The large-scale structure of homogeneous turbulence
where E ( K ) is the energy spectrum function, K is the wave-number magnitude, and C is a positive number which is not in general zero. The corresponding forms of the velocity covariance spectral tensor and correlation tensor are determined. It is found that the terms in the velocity covariance Rij(r) are O ( r 3 ) for large values of the separation magnitude r. An argument based on the conserv...
متن کاملLarge-scale Magnetic Structure Formation in 3d-mhd Turbulence
The inverse cascade of magnetic helicity in 3D-MHD turbulence is believed to be one of the processes responsible for large scale magnetic structure formation in astrophysical systems. In this work we present an exhaustive set of high resolution direct numerical simulations (DNS) of both forced and decaying 3D-MHD turbulence, to understand this structure formation process. It is first shown that...
متن کاملTurbulence: large-scale sweeping and the emergence of small-scale Kolmogorov spectra.
The dynamics of fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence still is a basically unsolved theoretical problem, due to the strong-coupling long-range nonlinearities in the Navier-Stokes equations. The present analysis focuses on the small-scale fluctuations in a turbulent boundary layer with one external length scale y(o). After taking a (2+1)D spatiotemporal spectral transform of the fluctuating vo...
متن کاملLarge-scale anisotropy in scalar turbulence.
The effect of anisotropy on the statistics of a passive tracer transported by a turbulent flow is investigated. We show that under broad conditions an arbitrarily small amount of anisotropy propagates to the large scales where it eventually dominates the structure of the concentration field. This result is obtained analytically in the framework of an exactly solvable model and confirmed by nume...
متن کاملLarge-scale influences in near-wall turbulence.
Hot-wire data acquired in a high Reynolds number facility are used to illustrate the need for adequate scale separation when considering the coherent structure in wall-bounded turbulence. It is found that a large-scale motion in the log region becomes increasingly comparable in energy to the near-wall cycle as the Reynolds number increases. Through decomposition of fluctuating velocity signals,...
