Averaged Lagrangians and the mean dynamical effects of fluctuations in continuum mechanics
arXiv:nlin/0103035 · doi:10.1016/S0167-2789(02)00552-3
Abstract
We begin by placing the Generalized Lagrangian Mean (GLM) equations for a compressible adiabatic fluid into the Euler-Poincaré (EP) variational framework of fluid dynamics, for an averaged Lagrangian. We then derive a set of approximate small amplitude GLM equations (glm) that express the linear and nonlinear back-reaction effects on the Eulerian mean fluid quantities by the fluctuating displacements of the Lagrangian trajectories in terms of their Eulerian second moments. The new glm EP motion equations for compressible and incompressible ideal fluids are compared with the Euler-alpha turbulence closure equations. An alpha model is a GLM (or glm) fluid theory with a Taylor hypothesis closure (THC). The glm equations lead to generalizations of the Euler-alpha models to include compressibility and magnetic fields.
