颗粒在turbulence中的旋转扩散

Rotational diffusion of particles in turbulence

Colin R. Meyer, Evan A. Variano

摘要:

通过实验室测量,我们比较了均匀,各向同性湍流中的球形和椭球形颗粒的旋转。我们发现粒子的角速度统计可以很好地用Ornstein-Uhlenbeck过程描述。该理论模型预言粒子角速度的拉格朗日自协方差将呈指数衰减。我们测量的自协方差使用立体粒子图像测速(SPIV)适用于粒子的大小是在环境湍流的惯性子范围内。SPIV解析了粒子内部点的运动,由此我们计算了粒子的固体旋转。这为我们提供了单个粒子的角速度时间序列。通过系综统计,我们确定了角速度的自协方差,并确认它匹配的形式预测的一个随机过程。我们可以进一步使用自协方差曲线来量化湍流旋转扩散率。

英文摘要:

Through laboratory measurements, we compare the rotation of spherical and ellipsoidal particles in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. We find that the particles' angular velocity statistics are well described by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process. This theoretical model predicts that the Lagrangian autocovariance of particles' angular velocity will decay exponentially. We measure the autocovariance using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) applied to particles whose size is within the inertial subrange of the ambient turbulence. The SPIV resolves the motion of points interior to the particles, from which we calculate the solid body rotation of the particles. This provides us with the angular velocity time series for individual particles. Through ensemble statistics, we determine the autocovariance of angular velocity and confirm that it matches the form predicted by an OU process. We can further use the autocovariance curve to quantify the turbulent rotational diffusivity.
