2DV Nonlinear k-ε Turbulence Modeling of Stratified Flows
The commonly used linear k-ε turbulence model is shown to be incapable of accurate prediction of turbulent flows, where non-isotropy is dominant. Two examples of non-isotropic flows, which have a wide range of applications in marine waters, are saline water flow and the stratified flows due to temperature gradients. These relate to stratification and consequently, variation of density through...
متن کاملDiapycnal diffusivities in homogeneous stratified turbulence
[1] Quantifying diapycnal mixing in stably stratified turbulence is fundamental to the understanding and modeling of geophysical flows. Data of diapycnal mixing from direct numerical simulations of homogeneous stratified turbulence and from grid turbulence experiments, are analyzed to investigate the scaling of the diapycnal diffusivity. In these homogeneous flows the instantaneous diapycnal di...
متن کاملOn the turbulent Prandtl number in homogeneous stably stratified turbulence
In this paper, we derive a general relationship for the turbulent Prandtl number Pr t for homogeneous stably stratified turbulence from the turbulent kinetic energy and scalar variance equations. A formulation for the turbulent Prandtl number, Pr t , is developed in terms of a mixing length scale LM and an overturning length scale LE , the ratio of the mechanical (turbulent kinetic energy) deca...
متن کاملNumerical experiments on strongly stratified homogeneous shear turbulence
Turbulence in strongly stable density stratification is a common phenomenon in atmosphere and in oceans and other large water bodies. Stably and strongly stratified turbulence have been studied in many experimental and numerical studies. A characteristic feature of strongly stratified turbulence observed in several studies is the formation of quasi-horizontal layers. During the last decade, the...
متن کاملTurbulence Modeling in Stratified Flows over Topography
A non-hydrostatic code that numerically solves the unsteady, three-dimensional, primitive equations is used. Advanced models such as the dynamic mixed model and the dynamic eddy viscosity model are utilized to represent subgrid processes in the LES approach. A novel near-wall model has been developed so as to increase the Reynolds number of boundary flows to realistically large geophysical valu...
