Role of stable modes in driven shear-flow turbulence

A. E. Fraser, M. J. Pueschel, P. W. Terry, E. G. Zweibel

摘要:

一个线性不稳定的,正弦$E \times B$剪切流检查在陀螺框架中的线性和非线性制度。在线性制度,它示出的本征模谱是几乎相同的流体动力剪切流,共轭稳定模式发现在每个不稳定的波数。在非线性制度,湍流饱和的不稳定性进行检查,并没有包括一个驱动项,防止非线性平坦的平均流量,和一个尺度无关的辐射阻尼项,抑制共轭稳定模式的激发。一个简单的流体模型如何动量传输和部分平坦化的平均流规模的驱动项,从它示出,除了在高辐射阻尼,稳定模式发挥了重要作用,在湍流状态和产量显着改善定量预测时,与相应的模型忽略稳定模式相比。

英文摘要:

A linearly unstable, sinusoidal $E \times B$ shear flow is examined in the gyrokinetic framework in both the linear and nonlinear regimes. In the linear regime, it is shown that the eigenmode spectrum is nearly identical to hydrodynamic shear flows, with a conjugate stable mode found at every unstable wavenumber. In the nonlinear regime, turbulent saturation of the instability is examined with and without the inclusion of a driving term that prevents nonlinear flattening of the mean flow, and a scale-independent radiative damping term that suppresses the excitation of conjugate stable modes. A simple fluid model for how momentum transport and partial flattening of the mean flow scale with the driving term is constructed, from which it is shown that, except at high radiative damping, stable modes play an important role in the turbulent state and yield significantly improved quantitative predictions when compared with corresponding models neglecting stable modes.
