Deformation/Strain rate/Rotation *These are inverse time scales=internal bootstrap frequencies* The deformationtensorgoverns/encodes the local flow topology
Deformation: kinematics Deformation
Deformation/Strain rate/Rotation Strain rate: sheardissipation Compression: bulk dissipation Rotation: No Dissipation *These are inverse time scales=internal bootstrap frequencies*
WhiteboardExample: Compute S,D,Omega, div for Couette, Poiseuille, Rigidrotation, Irrotationalvortex, Elongational (torture) flow
Velocity-Vorticity Degree of localrotation Eliminates pressure Useful for nearly-inviscisflows
Rotational/Potential Flow Potential ~ Inviscid Potential & Incompressible Analyticfunction: veryuseful for 2D low-viscoushydrodynamics
What’svorticitygood for? Take curl of bothsides and use identity To obtain: Pressure-free! Vortex stretching:
Enstrophy Vorticity Stretch: Finite-time blow-up? 2d Beltrami flows:
What’svorticitygood for? Pressure-free! Vortex Collection: Long-range (electrostatic) interactions
Helicity 1d Swirlmotion, Dynamo 2d Beltrami flows:
2d: Vorticity-Streamfunction Two-dimensional Built-in incompressibility: Potential-->Irrotational:
Potential Flow: 2D Conformalmapping:
2d: Enstrophyconserved Vortex stretching identically zero: Enstrophyisconserved:
2d turbulence: Vorticity-Stream Two-dimensional: spectralmethods Nonlineardepletion: coherentstructures (vortices)
Coherent structures Non-linear depletion Cascadeblocking; Long-livedmetastablestates Enstrophycascade: REGULAR!
Ideal 2d: Hamiltonian Symplecticdynamics: Borrow a lot from particledynamics! Hamiltonian streaming + vortexmergers/breakup
Enstrophy: inverse cascade Cascadeblocking; Long-livedmetastablestates Enstrophycascade: Energy cascade: SINGULAR REGULAR!
