Turbulence Theory - Mixing

Katepalli Sreenivasan, New York University

Outline:  

Examples of mixing problems
The mathematical statement: Eulerian and Lagrangian views
Models of mixing
Computational advances
Knowledge of the following aspects in several configurations:

  • probability density
  • spectral scaling in the inertial-convective and viscous-convective regions
    (Kolmogorov-Obukhov-Corrsin-Batchelor- Kraichnan scaling results)
Richardson's diffusion (if time permits)
Thermal convection (if time permits)
