Mathematical formulation

• incompressible fluid with constant densitycontained in a 2D torus (3D case briefly mentioned),

• the torus may either– be filled with fluid only => wall-less,– contain solid obstacle(s) => wall-bounded.

• The main question we are trying to address is: how to deal with the wall-bounded case?

Known convergence results

• Without walls, for smooth initial data, we have the strongconvergence result (Golovkin 1966, Swann 1971, Kato 1972) :

in all Sobolev spaces for all time in 2D, and as long as the smooth Eulersolution exists in 3D (the constant in the O may blow up very fast in time).

• With walls,– what is the limit of uRe ?– is there energy dissipation in this limit ?– what equation is satisfied by this limit ?

Remarks on numerical approximation

1. There exists exponentially accurate schemes for the wall-less Navier-Stokes equations (i.e. the error decreasesexponentially with computing time),

2. In the 2D wall-less case, the numerical discretization sizeshould satisfy:

(remark : the proof of that is not yet complete)

• 1+2 imply that, in the 2D wall-less case, solving NSprovides an order 2 scheme to approach the vanishingviscosity limit (i.e. solving Euler), (at least in the energy norm)

what about the wall-bounded case ??

What does this have to do with turbulence ?

• focus on fully deterministic initial value problem,

• many steps away from statistical theories of turbulence !(like molecular dynamics compares to the kinetic theory of gases)

• look for new “microscopic hypotheses” that could be usedto improve current statistical theories,

• cf. recent discoveries by Tran & Dritschel*, who showedthat one of the basic “microscopic hypotheses” of theKraichnan-Batchelor 2D turbulence theory is slightlyincorrect.

Volume penalization

11

Volume penalization method

• For efficiency and simplicity, we would like to stick to aspectral solver in periodic, Cartesian coordinates.

• as a counterpart, we need to add an additional term in theequations to approximate the effect of the boundaries,

• this method was introduced by Arquis & Caltagirone (1984),and its spectral discretization by Farge & Schneider (2005),

• it has now become classical for solving various PDEs.

Choice of geometry

• We consider a channel, periodic in the y direction

where U is the RMS velocity and L is the half-width.

Choice of initial conditions

Pressure compatibility condition notsatisfied exactly but we havechecked that it does not creat toomuch problems at t=0.

Choice of parameters

• To resolve the Burgers-Kato layer, we impose:

•We take for η the minimum value allowed by the CFLcondition, which implies:

Boundary conditions

• A posteriori, check what were the boundary conditions seenby the flow.

• Define the boundary as the isoline χ = 0.02, where theviscous term approximately balances the penalization termin the penalized equations.

• To avoid grid effects interpolate the fields along this isoline.

• The normal velocity is smaller than 10-3 (to be compared with the initial RMS velocity 0.443),

• but the tangential velocity reaches values of order 0.1 !!

21

Boundary conditions

• We plot the tangential velocity as a function of thetangential stress:

22

Boundary conditions

• A linear relationship with correlation coefficient above 0.98appears:

• The flow hence sees Navier boundary conditions with aslip length α satisfying:

23

Subregions

We define two subregions of interest in the flow :• region A : a vertical slab of width 10N-1 along the wall,• region B : a square box of side 0.025 around the center of

the main structure.

Now we consider the local energy disspation rate:

(sometimes called pseudo-dissipation rate)

and we integrate it over A and B respectively.

Conclusion

• energy dissipation in the vanishing viscosity limit of2D flows– can be observed using volume penalization method at

high resolution K ~ Re1,– is difficult to observe with other methods due to lack of

resolution (adaptivity needed),– is compatible with Burgers-Kato scaling k⊥ ~ Re1,– is incompatible with all other scalings, except VK law of

the wall if uτ does not vanish with Re,

• residual slip with α ~ Re-1 may be an issue.What about no-slip ? more dissipation ?

A quick remark: Schrödinger analogy

• Note that (Sη) is analog to the eigenvalue problem for theSchrödinger operator with a « hard well » potential:

• η going to zero corresponds to semi-classical limit.• there is a classical theory of such problems, which studies

in particular the exponential decay of solutions (related tothe quantum tunnel effect, mathematical ref.: S. Agmon),

• however the effect of pressure term is specific to Stokes,

this analogy remains to be exploited

Semi-analytical solution

• Fourier series in the x2 (wall-parallel) direction,• eliminate pressure and û2,• write 4th order linear ODE on û1(x1,k2), with

constant coefficients on ]0,π[ and ]π,2 π[,• solve by complex exponentials on these intervals,• reconnect at x1=0 and x1=π, yielding 8 by 8 linear

system, determined using symbolic computationsoftware,

• vanishing determinant yields (complicated)eigenvalue equation, which can be solvednumerically.

Preliminary analysis of analytical results

• The most interesting feature is the behavior insidethe boundary, which is like

η1/2 exp(-kx)and not

η1/2 exp(-x/η1/2)as for the Laplace operator !

• This is due to the nonlocal effect of pressure.• We now present some preliminary « raw » results

for k=3.
