An Experimental Study of the Transport of a Non-Diffusive Scalar Contaminant in the Decaying Turbulence Field of an Enclosed Chamber.

Abstract

An experimental investigation of the convective properties of a turbulence field within a closed mixing chamber has been executed; the investigation is supported by appropriate theoretical analyses. The purpose of the study were (1) to develop an experimental technique which could ascertain the convective, or dispersive, properties of such a turbulence field (i.e., with the constraint of zero molecular diffusivity); and (2) to document the influence of the Reynolds number on the convective transport properties of a representative field.
