AI总结:

本研究通过直接数值模拟(DNS)分析了三维均匀各向同性湍流中速度场的时空关联函数,发现小时间延迟下的高斯衰减与重整化群(FRG)预测一致,并揭示了速度模量关联在大时间延迟下从高斯到指数衰减的交叉现象。

摘要:

我们使用三维不可压缩流体的受迫 Navier-Stokes 方程的直接数值模拟(DNS)来测试近期的理论预测。我们研究了稳态、各向同性和均匀湍流中速度场的二点和三点时空关联函数。我们将数值结果与在大波数极限下获得的重整化群(FRG)预测进行了比较。DNS 在不同的 Reynolds 数下进行,并且在不同时间区间内分析了关联,重点关注大波数。在小时间延迟下,我们发现两点关联函数在变量 $kt$ 中呈高斯衰减,其中 $k$ 是波数,$t$ 是时间延迟。由随时间变化的平流速度关联确定的的三点关联函数在小 $t$ 时也呈高斯衰减,且其前缀因子与两点函数相同。这些行为与 FRG 结果精确一致,并且可以简单地理解为平流的后果。在大时间延迟下,FRG 预测在 $k^2 t$ 中会向指数衰减发生交叉,我们在模拟中无法分辨这一点。然而,我们分析了速度模量的两点时空关联,并表明它们表现出从高斯衰减到指数衰减的这种交叉,尽管在这种情况下我们缺乏理论理解。这一引人注目的现象需要进一步的理论研究。

英文摘要:

We use Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of the forced Navier-Stokes equation for a 3-dimensional incompressible fluid in order to test recent theoretical predictions. We study the two- and three-point spatio-temporal correlation functions of the velocity field in stationary, isotropic and homogeneous turbulence. We compare our numerical results to the predictions from the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) which were obtained in the large wavenumber limit. DNS are performed at various Reynolds numbers and the correlations are analyzed in different time regimes focusing on the large wavenumbers. At small time delays, we find that the two-point correlation function decays as a Gaussian in the variable $kt$ where $k$ is the wavenumber and $t$ the time delay. The three-point correlation function, determined from the time-dependent advection-velocity correlations, also follows a Gaussian decay at small $t$ with the same prefactor as the one of the two-point function. These behaviors are in precise agreement with the FRG results, and can be simply understood as a consequence of sweeping. At large time delays, the FRG predicts a crossover to an exponential in $k^2 t$, which we were not able to resolve in our simulations. However, we analyze the two-point spatio-temporal correlations of the modulus of the velocity, and show that they exhibit this crossover from a Gaussian to an exponential decay, although we lack of a theoretical understanding in this case. This intriguing phenomenon calls for further theoretical investigation.
