Scaling laws in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection under different geometry
A systematic study of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection is carried out in two horizontal cylindrical cells of different lengths filled with water. Global heat transport and local temperature and velocity measurements are made over varying Rayleigh numbers Ra. The scaling behavior of the measured Nusselt number Nu(Ra) and the Reynolds number Re(Ra) associated with the large-scale circulation ...
متن کاملScaling and universality in turbulent convection.
Anomalous correlation functions of the temperature field in two-dimensional turbulent convection are shown to be universal with respect to the choice of external sources. Moreover, they are equal to the anomalous correlations of the concentration field of a passive tracer advected by the convective flow itself. The statistics of velocity differences is found to be universal, self-similar, and c...
متن کاملDynamic Alignment and Exact Scaling Laws in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is pervasive in astrophysical systems. Recent highresolution numerical simulations suggest that the energy spectrum of strong incompressible MHD turbulence is E(k⊥) ∝ k ⊥ . So far, there has been no phenomenological theory that simultaneously explains this spectrum and satisfies the exact analytic relations for MHD turbulence due to Politano & Pouquet. Indee...
متن کاملScaling laws for rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
Numerical simulations of large aspect ratio, three-dimensional rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection for no-slip boundary conditions have been performed in both cylinders and periodic boxes. We have focused near the threshold for the supercritical bifurcation from the conducting state to a convecting state exhibiting domain chaos. A detailed analysis of these simulations has been carried out and ...
متن کاملVelocity and temperature cross-scaling in turbulent thermal convection
We analyse simultaneous velocity and temperature measurements in turbulent thermal convection. Our results show the existence of a cross-scaling between the normalized velocity and temperature structure functions, as implied by the Bolgiano–Obukhov scaling, at the centre of the convection cell. We find that the cross-scaling exponents are, however, different from the values implied by the Bolgi...
