On Variational Principles for Coherent Vortex Structures
Different approaches are discussed of variational principles characterizing coherent vortex structures in two-dimensional flows. Turbulent flows seem to form ordered structures in the large scales of the motion and the self-organization principle predicts asymptotic states realizing an extremal value of the energy or a minimum of enstruphy. On the other hand the small scales take care of the in...
متن کاملIdentifying coherent structures and vortex clusters in Taylor-Couette turbulence
The nature of the underlying structures in Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, the flow between two co-axial and independently rotating cylinders is investigated by two methods. First, the quadrant analysis technique for identifying structures with intense radial-azimuthal stresses (also referred to as ‘Q’s) of Lozano-Durán et al., (J. Fluid Mech. 694, 100-130) is used to identify the main structures res...
متن کاملModified Structure Function Model Based on Coherent Structures
In the present study, a modified Structure Function was introduced. In this modified Structure Function model, the coefficient of model was computed dynamically base on the coherent structure in the flow field. The ability of this Modified Structure Function was investigated for complex flow over a square cylinder in free stream and a low aspect ratio cylinder confined in a channel. The Results...
متن کاملMean field theory and coherent structures for vortex dynamics on the plane
We present a new derivation of the Onsager-Joyce-Montgomery (OJM) equilibrium statistical theory for point vortices on the plane, using the Bogoliubov-Feynman inequality for the free energy, Gibbs entropy function and Landau’s approximation. This formulation links the heuristic OJM theory to the modern variational mean field theories. Landau’s approximation is the physical counterpart of a larg...
متن کاملOn Variational Principles for Gravitating Perfect Fluids
The connection is established between two different action principles for perfect fluids in the context of general relativity. For one of these actions, S, the fluid four–velocity is expressed as a sum of products of scalar fields and their gradients (the velocity–potential representation). For the other action, S̄, the fluid four–velocity is proportional to the totally antisymmetric product of ...
