湍流被动标量混合中均方平流的减少

Reduction of mean-square advection in turbulent passive scalar mixing

Wouter J. T. Bos, Robert Rubinstein, Le Fang

摘要:

直接数值模拟结果表明,在无规速度场作用下,被动标量平流中耦合项的方差小于速度场和标量场统计独立时的方差。这种效应类似于流体动力学湍流中的“非线性抑制”。我们表明,在数值数据中观察到的趋势是定性一致的封闭理论相关的Kraichnan的直接相互作用近似的预测。这一现象在普朗特数的范围内得到了证实。在惯性对流范围内,损耗相对于波数近似恒定。在Batchelor范围内效果较弱。

英文摘要:

Direct numerical simulation data show that the variance of the coupling term in passive scalar advection by a random velocity field is smaller than it would be if the velocity and scalar fields were statistically independent. This effect is analogous to the "depression of nonlinearity" in hydrodynamic turbulence. We show that the trends observed in the numerical data are qualitatively consistent with the predictions of closure theories related to Kraichnan's direct interaction approximation. The phenomenon is demonstrated over a range of Prandtl numbers. In the inertial-convective range the depletion is approximately constant with respect to wavenumber. The effect is weaker in the Batchelor range.
