Single-point velocity distribution in turbulence
We show that the tails of the single-point velocity probability distribution function (PDF) are generally non-Gaussian in developed turbulence. By using instanton formalism for the Navier-Stokes equation, we establish the relation between the PDF tails of the velocity and those of the external forcing. In particular, we show that a Gaussian random force having correlation scale L and correlatio...
متن کاملNumerical Studies of Counterflow Turbulence Velocity Distribution of Vortices
We performed the numerical simulation of quantum turbulence produced by thermal counterflow in superfluid He by using the vortex filament model. The pioneering work was made by Schwarz, which has two defects. One is neglecting non-local terms of the Biot-Savart integral (localized induction approximation, LIA), and the other is the unphysical mixing procedure in order to sustain the statistical...
متن کاملVelocity difference statistics in turbulence.
We unify two approaches that have been taken to explain the non-Gaussian probability distribution functions (PDFs) obtained in measurements of longitudinal velocity differences in turbulence, and we apply our approach to Couette-Taylor turbulence data. The first approach we consider was developed by Castaing and co-workers, who obtained the non-Gaussian velocity difference PDF from a superposit...
متن کاملOn The Three Point Velocity Correlation Functions in 2d Forced Turbulence
We present a simple exact formula for the three point velocity correlation functions in two dimensional turbulence which is valid on all scales and which interpolates between the direct and inverse cascade regimes. As expected, these correlation functions are universal in these extreme regimes. We also discuss the effect of anisotropy and friction. Member of the CNRS; [email protected]...
متن کاملLarge negative velocity gradients in Burgers turbulence.
We consider one-dimensional Burgers equation driven by large-scale white-in-time random force. The tails of the velocity gradients probability distribution function (PDF) are analyzed by saddle point approximation in the path integral describing the velocity statistics. The structure of the saddle-point (instanton), that is, the velocity field configuration realizing the maximum of probability,...
