Radiance gradients determined from data gathered by the infrared spectrometers aboard the Nimbus III and Nimbus IV satellites were related to the probabilities of clear air turbulence, as inferred from regular pilot reports. Such radiance gradients represent rather large-scale vertical wind shear. Clear air turbulence is least likely in regions where the radiance gradient is small. The results of this exploratory study show that satellite data can be used to design flight paths so that the probability of encountering clear air turbulence is extremely small.  相似文献

An infrared radiometer system has been developed that can alert a pilot of an aircraft 2 to 9 minutes in advance of an encounter with clear air turbulence. The time between the warning and the clear air turbulence event varies with the flight altitude of the aircraft. In turbulence-free areas, the incidence of false alarms is found to be less than one in 3.4 hours of flight time compared to less than one per 10 hours of flight time in areas with turbulence.  相似文献

The nature and origin of turbulence and magnetic fields in the intergalactic space are important problems that are yet to be understood. We propose a scenario in which turbulent-flow motions are induced via the cascade of the vorticity generated at cosmological shocks during the formation of the large-scale structure. The turbulence in turn amplifies weak seed magnetic fields of any origin. Supercomputer simulations show that the turbulence is subsonic inside clusters and groups of galaxies, whereas it is transonic or mildly supersonic in filaments. Based on a turbulence dynamo model, we then estimated that the average magnetic field strength would be a few microgauss (microG) inside clusters and groups, approximately 0.1 muG around clusters and groups, and approximately 10 nanogauss in filaments. Our model presents a physical mechanism that transfers the gravitational energy to the turbulence and magnetic field energies in the large-scale structure of the universe.  相似文献

From the earliest days and nights of telescopic astronomy, atmospheric turbulence has been a serious detriment to optical performance. The new technology of adaptive optics can overcome this problem by compensating for the wavefront distortion that results from turbulence. The result will be large gains in resolving power and limiting magnitude, closely approaching the theoretical limit. In other words, telescopic images will be very significantly sharpened. Rapid and accelerating progress is being made today by several groups. Adaptive optics, together with the closely related technology of active optics, seems certain to be utilized in large astronomical telescopes of the future. This may entail significant changes in telescope design.  相似文献

Shear flows undergo a sudden transition from laminar to turbulent motion as the velocity increases, and the onset of turbulence radically changes transport efficiency and mixing properties. Even for the well-studied case of pipe flow, it has not been possible to determine at what Reynolds number the motion will be either persistently turbulent or ultimately laminar. We show that in pipes, turbulence that is transient at low Reynolds numbers becomes sustained at a distinct critical point. Through extensive experiments and computer simulations, we were able to identify and characterize the processes ultimately responsible for sustaining turbulence. In contrast to the classical Landau-Ruelle-Takens view that turbulence arises from an increase in the temporal complexity of fluid motion, here, spatial proliferation of chaotic domains is the decisive process and intrinsic to the nature of fluid turbulence.  相似文献

After mass spawning events, coral embryos, lacking the protective capsule of other metazoans, are directly exposed to the environment at the ocean surface. Here, we present evidence that modest turbulence disrupts the integrity of these embryos, which fragment into totipotent cells that develop into proportionately smaller functional larvae. The level of turbulence required to fragment coral embryos can be generated from small wind-generated waves, which occur frequently during coral spawning on the Great Barrier Reef. The formation of planktonic coral clones, through natural embryo fragmentation of broadcast spawn, is a previously unknown mode of reproduction in the animal kingdom.  相似文献

环境温度导致的气云密度差和大气湍流变化是LNG泄漏扩散的主要影响因素,研究环境温度变化对LNG扩散规律的影响尤为重要。采用Fluent软件中组分输运和Realizable k-ε湍流模型,建立LNG地面泄漏气云扩散数值模型,探究环境温度对LNG泄漏扩散过程中甲烷体积分数的分布规律、气云密度、大气湍流强度的影响。结果表明:当环境温度较低时,LNG气云中各甲烷体积分数线出现"锯齿状"现象,造成甲烷爆炸下限(Low Flammability Limit,LFL)、1/2 LFL的水平扩散范围均增大;当环境温度较高时,甲烷LFL最远扩散距离较低温环境多115 m,造成甲烷1/2 LFL的水平顺风方向扩散距离增大;甲烷体积分数大于1/2 LFL的区域的大气湍流强度增幅则随温度升高而增加,而甲烷体积分数小于1/2 LFL的区域的大气湍流强度增幅随温度的升高而减小;在泄漏源周围100~200 m内,由于"逆温"所造成的大气湍流强度的增幅达0.79倍。研究结果可为LNG泄漏危害区域预测、安全储运、应急救援提供参考。  相似文献

