Entropy production (EP) is a central quantity in nonequilibrium physics as it monitors energy dissipation, irreversibility, and free energy differences during thermodynamic transformations. Estimating EP, however, is challenging both…
Filtered budgets for anelastic turbulence and a general expression of the turbulent sensible heat flux are derived for a multicomponent fluid with an arbitrary equation of state. A family of subgrid-scale closures is then found under the…
