各向同性Turbulence惯性范围相似理论的对称性分析

Analysis of a Symmetry leading to an Inertial Range Similarity Theory for Isotropic Turbulence

Mogens V Melander

摘要:

我们提出了一个理论攻击的经典问题的不稳定性和反常标度的湍流。我们的重点是在一个理想的情况下:高雷诺数各向同性湍流驱动的稳定的大尺度强迫。此外,流体是不可压缩的,并且不存在限制边界。我们从速度场的一组好的基函数开始。这些是真实的,没有分歧的。对于傅立叶空间中的每个波矢量k,存在一对分别具有左手和右手极性的基函数。各向同性使得常数|k|壳上的所有k在统计上相等。因此,该壳中的基函数的系数X+和X-变成两个随机变量,其联合pdf描述尺度L =2*pi/ |k|的统计。此外,(X+)**2+(X-)**2成为能量的随机变量。切换到极坐标,联合pdf以方位角模式展开。我们专注于轴对称模式,它本身是一个PDF和其特征在于它的径向轮廓P(r;L)。壳层模型和DNS数据的观测结果表明:(1)P(r;L)的矩在L中服从幂律;(2)剖面服从仿射对称性P(r;L)=C(L)*f((lnr-mu(L))/sigma(L))。我们提出一个问题:什么统计数据符合这两种观察?答案令人满意。我们用几个常数解析地求出函数f、μ、σ C。此外,我们还得到了幂律中的标度指数和系数的封闭形式表达式。虚拟原点也作为惯性范围的固有长度尺度L0出现。

英文摘要:

We present a theoretical attack on the classical problem of intermittency and anomalous scaling in turbulence. Our focus is on an ideal situation: high Reynolds number isotropic turbulence driven by steady large scale forcing. Moreover, the fluid is incompressible and no confining boundaries are present. We start from a good set of basis functions for the velocity field. These are real and divergence-free. To each wave-vector k in Fourier space there is one pair of basis functions with respectively left and right-handed polarity. Isotropy makes all k on the shell of constant |k| statistically equivalent. Consequently, the coefficients, X+ and X-, to the basis functions in that shell become two random variables whose joint pdf describes the statistics at scale L =2*pi/|k|. Moreover, (X+)**2+(X-)**2 becomes a random variable for the energy. Switching to polar coordinates, the joint pdf expands in azimuthal modes. We focus on the axisymmetric mode which is itself a pdf and characterized by it radial profile P(r;L). Observations from both shell model and DNS data indicate that (1) the moments of P(r;L) scale as power laws in L, and (2) the profile obeys an affine symmetry P(r;L)=C(L)*f((lnr-mu(L))/sigma(L)). We raise the question: What statistics agree with both observation? The answer is pleasing. We find the functions f, mu, sigma C analytically in terms of a few constants. Moreover, we obtain closed form expressions for both scaling exponents and coefficients in the power laws. A virtual origin also emerges as an intrinsic length scale L0 for the inertial range.