Direct numerical simulations of wall-bounded flow reveal that turbulence production can be suppressed by a transverse traveling wave. Flow visualizations show that the near-wall streaks are eliminated, in contrast to other turbulence-control techniques, leading to a large shear stress reduction. The traveling wave can be induced by a spanwise force that is confined within the viscous sublayer; it has its maximum at the wall and decays exponentially away from it. We demonstrate the application of this approach in salt water, using arrays of electromagnetic tiles that produce the required traveling wave excitation at a high efficiency.  相似文献

The size of suspended particulate matter in air   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
By means of the NASN cascade impactor the particle sizes of ambient aerosols can be measured by fractionating the particles according to their aerodynamic dimensions, and the fractions can be quantified gravimetrically. Data obtained with this instrument show that particulate matter suspended in urban air in the United States and Great Britain is remarkably uniform in distribution and that the particles are predominantly less than 1 microm in diameter. In Ankara, Turkey, the high proportion of particles larger than 1 microm in diameter are associated with the incomplete combustion of lignite; particulate concentrations in Ankara, however, are considerably higher than those measured elsewhere. The growth of particles in air during temperature inversions occurs in Cincinnati; the greater proportion of large particles found there during inversion periods can account for the reduction in visibility. Aerosols in the vicinity of highways are composed of particles larger than those found some distance away because of the reentrainment of debris by the traffic-induced turbulence. On the other hand, highway configuration and traffic volume have little effect on the size distribution of aerosols in samples collected away from the turbulence area of the roadway. Aerosols measured inside buildings are predominantly smaller in size and exhibit a narrower range of sizes than aerosols outside buildings.  相似文献

Stratospheric wave spectra resembling turbulence   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Pollution effects on ozone raise the question of the significance of turbulence in vertical transport in the stratosphere. The aircraft in situ measurements of velocity fluctuations previously employed to estimate turbulence transport were, it is hypothesized, due to atmospheric waves, despite their classical turbulence spectrum. This new hypothesis implies that previous turbulence estimates are invalid. Experimental tests are suggested.  相似文献

Enhanced turbulence and energy dissipation at ocean fronts   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
The ocean surface boundary layer mediates air-sea exchange. In the classical paradigm and in current climate models, its turbulence is driven by atmospheric forcing. Observations at a 1-kilometer-wide front within the Kuroshio Current indicate that the rate of energy dissipation within the boundary layer is enhanced by one to two orders of magnitude, suggesting that the front, rather than the atmospheric forcing, supplied the energy for the turbulence. The data quantitatively support the hypothesis that winds aligned with the frontal velocity catalyzed a release of energy from the front to the turbulence. The resulting boundary layer is stratified in contrast to the classically well-mixed layer. These effects will be strongest at the intense fronts found in the Kuroshio Current, the Gulf Stream, and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, all of which are key players in the climate system.  相似文献

Observations of the sun reveal highly complex flows and magnetic structures that must result from turbulent convection in the solar envelope. A remarkable degree of large-scale coherence emerges from the small-scale turbulent dynamics, as seen in the cycles of magnetic activity and in the differential rotation profile of this star. High-performance computing now permits numerical simulations of compressible turbulence and magnetohydrodynamics with sufficient resolution to show that compact structures of vorticity and magnetic fields can coexist with larger scales. Such structured turbulence is yielding transport properties for heat and angular momentum at considerable variance with earlier models. These simulations are elucidating the coupling of turbulent fluid motions with rotation and magnetic fields, which must control the interlinked differential rotation and magnetic dynamo action.  相似文献

灌水器流道结构对水力性能影响的数值分析   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
采用计算软件Fluent,通过将壁面粗糙元抽象为多孔介质的微尺度效应处理方法进行建模,选用realizable k-ε模型,对3种齿形流道的灌水器内流进行数值研究。利用Micro-PIV试验测量结果验证了该模拟方法的可靠性,在多种流动条件下对3种齿形结构灌水器进行数值计算,并进行抗堵性能和水力性能分析。抗堵性分析表明,3种齿形流道在转角内侧都存在回流区,由于其侧均为高速主流而使颗粒沉积缓慢;尖角齿形流道的尖角部位,大部分区域由于具有一定的紊流强度也不易沉积杂质,只有其齿尖和平角齿形流道的左顶角部位易产生颗粒沉积。在水力性能分析中,通过对压力降和流态指数的比较表明,尖角齿形的灌水器在控制和稳定出流方面具有优势。  相似文献
