Effects of local large-scale parameters on the small-scale chaotic solutions to Burgers' equation
Abstract
The results of a study of the effects of local variations in velocity and pressure gradients on the nature of solutions to the small-scale Burger's equation are discussed. For relatively high Reynolds numbers, for which it is shown that transitions to turbulence can occur with respect to each of the velocity and pressure gradients, calculations are presented. Consideration is given to a display of flow regime maps which summarize the effects of the parameters. Easily applied methods for testing the convergence of grid functions corresponding to the chaotic solutions of a strange attractor, and for producing consistent models by which a variety of flow types can be calculated from the Burgers' equation, are provided.
