Recently, Shete et al. [Phys. Rev. Fluids 7, 024601 (2022)] explored the characteristics of passive scalars in the presence of a uniform mean gradient, mixed by stationary isotropic turbulence. They concluded that at high Reynolds and…
We investigated the effects of Schmidt number on passive scalar transport in forced compressible turbulence. In the inertial-convective range the scalar spectrum followed the k^{-5/3} power law. For Sc >> 1, there appeared a k^{-1} power…
We solve the advection-diffusion equation for a stochastically stationary passive scalar $\theta$, in conjunction with forced 3D Navier-Stokes equations, using direct numerical simulations in periodic domains of various sizes, the largest…
Passive scalars advected by three-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence exhibit a fundamental anomaly in odd-order moments because of the characteristic ramp-cliff structures, violating small-scale isotropy. We use data from direct numerical…
Dissipative particle dynamics is a widely used mesoscale technique for the simulation of hydrodynamics (as well as immersed particles) utilizing coarse-grained molecular dynamics. While the method is capable of describing any fluid, the…
We present direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the mixing of the passive scalar at modest Reynolds numbers (10 =< R_\lambda =< 42) and Schmidt numbers larger than unity (2 =< Sc =< 32). The simulations resolve below the Batchelor scale up…
A statistically stationary and nearly homogeneous turbulent shear flow is established by an additional volume forcing in combination with stress-free boundary conditions in the shear direction. Both turbulent energy and enstrophy are…
The intermittency of a passive scalar advected by three-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence at a Taylor-scale Reynolds number of $650$ is studied using direct numerical simulations on a $4096^3$ grid; the Schmidt number is unity. By…
Upper bounds of the Hausdorff volume of scalar gradient field graphs are derived by means of geometric measure theory. The approach reproduces that scalar gradient fields along a mean imposed scalar gradient become space filling for…
We present turbulent Schmidt number Sc_t estimations above three-dimensional urban canopies, where Sc_t is a property of the flow defined as the ratio of the eddy diffusivity of momentum (K_M) to the eddy diffusivity of mass (D_t). Despite…
We consider statistics of the passive scalar on distances much larger than the pumping scale. Such statistics is determined by statistics of Lagrangian contraction that is by probabilities of initially distant fluid particles to come close.…
We prove upper bounds on outside probabilities for generic non-autonomous Schr\"odinger operators on lattices of arbitrary dimension. Our approach is based on a combination of commutator method originated in scattering theory and novel…
We propose a generalized perspective on the behavior of high-order derivative moments in turbulent shear flows by taking account of the roles of small-scale intermittency and mean shear, in addition to the Reynolds number. Two asymptotic…
Conventional lattice Boltzmann models only satisfy moment isotropy up to fourth order. In order to accurately describe improtant physical effects beyond the isothermal Navier-Stokes fluid regime, higher order isotropy is required. In this…
Steady statistics of a passive scalar advected by a random two-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid is described in the range of scales between the correlation length of the flow and the diffusion scale. That corresponds to the…
We study the long-time behavior of a passive scalar transported by an incompressible flow in the presence of smooth, deterministic forcing. For a specific spatially Lipschitz and time-periodic velocity field, we prove that all sufficiently…
Statistical moments of velocity gradients provide fundamental information on the small-scale properties of turbulence. In this work, we propose a systematic method to derive exact expressions for statistical moments of arbitrary order for…
The mixing of passive scalars of decreasing diffusivity, advected in each case by the same three-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence, is studied. The mixing becomes more isotropic with decreasing diffusivity. The local flow in the vicinity…
A generalized logarithmic law for high-order moments of passive scalars is proposed for turbulent boundary layers. This law is analogous to the generalized log law that has been proposed for high-order moments of the turbulent longitudinal…
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…
