How to explain energy cascade mechanisms? Why eddy breakups take place?
Welcome to PF.Vashliana said:How to explain energy cascade mechanisms? Why eddy breakups take place?
Think about shear forces and angular momentum, and size. Is it easier to turn (roll) a large object or smaller object?Vashliana said:but from the view point of physics i don't know how and why large eddy transfers energy to the smaller one?
Turbulence is caused by the interaction between fluid particles with different velocities, leading to chaotic and unpredictable flow patterns. This can occur due to various factors such as changes in pressure, temperature, or velocity within a fluid.
Turbulence can cause discomfort for passengers and can also impact the efficiency and stability of the aircraft. Pilots use weather forecasts and radar to avoid areas of high turbulence and adjust their flight path accordingly.
Eddy breakups occur when the energy of a turbulent flow is transferred to smaller scales, causing the formation of smaller eddies. This process continues until the energy dissipates and the eddies eventually break up.
Eddy breakups can significantly affect fluid flow by increasing mixing and diffusion, altering the transport of heat and mass, and influencing the overall flow patterns. They can also contribute to the dissipation of kinetic energy in turbulent flows.
Turbulence and eddy breakups are complex phenomena that are difficult to predict accurately. However, researchers have developed mathematical models and simulation techniques to better understand and predict these processes. Advances in technology and computational power have also improved our ability to forecast turbulence and eddy breakups in various applications.
