Turbulence anisotropy and the SO3 description.
We study strongly turbulent windtunnel flows with controlled anisotropy. Using a recent formalism based on angular momentum and the irreducible representations of the SO(3) rotation group, we attempt to extract this anisotropy from the angular dependence of second-order structure functions. Our instrumentation allows a measurement of both the separation and the angle dependence of the structure...
متن کاملThe Anisotropy of MHD Alfvénic Turbulence
We perform direct 3-dimensional numerical simulations for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in a periodic box of size 2π threaded by strong uniform magnetic fields. We use a pseudo-spectral code with hyperviscosity and hyperdiffusivity to solve the incompressible MHD equations. We analyze the structure of the eddies as a function of scale. A straightforward calculation of anisotropy in wavev...
متن کاملAnisotropy and scaling corrections in turbulence.
Two parametrizations for second order velocity moments, the Batchelor parametrization for the r-space structure function and a common parametrization for the energy spectrum, E(p) ∝ p exp(−p/pd), are examined and compared. In particular, we investigate corrections to the local scaling exponents induced by finite size effects. The behavior of local r– and p–space exponents differs dramatically. ...
متن کاملSegment Description of Turbulence
We propose a segment description for turbulent solutions to evolution equations in an effort to develop an effective description rather than the classical Reynolds average. The new description has connections with symbolic dynamics and shadowing technique. The challenge of future study is how to effectively implement the description numerically.
متن کاملMeasures of Anisotropy and the Universal Properties of Turbulence
Local isotropy, or the statistical isotropy of small scales, is one of the basic assumptions underlying Kolmogorov’s theory of universality of small-scale turbulent motion. The literature is replete with studies purporting to examine its validity and limitations. While, until the midseventies or so, local isotropy was accepted as a plausible approximation at high enough Reynolds numbers, variou...
