Introduction

How to decompose turbulent fluctuations?

‘In 1938 Tollmien and Prandtl suggested that turbulent fluctuations might consist of two components, a diffusive and a non-diffusive. Their ideas that fluctuations include both random and non random elements are correct, but as yet there is no known procedure for separating them.’

Hugh Dryden, Adv. Appl. Mech., 1, 1948

turbulent fluctuations = non random + random = coherent structures + incoherent noise turbulent dynamics = chaotic non diffusive + stochastic diffusive = inviscid nonlinear dynamics + turbulent dissipation

1D Wavelet bases

  • Orthogonal wavelet bases on the real line are obtained by dilating and

translating a single, well chosen oscillating function.

  • They have good locality properties both in scale and space.

The « coiflet 12 » wavelets and their corresponding energy spectra. the construction can be generalized to any dimension using the multiresolution formalism.

Scalewise and directionwise extraction

→ incoherent → coherent μ is the direction j is the scale i is the position (*) Azzalini et al., ACHA 18 (2004) As a first guess, we make the hypothesis that the incoherent part is an additive Gaussian noise. Hence we can separate them by thresholding: Gaussian contributions will correspond to the smallest wavelet coefficients at their respective scale. The scalewise and directionwise thresholds are determined from the field itself using a fixed-point iterative procedure (*).

Conclusion

  • Coherent enstrophy was defined using scalewise statistics of the vorticity field

that could be obtained thanks to a wavelet transform.

  • The Navier-Stokes equations at increasingly high Reynolds numbers were solved

using a classical pseudo-spectral method.

  • The analysis of the numerical solutions shows that coherent enstrophy is

dissipated in the inviscid limit, even though total enstrophy is conserved.

  • The remainder, incoherent enstrophy, gets spread between wavelet coefficients

that behave like a correlated Gaussian process with a spectral slope -1, like the total vorticity field.

  • We conjecture that only the coherent coefficients have to be solved for

deterministically using Coherent Vortex Simulation, while the incoherent ones could be modelled by a random process. More references: http://wavelets.ens.fr Numerical tools (incl. parallel wavelet transform): http://justpmf.com/romain/kicksey_winsey
