent motion of the environment taken into account is studied by the field theoretic renormalization group approach. The turbulent motion is described by the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation with the random stirring force whose correlation function includes two terms that allow one to account both for a turbulent fluid and for a fluid in thermal equilibrium. The renormalization group analysis performed in the leading order of perturbation theory (one-loop approximation) reveals six possib…
All previous experiments in open turbulent flows (e.g. downstream of grids, jet and atmospheric boundary layer) have produced quantitatively consistent values for the scaling exponents of velocity structure functions. The only measurement in closed turbulent flow (von Kármán swirling flow) using Taylor-hypothesis, however, produced scaling exponents that are significantly smaller, suggesting that the universality of these exponents are broken with respect to change of large scale geometry of the flow. Here, we report measurements of longitudinal structure functions of velocity in a von Kármán …
我们扩展了She et al. [Phys.\修订版本\ Lett. 70,3251(1993)]的高度湍流与$15 \le$泰勒-雷诺数$Re_λ\le 200$高达$Re_λ\approx 45000$,采用约化波矢量集方法(前面介绍)近似求解纳维-斯托克斯方程。首先,同样对于这些极高雷诺数$Re_λ$,能量谱以及较高的时刻-当通过峰值耗散的波数$k_p$处的谱强度缩放时-可以通过所有$Re_λ$的$k/k_p$的{ \it一个通用}函数来描述。其次,这个普适函数的ISR标度指数$ζ_m$与1941年的Kolmogorov理论一致(越大,$Re_λ$越好),$k_p$的$Re_λ$依赖性也是如此。只有在$k_p$附近的粘性阻尼导致光谱中的轻微能量堆积,如实验数据中所示(瓶颈现象)。
The transition to turbulence exhibits remarkable spatio-temporal behavior that continues to defy detailed understanding. Near the onset to turbulence in pipes, transient turbulent regions decay either directly or, at higher Reynolds numbers through splitting, with characteristic time-scales that exhibit a super-exponential dependence on Reynolds number. Here we report numerical simulations of transitional pipe flow, showing that a zonal flow emerges at large scales, activated by anisotropic turbulent fluctuations; in turn, the zonal flow suppresses the small-scale turbulence leading to stochas…
