We consider a model equation for the Navier–Stokes strain equation which has the same identity for enstrophy growth and a number of the same regularity criteria as the full Navier–Stokes strain equation, and is also an evolution equation on the same constraint space. We prove finite-time blowup for this model equation, which shows that the identity for enstrophy growth and the strain constraint space are not sufficient on their own to guarantee global regularity for Navier–Stokes. The mechanism for the finite-time blowup of this model equation is the self-amplification of strain, which is consistent with recent research suggesting that strain self-amplification, not vortex stretching, is the main mechanism behind the turbulent energy cascade. Because the strain self-amplification model equation is obtained by dropping certain terms from the full Navier–Stokes strain equation, we will also prove a conditional blowup result for the full Navier–Stokes equation involving a perturbative condition on the terms neglected in the model equation.

We derive new kinetic and a porous medium equations from the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with random potentials. The kinetic equation has a very similar form compared to the four-wave turbulence kinetic equation in the wave turbulence theory. Moreover, we construct a class of self-similar solutions for the porous medium equation. These solutions spread with time, and this fact answers the “weak turbulence” question for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with random potentials. We also derive Ohm’s law for the porous medium equation.more » « less

Abstract This paper reports the development of a numerical solver aimed to simulate the interaction between the space charge (i.e. ions) distribution and the electric field in liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detectors. The ion transport equation is solved by a time-accurate, cell-centered finite volume method and the electric potential equation by a continuous finite element method. The electric potential equation updates the electric field which provides the drift velocity to the ion transport equation. The ion transport equation updates the space charge density distribution which appears as the source term in the electric potential equation. The interaction between the space charge distribution and the electric field is numerically simulated within each physical time step. The convective velocity in the ion transport equation can include the background flow velocity in addition to the electric drift velocity. The numerical solver has been parallelized using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. Numerical tests show and verify the capability and accuracy of the current numerical solver. It is planned that the developed numerical solver, together with a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) package which provides the flow velocity field, can be used to investigate the space charge effect on the electric field in large-scale particle detectors.more » « less
