扫掠效应抑制合成Turbulence中的颗粒分散吗?

Do Sweeping Effects Suppress Particle Dispersion in Synthetic Turbulence?

Gregory L. Eyink, Damien Benveniste

摘要:

Thomson & Devenish(TD)(2005)批评了欧拉湍流的合成模型,如所谓的“运动学模拟”(KS),他们认为在这种模型中,广泛的去相关效应抑制了对色散。我们推导了平均速度为零的情况下,由高斯随机场模拟的欧拉湍流的解析结果。我们的出发点是一个精确的积分微分方程的粒子对分离分布。当粒子位置的记忆时间很短时,马尔可夫近似导致Richardson型扩散模型。我们得到了一个形式为$K_{ij}(r,t)=S_{ij}(r)τ(r,t)$的扩散系数张量,其中$S_{ij}(r)$是结构-功能张量,$τ(r,t)$是速度增量的有效关联时间。这被发现是三个时间的最小值:分离时的固有周转时间$τ_{eddy}(r)$ $r$,总演化时间$t,$和扫描时间$r/v_0$,其中$v_0$为均方根速度。我们用蒙特卡罗方法对扩散模型进行了数值研究。与温和的惯性范围,如在当前KS中实现的,我们的模型被发现重现$t^{9/2}$幂律对TD预测和KS中观察到的色散。然而,对于更长的范围内,我们的模型表现出三个不同的对色散规律的惯性范围内:一个Batchelor $t^2$制度,其次是$t^1$扩散制度,然后$t^6$制度。最后,在惯性范围之外,还有另一个$t^1$区域,粒子经历独立的泰勒扩散。这些缩放是完全相同的TD预测KS与大的平均速度,我们认为也为KS与零平均速度。我们的研究结果支持的基本结论,扫掠效应使拉格朗日性质的KS从根本上不同的流体动力学湍流非常扩展的惯性范围。

英文摘要:

Synthetic models of Eulerian turbulence like so called "Kinematic Simulations" (KS) have been criticized by Thomson & Devenish (TD) (2005), who argued that sweeping decorrelation effects suppress pair dispersion in such models. We derive analytical results for Eulerian turbulence modeled by Gaussian random fields for the case with zero mean velocity. Our starting point is an exact integrodifferential equation for the particle pair separation distribution. When memory times of particle locations are short, a Markovian approximation leads to a Richardson-type diffusion model. We obtain a diffusivity tensor of the form $K_{ij}(r,t)=S_{ij}(r)τ(r,t)$ where $S_{ij}(r)$ is the structure-function tensor and $τ(r,t)$ is an effective correlation time of velocity increments. This is found to be the minimum value of three times: the intrinsic turnover time $τ_{eddy}(r)$ at separation $r$, the overall evolution time $t,$ and the sweeping time $r/v_0$ with $v_0$ the rms velocity. We study the diffusion model numerically by a Monte Carlo method. With moderate inertial-ranges like those achieved in current KS, our model is found to reproduce the $t^{9/2}$ power-law for pair dispersion predicted by TD and observed in the KS. However, for much longer ranges, our model exhibits three distinct pair-dispersion laws in the inertial-range: a Batchelor $t^2$-regime, followed by a $t^1$ diffusive regime, and then a $t^6$ regime. Finally, outside the inertial-range, there is another $t^1$ regime with particles undergoing independent Taylor diffusion. These scalings are exactly the same as those predicted by TD for KS with large mean velocities, which we argue hold also for KS with zero mean velocity. Our results support the basic conclusion that sweeping effects make Lagrangian properties of KS fundamentally different from hydrodynamic turbulence for very extended inertial-ranges.
