湍流对流中的罕见波动和大尺度环流停止

Rare fluctuations and large-scale circulation cessations in turbulent convection

Michael Assaf, Luiza Angheluta, Nigel Goldenfeld

摘要:

在湍流Rayleigh-Benard对流中,大尺度环流(LSC)在几乎垂直的平面内发展,并由从不稳定的热边界层分离的上升和下降的羽流维持。LSC振幅的罕见但大的波动可能导致LSC的灭绝(停止事件),然后是另一个具有不同(随机)方位角取向的LSC的重新出现。我们扩展以前的模型的LSC动力学包括动量和热扩散的方位角平面,并计算的振幅和方位角的概率分布的尾巴。我们的分析结果与实验数据非常吻合。

英文摘要:

In turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection, a large-scale circulation (LSC) develops in a nearly vertical plane, and is maintained by rising and falling plumes detaching from the unstable thermal boundary layers. Rare but large fluctuations in the LSC amplitude can lead to extinction of the LSC (a cessation event), followed by the re-emergence of another LSC with a different (random) azimuthal orientation. We extend previous models of the LSC dynamics to include momentum and thermal diffusion in the azimuthal plane, and calculate the tails of the probability distributions of both the amplitude and azimuthal angle. Our analytical results are in very good agreement with experimental data.
