Probability density function modeling of scalar mixing from concentrated sources in turbulent channel flow
Dispersion of a passive scalar from concentrated sources in fully developed turbulent channel flow is studied with the probability density function PDF method. The joint PDF of velocity, turbulent frequency and scalar concentration is represented by a large number of Lagrangian particles. A stochastic near-wall PDF model combines the generalized Langevin model of Haworth and Pope Phys. Fluids 2...
متن کاملTurbulent mixing of a passive scalar
The statistically stationary state of a turbulently advected passive scalar is studied, with an imposed linear mean gradient in two dimensions, via a number of numerical experiments. For a synthetic Gaussian velocity field, which is generated by a linear stochastic process, and whose spectra and Eulerian correlation time follow Kolmogorov scaling on all scales, the exponents of the scalar spect...
متن کاملProbability density functions in the cloud-top mixing layer
The cloud-top mixing layer is an idealized configuration often employed in the literature to study local aspects (over length scales of the order of 10m) of the top of stratocumulus-topped mixed layers. Latent heat effects are further investigated here by means of direct numerical simulations, discussing the probability density functions of the horizontal and vertical velocities, as well as the...
متن کاملThe mixing evolution and geometric properties of a passive scalar field in turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection
We report on measurements of a two-dimensional (2D) dye concentration field in turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection using the planar laser-induced fluorescence technique. The measurements were made in a vertical plane near the sidewall of a rectangular convection cell filled with water and with the Rayleigh number Ra varying from 109 to 1010, all at a fixed Prandtl number Pr = 5.3 and Schm...
متن کاملan experimental study of turbulent mixing near a density interface
the entrainment of a stably stratified layer into a turbulent mixed layer in a confined region has been studied in the laboratory for different richardson numbers, ri. the results include direct observation of turbulent characteristics and density measurements using two high precision salinity meters. the measurements include turbulence intensity, scale of eddies near the interface and energy s...
