天体物理湍流对流问题:无边界层中的热对流

Problems of Astrophysical Turbulent Convection: Thermal convection in a layer without boundaries

R. D. Simitev, F. H. Busse

摘要:

从下面加热的流体层中的热对流通常在实验上实现,并且在理论上用固定边界处理,在固定边界上规定温度和速度场的条件。附在上下边界上的热和速度边界层在很大程度上决定了高瑞利数时湍流对流的性质。固定边界在热对流的自然实现中常常是不存在的。本文研究了在稳定分层流体层中,在等尺寸冷源下方的平面热源驱动下的对流特性。非均匀边界不影响对流流动,因为它们与活跃对流层被几乎静止的稳定分层区域隔开。对流发生在内部不稳定分层区域的平均温度梯度是反向的。但是,在较高的对流振幅下,反向的水平平均温度梯度的区域消失,使得平均温度的垂直导数不再改变其符号。

英文摘要:

Thermal convection in fluid layers heated from below are usually realized experimentally as well as treated theoretically with fixed boundaries on which conditions for the temperature and the velocity field are prescribed. The thermal and velocity boundary layers attached to the upper and lower boundaries determine to a large extent the properties of turbulent convection at high Rayleigh numbers. Fixed boundaries are often absent in natural realizations of thermal convection. This paper studies the properties of convection driven by a planar heat source below a cooling source of equal size immersed in an otherwise stably stratified fluid layer are studied in this paper. Unavoidable boundaries do not influence the convection flow since they are separated from the active convection layer by nearly motionless stably stratified regions. The onset of convection occurs in an inner unstably stratified region where the mean temperature gradient is reversed. But the region of a reversed horizontally averaged temperature gradient disappears at higher amplitudes of convection such that the vertical derivative of the mean temperature no longer changes its sign.
