Variable energy flux in turbulence

MK Verma - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
In three-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence forced at large length scales, a constant
energy flux Π u flows from large scales to intermediate scales, and then to small scales. It is …

Turbulent density and pressure fluctuations in the stratified intracluster medium

R Mohapatra, C Federrath… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Turbulent gas motions are observed in the intracluster medium (ICM). The ICM is density-
stratified, with the gas density being highest at the centre of the cluster and decreasing …

Turbulence in stratified atmospheres: implications for the intracluster medium

R Mohapatra, C Federrath… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The gas motions in the intracluster medium (ICM) are governed by turbulence. However,
since the ICM has a radial profile with the centre being denser than the outskirts, ICM …

Bolgiano-Obukhov spectrum and mixing efficiency in stably stratified turbulence

S Alam, MK Verma, P Joshi - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
In this paper, using a shell model, we simulate highly turbulent stably stratified flow for weak

Turbulent heating in a stratified medium

C Wang, SP Oh, M Ruszkowski - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
There is considerable evidence for widespread subsonic turbulence in galaxy clusters, most
notably from Hitomi. Turbulence is often invoked to offset radiative losses in cluster cores …

A randomly stirred model for Bolgiano–Obukhov scaling in turbulence in a stably stratified fluid

JK Bhattacharjee - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A randomly stirred model, akin to the one used by DeDominicis and Martin for
homogeneous isotropic turbulence, is introduced to study Bolgiano–Obukhov scaling in fully …

Bolgiano-Obukhov scaling in two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection at extreme Rayleigh numbers

R Samuel, MK Verma - Physical Review Fluids, 2024 - APS
Understanding the behavior of the kinetic energy spectrum and flux in two-dimensional (2D)
turbulent thermal convection remains a challenge. In this paper, using high-resolution direct …

Analysis of scale-dependent kinetic and potential energy in sheared, stably stratified turbulence

X Zhang, R Dhariwal, G Portwood… - Journal of Fluid …, 2022 - cambridge.org
Budgets of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and turbulent potential energy (TPE) at different
scales $\ell $ in sheared, stably stratified turbulence are analysed using a filtering approach …

Existence of Bolgiano–Obukhov scaling in the bottom ocean?

PQ Huang, SX Guo, SQ Zhou, XR Cen, L Qu… - Journal of Fluid …, 2024 - cambridge.org
The seminal Bolgiano–Obukhov (BO) theory established the fundamental framework for
turbulent mixing and energy transfer in stably stratified fluids. However, the presence of BO …

Wind-tunnel measurements of sensible turbulent heat fluxes over melting ice

S Harrison, L Mydlarski - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
Accelerated glacier melt and the loss of perennial snowfields have been associated with
increased warming in polar regions, at rates up to four times faster than the rest of the world …
