Turbulence from localized random expansion waves
In an attempt to determine the outer scale of turbulence driven by localized sources, such as supernova explosions in the interstellar medium, we consider a forcing function given by the gradient of gaussian profiles localized at random positions. Different coherence times of the forcing function are considered. In order to isolate the effects specific to the nature of the forcing function we c...

متن کاملFrom Topographic Internal Gravity Waves to Turbulence
Internal gravity waves are a key process linking the large-scale mechanical forcing of the oceans to small-scale turbulence and mixing. In this review, we focus on internal waves generated by barotropic tidal flow over topography. We review progress made in the past decade toward understanding the different processes that can lead to turbulence during the generation, propagation, and reflection...
متن کاملMatter Waves from Localized Quantum Sources
Matter waves originating from a localized region in space appear commonly in physics. Examples are photo-electrons, ballistic electrons in nanotechnology devices (scanning-tunneling microscopy, quantum Hall effect), or atoms released from a coherent source (atom laser). We introduce the energy-dependent Green function as a suitable tool to calculate the arising currents. For some systems experi...
متن کاملTurbulence of capillary waves.
A numerical model for direct simulation of the surface of ideal fluid based on the expansion of the Hamiltonian of the surface up to terms of fourth order is developed. For the case of capillary wave we observe the formation of powerlike spectrum of spatial elevations close to one predicted by weakturbulent theory Ik . k219y4, which previously was not confirmed either experimentally or numerica...
