[论文解读] Observable Divergence Theorem: Evolution Equations for Inviscid Regularization of Shocks and Turbulence
本文提出了可观测散度定理(Observable Divergence Theorem),这是一种新颖的框架,通过在用户定义的尺度 $\alpha$ 下使用空间平均通量重新定义散度定理,从而推导出适用于激波和湍流的正则化、无粘性演化方程。通过在推导微分方程之前应用该定理,该方法可导出不可压缩流的无粘Leray模型,并在无需粘性项或数值耗散的情况下,实现激波和湍流的稳定、无振荡模拟。
The divergence theorem of Gauss plays a central role in the derivation of the governing differential equations in fluid dynamics, electrodynamics, gravitational fields, and optics. One is often interested in an evolution equation for the large scale quantities without resolving the details of the small scales. As a result, there has been a significant effort in developing time-averaged and spatially-filtered equations for large scale dynamics from the fully resolved governing differential equations. One should realize that by starting from these fully-resolved equations (e.g. the Euler or Navier-Stokes equations) to derive an averaged evolution equation one has already taken the limit of the wave-numbers approaching infinity with no regards to our observational abilities at such a limit. As a result, obtaining the evolution equations for large scale quantities (low wave-numbers) by an averaging or filtering process is done after the fact. This could explain many of the theoretical and computational difficulties with the Euler or Navier-Stokes equations. Here, a rather different approach is proposed. The averaging process in implemented before the derivation of the differential form of the transport equations. A new observable divergence concept is defined based on fluxes calculated from observable quantities at a desired averaging scale, $α$. An observable divergence theorem is then proved and applied in the derivation of the observable and regularized transport equations. We further show that the application of the observable divergence theorem to incompressible flows results in a formal derivation of the inviscid Leray turbulence model first proposed in 1934. It is argued that such a methodology in deriving fluid evolution equations removes many of the theoretical and computational difficulties in multi-scale problems such as turbulence and shocks.

- RQ1能否通过在微分方程推导之前将平均过程嵌入散度定理,实现正则化流体方程的正式推导?
- RQ2可观测散度定理是否能在无粘性正则化的情况下,产生一致且稳定的激波和湍流演化方程?
- RQ3所得的可观测Euler方程能否再现已知解,如熵解和行进激波?

主要发现
- 可观测散度定理成功实现了在有限尺度 $\alpha$ 下对通量进行平均后,再进行微分,从而推导出适用于激波和湍流的正则化、无粘性演化方程。
- 可观测不可压缩Euler方程在形式上退化为1934年Leray首次提出的无粘Leray模型,为这一长期存在的模型提供了第一性原理的推导。
- 2D激波-涡旋相互作用的数值模拟显示,即使在高分辨率下,激波区域也未出现虚假振荡,且完全不依赖粘性项或数值耗散。
- 激波厚度由平均尺度 $\alpha$ 控制,$\alpha$ 越小则需要更高分辨率,但能保持物理结构的完整性。
- 可观测Euler方程支持与经典Euler方程相同的行进激波和熵解,且当 $\alpha \to 0$ 时收敛至熵解。
- 该方法能够在不依赖人工粘性或迎风格式的情况下,实现复杂流动(如激波-湍流相互作用和各向同性湍流)的稳定且精确模拟。
