二维Rayleigh-Bénard流与旋转平面Couette流的精确关系

Exact relations between Rayleigh-Bénard and rotating plane Couette flow in 2D

摘要:

Rayleigh-Bénard对流(RBC)和Taylor-Couette流(TCF)是两个经常被放在一起讨论的典型流体动力学系统,尽管它们的几何形状和强迫不同,但它们有许多相似之处。通常这些类比需要近似,但在TCF成为旋转平面库埃特流(RPC)的大半径的限制下,可以建立精确的关系。当流动被限制为两个空间自由度时,RPC中的三个速度分量映射到RBC中的两个速度分量和一个温度场是一个精确的规范。(1)对流中的Rayleigh数$Ra$与RPC流中的Reynolds数$Re$和旋转数$R_Ω$之间存在$Ra= Re^2 R_Ω(1-R_Ω)$关系。(ii)热量和角动量输运相差$(1-R_Ω)$,这解释了为什么角动量输运围绕$R_Ω=1/2$不对称,尽管$Ra$和$R_Ω$之间的关系具有这种对称性。这种关系导致预测值的$R_Ω$,最大化的角动量传输,同意非常好与现有的数值模拟的完整的3D系统。(iii)两个流中的一个变量满足最大值原理,即,场的极值发生在墙壁处。因此,剪切流\emph{cannot}中的回流事件发生在该二维设置中。(iv)对于轴向和径向速度分量上的自由滑移边界条件,先前对RBC的严格分析意味着RPC中的方位角动量输运由$Re^{5/6}$从上方界定,其标度指数小于预期的$Re^1$。

英文摘要:

Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) and Taylor-Couette Flow (TCF) are two paradigmatic fluid dynamical systems frequently discussed together because of their many similarities despite their different geometries and forcing. Often these analogies require approximations, but in the limit of large radii where TCF becomes rotating plane Couette flow (RPC) exact relations can be established. When the flows are restricted to two spatial degrees of freedom there is an exact specification that maps the three velocity components in RPC to the two velocity components and one temperature field in RBC. Using this, we deduce several relations between both flows: (i) The Rayleigh number $Ra$ in convection and the Reynolds $Re$ and rotation $R_Ω$ number in RPC flow are related by $Ra= Re^2 R_Ω(1-R_Ω)$. (ii) Heat and angular momentum transport differ by $(1-R_Ω)$, explaining why angular momentum transport is not symmetric around $R_Ω=1/2$ even though the relation between $Ra$ and $R_Ω$ has this symmetry. This relationship leads to a predicted value of $R_Ω$ that maximizes the angular momentum transport that agrees remarkably well with existing numerical simulations of the full 3D system. (iii) One variable in both flows satisfy a maximum principle i.e., the fields' extrema occur at the walls. Accordingly, backflow events in shear flow \emph{cannot} occur in this two-dimensional setting. (iv) For free slip boundary conditions on the axial and radial velocity components, previous rigorous analysis for RBC implies that the azimuthal momentum transport in RPC is bounded from above by $Re^{5/6}$ with a scaling exponent smaller than the anticipated $Re^1$.
