Mean temperature and concentration profiles in turbulent internal flows
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We derive explicit formulas for the mean profiles of temperature or
concentration of a diffusing substance (modeled as passive scalars) in forced
turbulent convection, as a function of the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The
derivation leverages on the observed universality of the inner-layer thermal
eddy diffusivity with respect to Reynolds and Prandtl number variations and
across different flows, and on universality of the passive scalar defect in the
core flow. Matching of the inner- and outer-layer expression yields a smooth
compound passive scalar profile. We find excellent agreement of the analytical
profile with data from direct numerical simulations of pipe and channel flows
under various forcing conditions, and over a wide range of Reynolds and Prandtl
numbers.
