Abstract:A spectral representation of kinetic energy for a vortex cascade of instability in a compress ible inviscid shear flow is considered, and the Rayleigh-Taylor instability is studied. A comparative analysis is given to the spectral decompositions of kinetic energy for both problems. The classical Kol mogorov -5/3 power law is proved to hold for developed turbulent flows.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
