Title |
Turbulent mixing and beyond: problems, concepts, solutions |
Abstract |
Turbulent mixing plays an important role in a broad variety of natural and artificial systems, spanning astrophysical to atomistic scales and low to high energy densities. Examples include inertial confinement fusion, supernovae, stellar convection, non-canonical boundary layers and optical
free-space communications. Theoretical description of non-equilibrium mixing transports is a challenging problem due to singular aspects of the governing (Euler or Navier-Stokes) equations. Furthermore these processes are statistically unsteady and their fluctuating quantities are
essentially time-dependent and non-Gaussian. We apply the new theoretical concept, the rate of momentum loss, to describe the transports of mass, momentum and energy in turbulent mixing flow and to capture its anisotropic and inhomogeneous character. It is shown that invariant,
scaling and spectral properties of unsteady turbulent mixing differ substantially from those of isotropic and homogeneous turbulence. Time-and scale-invariance of the rate of momentum loss leads to non-dissipative momentum transfer, to 1/2 and 3/2 power-law scale-dependencies of the
velocity and Reynolds number and to non-Kolmogorov spectra. Turbulent mixing exhibits more order compared to isotropic turbulence, and its viscous and dissipation scales are finite and set by flow acceleration. We suggest how to describe the random character of the statistically unsteady
turbulent flow and show that the rate of momentum loss is the dynamic invariant and a robust diagnostic parameter for either sustained or time-dependent acceleration. Some criteria are outlined for the estimate of the fidelity and information capacity of the experimental and numerical
data sets. |
