The fine structure of a slender scalar plume in sheared turbulence

The fine structure of a slender scalar plume in sheared turbulence
The fine structure of a slender scalar plume in sheared turbulence
We present measurements of the fine structure of a passive scalar plume in uniformly sheared turbulence generated in a water tunnel. We report on the mixed velocity-scalar statistics of the plume, including the probability density functions of the velocity, scalar, and scalar derivatives, as well as conditional expectations of the velocity and the scalar derivatives, conditioned upon the scalar fluctuations. Such results are particularly relevant to models that are intended to be used for solving the balance equation of the scalar pdf. Specifically, we address the effect of having a highly intermittent scalar field, in which case the scalar pdf is highly skewed and non-Gaussian and the conditional expectations of the velocity components are distinctly non-linear.

Abstract

We present measurements of the fine structure of a passive scalar plume in uniformly sheared turbulence generated in a water tunnel. We report on the mixed velocity-scalar statistics of the plume, including the probability density functions of the velocity, scalar, and scalar derivatives, as well as conditional expectations of the velocity and the scalar derivatives, conditioned upon the scalar fluctuations. Such results are particularly relevant to models that are intended to be used for solving the balance equation of the scalar pdf. Specifically, we address the effect of having a highly intermittent scalar field, in which case the scalar pdf is highly skewed and non-Gaussian and the conditional expectations of the velocity components are distinctly non-linear.
