Abstract:
To investigate the process of grinding down of large eddies into smaller ones at high Reynolds Numbers, a finite difference method is used to obtain the periodic solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations numerically when the initial motion is assumed to be v sub 1 cos x sin y sin z v sub 2 - sin x cos y sin z v sub 3 0. Mean square kinetic energy and mean square vorticity are calculated and it is found that the numerical method provides estimates of these quantities up to t 1.90 at R 200 and up to t 1.70 at R 1000.
