Van der Waals Cascade in Supercritical Turbulence near a Critical Point
arXiv:2101.08708 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.3.L032027
Abstract
We investigate a quite strong turbulence in a supercritical fluid near a gas-liquid critical point. Specifically, we consider a case in which the Kolmogorov scale is much smaller than the equilibrium correlation length . Although equilibrium critical fluctuations are destroyed by turbulence, still provides a crossover length scale between two types of energy cascade. At scales much larger than , the Richardson cascade becomes dominant, whereas at scales much smaller than , another type of cascade, which we call the van der Waals cascade, is induced by density fluctuations. Experimental conditions required to observe the van der Waals cascade are also discussed.
