We study how helicity affects the spectrum of a passive scalar in rotating turbulent flows, using numerical simulations of turbulent flows with or without rotation, and with or without injection of helicity. Scaling laws for energy and…
We present results of direct numerical simulations of passive scalar advection and diffusion in turbulent rotating flows. Scaling laws and the development of anisotropy are studied in spectral space, and in real space using an axisymmetric…
The statistics of the energy and helicity fluxes in isotropic turbulence are studied using high resolution direct numerical simulation. The scaling exponents of the energy flux agree with those of the transverse velocity structure functions…
Turbulent flows are known to produce enhanced effective magnetic and passive scalar diffusivities, which can fairly accurately be determined with numerical methods. It is now known that, if the flow is also helical, the effective magnetic…
We study the intermittency properties of the energy and helicity cascades in two 1536^3 direct numerical simulations of helical rotating turbulence. Symmetric and anti-symmetric velocity increments are examined, as well as probability…
We have investigated the advection of a passive scalar quantity by incompressible helical turbulent flow in the frame of extended Kraichnan model. Turbulent fluctuations of velocity field are assumed to have the Gaussian statistics with…
In this paper, we investigated the statistical differences between active and passive scalars in isotropic compressible turbulence. In the inertial range, the kinetic energy and scalar have the Kolmogorov spectra, and the Kolmogorov and…
We establish exact inequalities for the structure-function scaling exponents of a passively advected scalar in both the inertial-convective and viscous-convective ranges. These inequalities involve the scaling exponents of the velocity…
The influence of helicity on the stability of scaling regimes, on the effective diffusivity, and on the anomalous scaling of structure functions of a passive scalar advected by a Gaussian solenoidal velocity field with finite correlation…
The advection of a passive scalar by a quenched (frozen) incompressible velocity field is studied by extensive high precision numerical simulation and various approximation schemes. We show that second order self consistent perturbation…
We use direct numerical simulations to compute turbulent transport coefficients for passive scalars in turbulent rotating flows. Effective diffusion coefficients in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the rotations axis are…
Invariance properties of physical systems govern their behavior: energy conservation in turbulence drives a wide distribution of energy among modes, observed in geophysical or astrophysical flows. In ideal hydrodynamics, the role of…
We show that the statistics of a turbulent passive scalar at scales larger than the pumping may exhibit multiscaling due to a weaker mechanism than the presence of statistical conservation laws. We develop a general formalism to give…
Passive scalar mixing (metals, molecules, etc.) in the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) is critical for abundance patterns of stars and clusters, galaxy and star formation, and cooling from the circumgalactic medium. However, the…
The influence of compressibility and helicity on the stability of the scaling regimes of a passive scalar advected by a Gaussian velocity field with finite correlation time is investigated by the field theoretic renormalization group within…
In a helical flow there is a subrange of the inertial range in which there is a cascade of both energy and helicity. In this range the scaling exponents associated with the cascade of helicity can be defined. These scaling exponents are…
Anomalous scaling in the statistics of an active scalar in homogeneous turbulent convection is studied using a dynamical shell model. We extend refined similarity ideas for homogeneous and isotropic turbulence to homogeneous turbulent…
We revisit the well-known problem of multiscaling in substances passively advected by homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows or passive scalar turbulence. To that end we propose a two-parameter continuum hydrodynamic model for an…
We investigate the connection between the inertial range and the dissipation range statistics of rotating turbulence through detailed simulations of a helical shell model and a multifractal analysis. In particular, by using the latter, we…
We use large-scale three-dimensional simulations of supersonic Euler turbulence to study the physics of a highly compressible cascade. Our numerical experiments describe non-magnetized driven turbulent flows with an isothermal equation of…
