This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief addresses two issues of interest of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection. The first issue is the characterization and understanding of the statistics of the velocity and temperature fluctuations in the system. The second issue is the revelation and understanding of the nature of the scaling behavior of the velocity temperature structure functions. The problem under the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation is formulated. The statistical tools, including probability density functions (PDF) and conditional statistics, for studying fluctuations are introduced, and implicit PDF formulae for fluctuations obeying certain statistical symmetries are derived. Applications of these PDF formulae to study the fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection are then discussed. The phenomenology of the different types of scaling behavior: the Bolgiano-Obhukov scaling behavior when buoyancy effects are significant and the Kolmogorov-Obukhov-Corrsin scaling behavior when they are not, is introduced. A crossover between the two types of scaling behavior is expected to occur at the Bolgiano length scale above which buoyancy is important. The experimental observations are reviewed. In the central region of the convective cell, the Kolmogorov-Obukhov-Corrsin scaling behavior has been observed. On the other hand, the Bolgiano-Obukhov scaling remains elusive only until recently. By studying the dependence of the conditional temperature structure functions on the locally averaged thermal dissipation rate, evidence for the Bolgiano-Obukhov scaling has recently been found near the bottom plate. The different behaviors observed in the two regions could be attributed to the different size of the Bolgiano scale. What physics determines the relative size of the Bolgiano scale remains to be understood. The Brief is concluded by a discussion of these outstanding issues.

Book Synopsis Development of Experimental Techniques and Studies of Spatial Structure in Turbulent Thermal Convection by : Peter William Offutt

This book was released on 1995 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particle-image velocimetry (PIV), shadowgraph, and thermochroic liquid crystal techniques are applied to the study of spatial structure of turbulent thermal convection in wide horizontal water layers. A large-aspect-ratio test section for the study of turbulent Rayleigh convection in water has been constructed, instrumented and characterized. Boundary temperature measurements reveal significant finite Biot number effects for water bounded by aluminum. Particle-image velocimetry measurements in a vertical plane in Rayleigh convection gave approximately 8500 velocity vectors in each of 62 instantaneous realizations at a Rayleigh number of 1.0 $times$ 10$sp{8}$. The vector fields reveal structures ranging in size from a few millimeters in the boundary regions to large-scale motions spanning the 10 cm layer depth. Ensemble one-point statistics of the velocity field, including the mean velocity field, root-mean-square profiles, and probability-density functions of the vertical velocity as a function of height are presented. The PIV data have also provided the first measurements of the two-point spatial velocity correlation in turbulent Rayleigh convection. The PIV measurements are supplemented by thermochroic liquid crystal visualizations of temperature fields on the lower boundary, and by shadowgraph projections of the temperature fields in the bulk. The shadowgraphs reveal well-defined, viscous thermal plumes which generally cross the layer intact; midlayer transit measurements from videotaped shadowgraphs in Rayleigh convection and unsteady nonpenetrative convection give ascent rates of 1.4 to 1.5 times Deardorff's inviscid convective velocity scale. The thermochroic boundary temperature visualizations showed plumes emanating from nodes in a network of warm lines enclosing patches of cooler fluid. Deardorff's inviscid velocity and temperature scales for the core are refined by enforcing equality of bulk turbulent production and spectral energy transfer. The collapse of velocity fluctuation data under the new "bulk" scales for different modes of turbulent thermal convection shows the old systematic discrepancies arose from dimensionally correct but numerically arbitrary scale definitions. Also, under the new scaling, a monotonic Rayleigh number dependence emerges among the core temperature fluctuation profiles. This trend indicates that true high-Reynolds-number invariance is not achieved at Rayleigh numbers accessible to direct numerical simulation and laboratory-scale experiments.

Book Synopsis IUTAM Symposium on Reynolds Number Scaling in Turbulent Flow by : Alexander J. Smits
Download or read book IUTAM Symposium on Reynolds Number Scaling in Turbulent Flow written by Alexander J. Smits and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents selected papers from the IUTAM Symposium on Reynolds Number Scaling in Turbulent Flow, convened in Princeton, NJ, USA, September I1-13, 2002. The behavior ofturbulence at high Reynolds number is interesting from a fundamental point of view, in that most theories of turbulence make very specific predictions in the limit of infinite Reynolds number. From a more practical point of view, there exist many applications that involve turbulent flow where the Reynolds numbers are extremely large. For example, large vehicles such as submarines and commercial transports operate at Reynolds 9 numbers based on length ofthe order oft0 , and industrial pipe flows cover a 7 very wide range of Reynolds numbers up to 10 • Many very important applications of high Reynolds number flow pertain to atmospheric and other geophysical flows where extremely high Reynolds numbers are the rule rather than the exception, and the understanding of climate changes and the prediction of destructive weather effects hinges to some extent on our appreciation ofhigh-Reynolds number turbulence behavior. The important effects of Reynolds number on turbulence has received a great deal of recent attention. The objective of the Symposium was to bring together many of the world's experts in this area to appraise the new experimental results, discuss new scaling laws and turbulence models, and to enhance our mutual understanding of turbulence.
Book Synopsis Buoyant Convection in Geophysical Flows by : Erich J. Plate

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of convection in geophysical flows constitute an advanced and rapidly developing area of research that is relevant to problems of the natural environment. During the last decade, significant progress has been achieved in the field as a result of both experimental studies and numerical modelling. This led to the principal revision of the widely held view on buoyancy-driven turbulent flows comprising an organised mean component with superimposed chaotic turbulence. An intermediate type of motion, represented by coherent structures, has been found to play a key role in geophysical boundary layers and in larger scale atmospheric and hydrospheric circulations driven by buoyant forcing. New aspects of the interaction between convective motions and rotation have recently been discovered and investigated. Extensive experimental data have also been collected on the role of convection in cloud dynamics and microphysics. New theoretical concepts and approaches have been outlined regarding scaling and parameterization of physical processes in buoyancy-driven geophysical flows. The book summarizes interdisciplinary studies of buoyancy effects in different media (atmosphere and hydrosphere) over a wide range of scales (small scale phenomena in unstably stratified and convectively mixed layers to deep convection in the atmosphere and ocean), by different research methods (field measurements, laboratory simulations, numerical modelling), and within a variety of application areas (dispersion of pollutants, weather forecasting, hazardous phenomena associated with buoyant forcing).
