Taylor Couette Flow

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) has been conducted to investigate turbulence transition process and fine scale structures in Taylor-Couette flow. Fourier-Chebyshev spectral methods have been used for spatial discretization and DNS are conducted up to Re = 12000. With the increase of Reynolds number, fine scale eddies are formed in a stepwise fashion. In relatively weak turbulent Taylor-Couette flow, fine scale eddies elongated in the azimuthal direction appear near the outflow and inflow boundaries between Taylor vortices. These fine scale eddies in the outflow and inflow boundaries are inclined at about −45/135 degree with respect to the azimuthal direction. With the increase of Reynolds number, the number of fine scale eddies increases and fine scale eddies appear in whole flow fields. The Taylor vortices in high Reynolds number organize lots of fine scale eddies. In high Reynolds number Taylor-Couette flow, fine scale eddies parallel to the axial direction are formed in sweep regions between large scale Taylor vortices. The most expected diameter and maximum azimuthal velocity of coherent fine scale eddies are 8 times of Kolmogorov scale and 1.7 times of Kolmogorov velocity respectively for high Reynolds Taylor-Couette flow. This scaling law coincides with that in other turbulent flow fields.

AbstractWe study unconfined homogeneous turbulence with a destabilizing background density gradient in the Boussinesq approximation. Starting from initial isotropic turbulence, the buoyancy force induces a transient phase toward a self-similar regime accompanied by a rapid growth of kinetic energy and Reynolds number, along with the development of anisotropic structures in the flow in the direction of gravity. We model this with a two-point statistical approach using an axisymmetric eddy-damped quasi-normal Markovian (EDQNM) closure that includes buoyancy production. The model is able to match direct numerical simulations (DNS) in a parametric study showing the effect of initial Froude number and mixing intensity on the development of the flow. We further improve the model by including the stratification timescale in the characteristic relaxation time for triple correlations in the closure. It permits the computation of the long-term evolution of unstably stratified turbulence at high Reynolds number. This agrees with recent theoretical predictions concerning the self-similar dynamics and brings new insight into the spectral energy distribution and anisotropy of the flow.
