摘要
In this work, the spectral equilibrium theory of Ishihara [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 154501 (2002)] is applied to Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence. With the help of Canuto and Dubovikov's model [V. Canuto and M. Dubovikov, Phys. Fluids 8, 571 (1996)] closed expressions for the anisotropic spectra of velocity and density, valid in the inertial range, are derived. Based on this result, the main properties of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence at small scales are discussed. These theoretical results are compared against a direct numerical simulation of a Rayleigh-Taylor mixing zone. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3680871]
