This study introduces a novel method to analyze fluid mixing by identifying vortex and strain features. The approach uses scalar quantities to map vortical and high-strain regions, creating hierarchical "skeletons" for flow field analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Computational physics
  • Data analysis

Background:

  • Analyzing fluid mixing is crucial for understanding complex flow phenomena.
  • Existing methods often focus on either Eulerian or Lagrangian perspectives, limiting comprehensive analysis.
  • Identifying coherent structures like vortices and strain regions is key to characterizing flow behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a unified approach for analyzing vortex and strain features in 3D flow fields.
  • To extract hierarchical vortex and strain skeletons using extremal structures of scalar quantities.
  • To apply the method to both steady and unsteady flow scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing scalar quantities with a duality property indicating both vortical and high-strain regions.

  • Applying the Okubo-Weiss and MZ-criteria within Eulerian and Lagrangian frameworks, respectively.
  • Extracting vortex skeletons from maximal extremal structures and strain skeletons from minimal structures using scalar field topology.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a method to simultaneously identify vortical (high values) and high-strain (low values) regions.
    • Defined hierarchical vortex and strain skeletons based on topological features.
    • Successfully applied the technique to various 3D steady and unsteady flow fields.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed approach offers a robust framework for analyzing flow field mixing by characterizing vortex and strain dynamics.
    • The extraction of hierarchical skeletons provides new insights into the topology of complex flows.
    • This method enhances the understanding of fluid mixing through a unified topological analysis.
