22 Density statistics: PDF With an isothermal EOS, the local Mach number does not correlate with density lognormal density PDF [Nordlund & Padoan 1998; Passot & Vázquez-Semadeni 1998]. We get σ 2 = ln(1 + b 2 M 2 ) with b Watch MPEG animation here. Compare with b 0.5 from low-resolution MHD simulations [Padoan et al.1997; Nordlund & Padoan 1998]. 0 Time-average gas density PDF (1024PPM, Mach 6) <PDF> 4tdyn b=0.2602(5) log 10 PDF log 10 (ρ)
23 Density statistics: 3D power spectrum Time-average density power spectrum (170 snapshots within 4t dyn ) slope(0.6,1.3) = -1.07(1) slope(1.4,1.7) = (2) 1024PPM Mach 6 log <P(k)> log k 23 At high Mach numbers the density power spectrum is shallower than in the transonic case. The inertial range slope at Mach 6 is Compare with 1.08 for a Mach 3.4 simulation at with a more diffusive solver [Kim & Ryu 2005]. The spectrum gets shallower upon collisions of strong shocks, when the PDF s high density wing rises above its average lognormal representation. Watch MPEG animation here. There is some pileup of power at λ 40 x, see the next two slides.
24 Density statistics: a convergence test Time-average density power spectrum (37 snapshots within 1.3t dyn ) slope(0.6,1.3) = -0.91(3) slope(1.2,1.7) = -0.89(1) 512PPM Mach 6-1 log <P(k)> log k 24 At the resolution of 512 3, the bottleneck effect at high wave numbers and turbulence forcing at low wave numbers leave essentially no room for the unaffected inertial range in k-space, even though the spectrum does show a nice power law. The slope of 0.90 at is significantly shallower than 1.07 at Spectral slope estimates based on low resolution simulations, e.g. [Kim & Ryu 2005], should be taken with a grain of salt since the uncertainty is, perhaps, larger than 15%.
25 Velocity statistics: 3D power spectrum Compensated velocity power spectrum (time-average over 4t dyn ) slope(0.6,1.1) = -1.95(2) slope(1.2,1.7) = (3) 1024PPM Mach 6 log k 5/3 <E t (k)> log k Bottleneck phenomenon: numerical viscosity increases turbulence level in the inertial interval of scales [Falkovich, 1994]. Inertial range slope is The first real measurement for supersonic case! Watch MPEG animation here. NB: possible caveats discussed later in the talk.
26 Velocity statistics: 3D power spectrum The velocity field is decomposed into solenoidal ( v = 0) and dilatational ( v = 0) parts Time-average velocity power spectra (1024PPM Mach 6; <...> 4tdyn ) 0-1 Total Solenoidal Dilatational log <E t,s,c (k)> log k At Mach 6 the solenoidal component contributes about 68% of the total power. For comparison, in div-free driven transonic turbulence the dilatational component saturates at a level of 10% [Porter et al. 2002].
27 Velocity statistics: 3D power spectrum solenoidal k 5/3 dilatational k 2 Compensated power spectrum for solenoidal velocity (<...> 4tdyn ) Compensated power spectrum for dilatational velocity (<...> 4tdyn ) slope(0.6,1.1) = -1.92(2) slope(1.2,1.7) = (3) 1024PPM Mach slope(0.6,1.1) = -2.02(2) slope(1.2,1.7) = (3) 1024PPM Mach 6 0 log k 5/3 <E s (k)> log k 2 <E c (k)> log k log k Both components exhibit the bottleneck effect in the same range of scales. The inertial range slope for the dilatational velocity field 2.02 ± , as in Burgulence [Frisch & Beck 2001].
28 Velocity statistics: structure functions The velocity structure functions (SFs) are defined as 28 S p (l) u(x + l) u(x) p l ζ(p), where u l for longitudinal and u l for transverse SFs, and the spatial average is taken over all positions x within the box.
29 Velocity statistics: structure functions We first build the PDFs for velocity differences and then compute the moments (SFs). PDFs for Transverse Velocity Differences (PPM1024) -2 log 10 PDF(n x; δu t ) n= log 10 δu t
30 Velocity statistics: 2nd order structure functions At Mach 6 the best fit values for log 10 x [ 1.5, 0.5] give an average of ζ(2) This slope is substantially steeper than both 2 3 [Kolmogorov 1941] and 0.74 [Boldyrev 2002]. S 2 (l) δu(l) 2 l ζ(2) nd order longitudinal and transverse velocity SFs (1024PPM) 0.952(4) 0.977(8) <L> <T> 30 1 log 10 S 2 (x) log 10 x
31 Velocity statistics: 3rd order structure functions Unlike in the incompressible limit [Kolmogorov 1941] or in transonic regime [Porter et al. 2002], at Mach 6 ζ(3) The relative 2nd order exponent Z 2 ζ(2)/ζ(3) 0.75 is close to the predicted value of 0.74 [Boldyrev (2002)] S 3 (l) δu(l) 3 l ζ(3) 3rd order longitudinal and transverse velocity SFs (1024PPM) <L> <T> 31 2 log 10 S 3 (x) log 10 x
32 Velocity statistics: high-order structure functions Magnification of the large amplitude tail of the PDF With pairs per PDF, we get reasonably good statistics reliable estimates for high-order moments, perhaps, up to p = PDFs for Transverse Velocity Differences (PPM1024) p= log 10 PDF(n x; δu t ) n= log 10 δu t The four fences indicate the positions where the integrand of the pth order moment has its peak.
