Lobe Dynamics

By experiments and supporting computations we investigate two methods of transport enhancement in two-dimensional open cellular flows with inertia. First, we introduce a spatial dependence in the velocity field by periodic modulation of the shape of the wall driving the flow; this perturbs the steady-state streamlines in the direction perpendicular to the main flow. Second, we introduce a time dependence through transient acceleration–deceleration of a flat wall driving the flow; surprisingly, even though the streamline portrait changes very little during the transient, there is still significant transport enhancement. The range of Reynolds and Reynolds–Strouhal numbers studied is 7.7[les ]Re[les ]46.5 and 0.52[les ]ReSr[les ]12.55 in the spatially dependent mode and 12[les ]Re[les ]93 and 0.26[les ]ReSr[les ]5.02 in the time-dependent mode. The transport is described theoretically via lobe dynamics. For both modifications, a curve with one maximum characterizes the various transport enhancement measures when plotted as a function of the forcing frequency. A qualitative analysis suggests that the exchange first increases linearly with the forcing frequency and then decreases as 1/Sr for large frequencies.

Abstract. Application of the Brown-Samelson theorem, which shows that particle motion is integrable in a class of vorticity-conserving, two-dimensional incompressible flows, is extended here to a class of explicit time dependent dynamically balanced flows in multilayered systems. Particle motion for nonsteady two-dimensional flows with discontinuities in the vorticity or potential vorticity fields (modon solutions) is shown to be integrable. An example of a two-layer modon solution constrained by observations of a Gulf Stream ring system is discussed.

The current paper presents an experimental study of the energy budget of a two-dimensional internal wave attractor in a trapezoidal domain filled with uniformly stratified fluid. The injected energy flux and the dissipation rate are simultaneously measured from a two-dimensional, two-component, experimental velocity field. The pressure perturbation field needed to quantify the injected energy is determined from the linear inviscid theory. The dissipation rate in the bulk of the domain is directly computed from the measurements, while the energy sink occurring in the boundary layers is estimated using the theoretical expression for the velocity field in the boundary layers, derived recently by Beckebanze et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 841, 2018, pp. 614–635). In the linear regime, we show that the energy budget is closed, in the steady state and also in the transient regime, by taking into account the bulk dissipation and, more importantly, the dissipation in the boundary layers, without any adjustable parameters. The dependence of the different sources on the thickness of the experimental set-up is also discussed. In the nonlinear regime, the analysis is extended by estimating the dissipation due to the secondary waves generated by triadic resonant instabilities, showing the importance of the energy transfer from large scales to small scales. The method tested here on internal wave attractors can be generalized straightforwardly to any quasi-two-dimensional stratified flow.

AbstractThe non-local, time-dependent convection theory of Kuhfuß (1986) in both its one- and three-equation form has been implemented in the Garching stellar evolution code. We present details of the implementation and the difficulties encountered. Specific test cases have been calculated, among them a 5 M⊙ star and the Sun. These cases point out deficits of the theory. In particular, the assumption of an isotropic velocity field leads to too extensive overshooting and has to be modified at convective boundaries. Some encouraging aspects are indicated as well.
