Effects of surface tension on immiscible Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence.
We present phenomenology describing the internal structure of a turbulent zone, produced as the result of the push of a heavy fluid into a light one, for the case of immiscible fluids. One finds that the Kolmogorov cascade is realized within a range that grows with time, viz., scales between the mixing zone width, L proportional variant t(2), and the viscous scale, eta proportional variant t(-1...
متن کاملPhenomenology of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence.
I analyze the advanced mixing regime of the Rayleigh-Taylor incompressible turbulence in the small Atwood number Boussinesq approximation. The prime focus of my phenomenological approach is to resolve the temporal behavior and the small-scale spatial correlations of velocity and temperature fields inside the mixing zone, which grows as proportional, variant t(2). I show that the "5/3"-Kolmogoro...
متن کاملRayleigh-Taylor turbulence in two dimensions.
The first consistent phenomenological theory for two- and three-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) turbulence has recently been presented by Chertkov [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 115001 (2003)]. By means of direct numerical simulations, we confirm the spatiotemporal prediction of the theory in two dimensions and explore the breakdown of the phenomenological description due to intermittency effects. We s...

and the gravitational acceleration g = −gẑ. While this a configuration can satisfy hydrostatic balance, infinitesimal perturbations on the interface separating the two fluids at z = H/2 will grow exponentially, leading to overturning. The energy available for overturning can be estimated by considering the fluid energetics. The average potential energy (per unit volume) of the system described ...
متن کاملPolymer heat transport enhancement in thermal convection: the case of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence.
We study the effects of polymer additives on turbulence generated by the ubiquitous Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Numerical simulations of complete viscoelastic models provide clear evidence that the heat transport is enhanced up to 50% with respect to the Newtonian case. This phenomenon is accompanied by a speed-up of the mixing layer growth. We give a phenomenological interpretation of these r...