33 Velocity statistics: structure functions Bottleneck Phenomenon? Same flattening at small scales is observed for high-order structure functions. The bottleneck corrections grow with the order p [Falkovich 1994] and influence the SFs in a nonlocal fashion [Dobler et al. 2003]. 33 Second order SFs are less susceptible to the bottleneck effect [Dobler et al. 2003], and within the inertial range their slope ( 0.96) agrees well with the energy spectrum slope. 3 Relative differential slopes for the transverse velocity SFs (1024PPM) p=1 23 ζ(p)/ζ(3) log 10 x
34 Velocity statistics: Hierarchical Structure model A model for the inertial range structures The HS model describes the inertial range dynamics and involves a hierarchy of functions F p (l) = S p+1 (l)/s p (l) 34 associated with higher intensity of fluctuations as p. She & Lévêque ( ) postulated a hierarchical symmetry relation with respect to a translation in p F p+1 (l) = A p F p (l) β F 1 β, where 0 β 1 measures the degree of intermittency (β 1 K41; β 0 Burgers shocks), A p is independent of l and may weakly depend on p. F characterizes the most intermittent structures and can be eliminated by considering the ratio F p+1 (l) F 2 (l) ( = A p Fp (l) A 1 F 1 (l) ) β The postulate proposed by She & Lévêque can be tested by plotting F p+1(l) F 2 (l) log-log plane. against F p(l) F 1 (l) in
35 Velocity statistics: Hierarchical Structure model The β-test If we measure average slopes for 32 x < l < 256 x, we get β = Compare with β [0.77, 0.82] for MHD turbulence at [Padoan et al., 2004]. 35 Notice a weak dependence of A p on p. 0.5 β test, transverse velocity (F p (x)=s p+1 (x)/s p (x), 1024PPM) 0.4 log 10 F p+1 (x)/f 2 (x) 0.3 p= β= log 10 F p (x)/f 1 (x)
36 Velocity statistics: Hierarchical Structure model Assuming F S γ 3, 36 She & Lévêque derived a general scaling formula for the relative exponents ζ(p)/ζ(3) = γp + C(1 β p ), with the normalization condition for the codimension of the support of the most singular dissipative structures C = (1 3γ)/(1 β 3 ). Then ζ(p)/ζ(3) χ(p, β) = γ(p 3χ(p, β)), where χ(p, β) (1 β p )/(1 β 3 ). Now we can plot ζ(p)/ζ(3) χ(p, β) vs. p 3χ(p, β) and check the validity of the assumption made above.
37 Velocity statistics: Hierarchical Structure model 1.2 The γ-test γ test (p=4,...,15; transverse velocity; ESS; 1024PPM) ζ p /ζ 3 -χ(p,β) p-3χ(p,β) γ=0.06 T γ = 0.06 could be an indication that the most intermittent structures in supersonic HD turbulence are more singular than in MHD turbulence (γ = 1/9 [Padoan et al., 2004]).
38 Velocity statistics: structure function exponents The HS model provides good fits to the differential exponents within the inertial interval. The scatter of the best-fit values of β and γ at different displacements l within the inertial range measures the uncertainty of the scaling. 38 The dimension of the support for the most singular dissipative structures, D = Caution! The high order statistics at large displacements can be affected by small anisotropies of the driving force [Porter et al. 2002]. ζ(p)/ζ(3) Relative scaling exponents for the transverse VSFs (1024PPM, ESS) K41 SL94 B p 90 x: γ = β = 0.67 C = x: γ = β = 0.63 C = x: γ = β = 0.58 C = 0.70
39 Density statistics: multifractal distributions Boldyrev et al. (2002) proposed that in isotropic supersonic turbulence the multifractal distributions for the density and velocity fields are related. 39 The quantities of practical interest are density correlators: [ρ(x + l)ρ(x)] m l ξ(m), where ξ(m) = ζ(2mp 0 ) 2mζ(p 0 ), and p 0 is obtained as a solution of ζ(2p + 2) = 2ζ(p), while ζ(p) represent scaling exponents of velocity structure functions n= PDFs for Density Correlator (PPM1024) log 10 PDF log 10 ρ(x)ρ(x+n x)
40 Density statistics: multifractal distributions At Mach 6 we are getting substantially shallower slopes for orders m = 1, 2, 3 than those predicted by Boldyrev et al. (2002). 40 log 10 <[ρ(r)ρ(r+x)] m > Density correlators (Mach 6, 1024PPM, samples) (-0.28) m= (-1.2) m=2-1.5 (-2.3) m= log 10 x
41 Summary 41 High Re[solution] is needed to reproduce the complex pattern of nested hierarchical structures forming in supersonic turbulent flows due to (non)linear instabilities. These instabilities may control the scaling properties of supersonic turbulence. The exponents of the 3rd order velocity structure functions ζ(3) 1 at Mach 6. The bottleneck effect strongly contaminates high-order velocity statistics. A higher than points resolution (and/or a good subgrid model) is needed to determine the scaling properties of turbulence in the inertial range. The fractal dimension of the support for dynamically important structures at Mach 6 D 2.1, but the uncertainty is large. To be measured with other techniques.
