Abstract: | An eddy-viscous term is added to Navier-Stokes dynamics at wave numbers k greater than the inflection point kc of the energy flux F(log(k)). The eddy viscosity is fixed so that the energy spectrum satisfies E(k) = E(kc) (k/kc)(-3) for k>kc. This resulting forcing induces a rapid depletion of the energy cascade at k>kc. It is observed numerically that the model reproduces turbulence energetics at k< or =kc and statistics of two-point velocity correlations at scales r>lambda (Taylor microscale). Compared to a direct numerical simulation of R(lambda) = 130 an equivalent run with the present model results in a gain of a factor 20 in CPU time. |
