Mixing by shear instability at high Reynolds number
[1] Shear instability is the dominant mechanism for converting fluid motion to mixing in the stratified ocean and atmosphere. The transition to turbulence has been well characterized in laboratory settings and numerical simulations at moderate Reynolds number—it involves “rolling up”, i.e., overturning of the density structure within the cores of the instabilities. In contrast, measurements in ...
متن کاملInteractions within the turbulent boundary layer at high Reynolds number
Simultaneous streamwise velocity measurements across the vertical direction obtained in the atmospheric surface layer (Reτ 5 × 10) under near thermally neutral conditions are used to outline and quantify interactions between the scales of turbulence, from the very-large-scale motions to the dissipative scales. Results from conditioned spectra, joint probability density functions and conditional...

Funding information European Commission Horizon 2020, Grant/Award Number: 671571; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Grant/Award Number: EP/L000261/1 Summary A new approach to turbulence simulation, based on a combination of large eddy simulation (LES) for the whole flow and an array of non–space-filling quasi-direct numerical simulations (QDNS), which sample the respon...
متن کاملReynolds number effects on mixing due to topological chaos.
Topological chaos has emerged as a powerful tool to investigate fluid mixing. While this theory can guarantee a lower bound on the stretching rate of certain material lines, it does not indicate what fraction of the fluid actually participates in this minimally mandated mixing. Indeed, the area in which effective mixing takes place depends on physical parameters such as the Reynolds number. To ...
متن کاملInstability of the Forced Magnetohydrodynamics System at Small Reynolds Number
The aim of this paper is to give a result concerning the instability properties of the solutions of forced magnetohydrodynamics equations at small but finite Reynolds numbers. These solutions are highly oscillating spatially on the scale of the underlying flow but are growing on a larger scale depending on the magnetic Reynolds number. The existence of such solutions is called α-effect in the p...
