DISTRIBUTION OF TURBULENT ENERGY AND CONCENTRATIONS AT LARGE WAVE NUMBERS,

Abstract

For large Rynolds and Peclet numbers, mechanisms for the spectral transfer of turbulent energy and concentration at large wave numbers are proposed. Based on these mechanisms, the turbulent energy spectrum function and the turbulent concentration spectrum functions of species with arbitrary Schmidt numbers are deduced for the whole universal (equilibrium) range. The resulting one-dimensional energy and concentration spectra are compared with experiments. (Author)
