Energy spectrum of buoyancy-driven turbulence.
Using high-resolution direct numerical simulation and arguments based on the kinetic energy flux Π(u), we demonstrate that, for stably stratified flows, the kinetic energy spectrum E(u)(k)∼k(-11/5), the potential energy spectrum E(θ)(k)∼k(-7/5), and Π(u)(k)∼k(-4/5) are consistent with the Bolgiano-Obukhov scaling. This scaling arises due to the conversion of kinetic energy to the potential ener...
متن کاملExperimental Studies and Cfd Calculations for Buoyancy Driven Mixing Phenomena
Buoyancy driven flow is found in many engineering application such as the mixing of fluids with different densities. In nuclear reactor safety the mixing of borated and deborated water is a critical issue that needs investigation, assessment and prediction. As nuclear reactor geometries are complex, in this study a simple vertical mixing test facility (VeMix) was used to validate numerical mode...
متن کاملEnergy Spectrum and Flux of Buoyancy-Driven Turbulence
Gravity or buoyancy plays an important role in atmospheric and geophysical flows. The flow is destabilized when heavier or colder fluid is on top of a lighter or hotter fluid, often seen in thermal convection (Fig 1(a)). Convection plays an important role in interiors of many planets and stars, and it is one of the mechanisms for the generation of a magnetic field. Conversely, the flow is stabi...
متن کاملGalactic dynamos driven by magnetic buoyancy
We consider a mean field dynamo model for the generation of galactic magnetic fields, in which the driving mechanism for the alpha-effect is the buoyancy-driven Parker instability, rather than the conventional cyclonic turbulence. The dominant quenching mechanism is a buoyant velocity, which lifts field away from the disc plane. Our modified alpha-effect is essentially nonlinear, as its magnitu...
متن کاملConvection driven by centrifugal buoyancy in nematics
The onset of thermal convection in a nematic contained in a vertical rotating cylindrical annulus heated from the outside is studied as a function of the planar alignment of the liquid crystal director n. When n is horizontal, the results confirm data on gravitational buoyancy. An original first order like convection mode is obtained when n is parallel to the cylinder axis. Thermal convection i...
