Critical theory of turbulence in incompressible fluids

نویسنده

چکیده

The Navier-Stokes equation describes the deterministic evolution of incompressible fluids. The effects of random initial conditions on solutions of this equation are studied. It is shown that there is an infrared stable fixed point accessible within the epsilon expansion, about dc = 4, with a particular choice of viscosity. The behaviour of the usual viscous fluid is obtained as a relevant perturbation about this fixed point, with the usual viscosity serving as T − Tc.

Resource Letter TF-1: Turbulence in Fluids

This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on fully developed turbulence in fluids. It is restricted to mechanically driven turbulence in an incompressible fluid described by the Navier-Stokes equations of hydrodynamics, and places greatest emphasis on fundamental physical questions. Journal articles and books are cited for the following topics: The Navier-Stokes equations, qualita...

Numerical Predictions of Turbulent Mixed Convection Heat Transfer to Supercritical Fluids Using Various Low Reynolds Number k-e Turbulence Models

There are a number of systems in which supercritical cryogenic fluids are used as coolants or propellant fluids. In some modern military aircraft, the fuel is pressurized above its critical point and used as a coolant to remove heat from the aircraft engine. Accurate prediction of heat transfer coefficients to turbulent flows of supercritical fluids is essential in design of such systems. One o...

Turbulence in Fluids

The seminar gives an introduction to turbulent motions of incompressible fluids. Due to the nature of the subject, most of the explanations are qualitative, although references to the actual fundamental equations underlying the processes are also made. Special emphasis is made on the dynamics of vorticity in turbulent flows and the main results of the celebrated Kolmogorov 1941 theory.

Turbulence in nearly incompressible fluids: density spectrum, flows, correlations and implication to the interstellar medium

Interstellar scintillation and angular radio wave broadening measurements show that interstellar and solar wind (electron) density fluctuations exhibit a Kolmogorovlike k−5/3 power spectrum extending over many decades in wavenumber space. The ubiquity of the Kolmogorov-like interstellar medium (ISM) density spectrum led to an explanation based on coupling incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD...
