REVIEW OF TURBULENT MIXING MODELS

doi:10.1016/S0252-9602(10)60012-4

Abstract

Abstract:

Fluid mixing is an important phenomenon in many physical applications from supernova explosions to genetic structure formations. In this paper, we overview some theoretical and empirical dynamic mix models, which have been developed over the recent decades, in particular, the ensemble-average micro physical mix model, the multifluid interpenetration mix model, the phenomenological and hybrid turbulent mix models, the buoyancy drag mix model, the single fluid turbulence mix model, and the large eddy simulation mix model. The similarities, distinctions, and connections between these models and their applications are discussed.

Key words: hydrodynamic instabilities, turbulent mixing
