So does water, in some cases: Around a small
model of a rock - and - concrete dike, for instance, water may display a so - called laminar
flow pattern, whereas in the real world it displays more chaotic
turbulent flows.
The Southampton research team, led by Richard Sandberg, Professor of Fluid Dynamics and Aeroacoustics, and including Dr Andrew Wheeler and Professor Neil Sandham, has identified that Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), a
model - free approach based on first principles (no assumptions or
modelling are used) can help to develop an improved understanding of the role of
turbulent phenomena in the
flow - field and determine the validity of current turbulence
modelling.
They have developed a simple mathematical
model that has helped them show how
turbulent flows will evolve over intervals.
From blood
flow to weather patterns, the equations prove invaluable in
modeling turbulent environments; even so, physically meaningful solutions are nearly impossible to come by.
They then applied
models of holographic duality to translate the black hole's physics to the
turbulent flows of superfluids.
The team directly measured terms in turbulence
model equations, providing insights into the global nature of the mixing (e.g., faster mixing near the edges of the
turbulent fluid layer when compared with the core) and identifying the dominant mechanisms governing the
flow evolution.
O'Gorman, P. A., and T. Schneider, 2006: Stochastic
models for the kinematics of moisture flux and condensation in homogeneous
turbulent flows.
As far as I know there is no satisfactory CFD
model to simulate the regime where laminar
flow changes to
turbulent flow.
b) provide a scaling argument comparing the «
turbulent viscosity» used in the
model to the magnitude one might expect in a real
flow.
That is how much energy is exchanged by
turbulent flows which are two small for the
model to capture?
