Three-dimensional turbulent relative dispersion by the Gledzer-Ohkitani-Yamada shell model

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study pair dispersion in a three-dimensional incompressible high Reynolds number turbulent flow generated by Fourier transforming the dynamics of the Gledzer-Ohkitani-Yamada (GOY) shell model into real space. We show that GOY shell model can successfully reproduce both the Batchelor and the Richardson-Obukhov regimes of turbulent relative dispersion. We also study how the crossover time scales with the initial separations of a particle pair and compare it to the prediction by Batchelor.
