Extraction and verification of coherent structures in near-wall turbulence

According to the characteristics of coherent structures in near-wall turbulence, an accurate extraction and verification method is developed based on wavelet transform (WT) and correlation analysis in this paper. At first, the fluid field of a turbulent boundary layer is measured precisely in a gravitational low-speed water tunnel. On the basis of the distribution of the coherent structures, velocity data of three test points are selected and analyzed, whose dimensionless heights are 20.8, 33.5, and 42.6. According to the frequency range of power spectrum density (PSD), coherent and incoherent structures are both extracted from the original signals using continuous and orthogonal wavelet transforms. To confirm the validity of the extracted signals, the probability density function (PDF) of each extracted signal is calculated. The result demonstrates that the incoherent structures obey the Gaussian distribution, while the coherent structures deviate from the Gaussian distribution. The PDFs of the coherent structures and the original signals are similar, which shows that the coherent structures make most contributions to the turbulence. For further verification, a correlation parameter between coherent and incoherent structures is defined, which evidently proves the validity of the extraction method in this paper.     

Some remarks on coherent structures out of chaos in planetary atmospheres and oceans

In the context of planetary atmospheres and oceans, it is natural to define "coherent structures" as "long-lived," or "solitary," Rossby vortices. These can be described by the generalized Charney-Obukhov equation (in fluid dynamics) or the analogous generalized Hasegawa-Mima equation (in plasma physics). These two equations contain KdV-type nonlinearities which (together with the compensating dispersive spreading) determine the formation of the coherent structures and explain the clear-cut cyclonic/anticyclonic asymmetry observed experimentally in long-lived planetary Rossby vortices. Examples are given of natural vortices which are (and which are not) coherent structures.     

Observation of extended poloidal structures in the turbulent edge plasma of the L-2M stellarator

Results are reported from an experimental study of the characteristics of the turbulent edge plasma in the L-2M stellarator. Extended coherent structures are observed to form in the poloidal direction. The poloidal coherence length of the fluctuations reaches 20 cm. The coherence of the fluctuations depends appreciably on the poloidal azimuth and is maximum along the outer edge, as is natural for unstable modes in a toroidal plasma. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

Solitary wave propagation in quantum electron-positron plasmas

Existence of large amplitude stationary solitary wave structures in an unmagnetized electron-positron (e-p) plasma is studied using a quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model that includes the quantum force (tunnelling) associated with the Bohm potential and the Fermi-dirac pressure law. It is found that in a quasi-neutral pair (e-p) plasma, where the dispersion is only due to the the quantum tunnelling effects, the large amplitude stationary solitary structure exists only when the normalized Mach speed,M <√2. Such solitary structures do not exist in absence of the Bohm potential term in an unmagnetized quasineutral pair (e-p) plasma. The system is shown to support only rarefactive stationary solitary waves. For such waves the amplitude, being independent of the quantum parameter H (the ratio of the electron plasmon to electron Fermi energy), decreases with the Mach number M, whereas the width increases with both M and H. The present theory is applicable to analyze the formation of localized coherent solitary structures at quantum scales in dense astrophysical objects as well as in intense laser fields.     

About bursty behaviour, coherent structures, wide scrape-off layer and large parallel flows in the edge of the Tore Supra tokamak

We present the measurements of plasma characteristics in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of the Tore Supra tokamak performed by means of reciprocating Langmuir probe. The probe is inserted into the machine from top. As the radial distance from last closed flux surface (LCFS) increases, ion saturation current exhibits stronger bursty character and its probability density function becomes increasingly skewed towards positive values. At the same time, burst duration and inter-burst time increase dramatically. We explain this phenomenon by radial propagation and dynamics of the ensemble of coherent turbulent structures of different size. The results of two-dimensional fluid modelling based of flux-driven interchange instability mechanism are in excellent agreement with experimental results. We obtained clear experimental evidence that most of the coherent structures are formed in poloidally localized region of the SOL around the outboard midplane. If the probe is magnetically connected to this region, the SOL is very wide and we detect bursty behaviour in the far SOL. On the other hand, if the probe is not magnetically connected to the outboard midplane region (magnetic field lines are intercepted by the outboard limiter), then the SOL is very thin and bursty behaviour is much less prominent. Detection of bursty behaviour in the far SOL is correlated with existence of wide SOL pointing on important role of bursty transport by means of coherent turbulent structures in establishing the width of the SOL in tokamaks. The measurements of parallel flow in the SOL shows that plasma particle radial flux coming from confinement region to the SOL is mostly poloidally localized around the outboard midplane. Our estimations show that more than 80% of plasma particle radial flux is coming from confinement region to the SOL in poloidally localized region — approximately ±15° — around the outboard midplane.

Imaging of supersonic flow over a double elliptic surface

The coherent structures of flow over a double elliptic surface are experimentally investigated in a supersonic lownoise wind tunnel at Mach number 3 using nano-tracer planar laser scattering(NPLS)and particle image velocimetry(PIV)techniques.High spatiotemporal resolution images and velocity fields of both laminar and turbulent inflows over the test model are captured.Based on the time-correlation images,the spatial and temporal evolutionary characteristics of the coherent structures are investigated.The flow structures in the NPLS images are in good agreement with the velocity fluctuation fields by PIV.From statistically significant ensembles,spatial correlation analysis of both cases is performed to quantify the mean size and the orientation of coherent structures.The results indicate that the mean structure is elliptical in shape and the structural angles in the separated region of laminar inflow are slightly smaller than that of turbulent inflow.Moreover,the structural angles of both cases increase with their distance away from the wall.

Anticorrelation between ion acceleration and nonlinear coherent structures from laser-underdense plasma interaction

In laser-plasma experiments, we observed that ion acceleration from the Coulomb explosion of the plasma channel bored by the laser is prevented when multiple plasma instabilities, such as filamentation and hosing, and nonlinear coherent structures (vortices or postsolitons) appear in the wake of an ultrashort laser pulse. The tailoring of the longitudinal plasma density ramp allows us to control the onset of these instabilities. We deduced that the laser pulse is depleted into these structures in our conditions, when a plasma at about 10% of the critical density exhibits a gradient on the order of 250 μm (Gaussian fit), thus hindering the acceleration. A promising experimental setup with a long pulse is demonstrated enabling the excitation of an isolated coherent structure for polarimetric measurements and, in further perspectives, parametric studies of ion plasma acceleration efficiency.
