摘要
Using velocity fields obtained in direct numerical simulations of turbulent convection and of turbulent channel flow, the energy transfer process among lateral scales of motion in these low Reynolds number flows is analyzed. In all cases the energy is transferred most effectively between scales of similar size. As a result, the subgrid-scale energy transfer is caused almost exclusively by interactions between resolved scales and subgrid scales characterized by wave numbers not greater than twice the cutoff wave number. The scale dependence of forward and inverse energy transfers contributing to the total subgrid-scale eddy viscosity is discussed. The local energy transfer between small scales is strongly affected by the nonlocal interactions characterized by a scale separation greater than a factor of 2 in wave number. However, the direct energy transfer between scales satisfying this condition is one order of magnitude less than the local energy transfer between scales of similar size.
