摘要

Turbulent convection systems are known to give rise to prominent large-scale circulation. At the same time, the 'background' (or 'small-scale') turbulence is also highly relevant and e.g. carries the majority of the heat transport in the bulk of the flow. Here, we investigate how the small-scale turbulence is interlinked with the large-scale flow organization of Rayleigh-Benard convection. Our results are based on a numerical simulation at Rayleigh number Ra = 10(8) in a large aspect ratio (Gamma = 32) cell to ensure a distinct scale separation. We extract local magnitudes and wavenumbers of small-scale turbulence and find significant correlation of large-scale variations in these quantities with the large-scale signal. Most notably, we find stronger temperature fluctuations and increased small-scale transport (by about 10% of the global Nusselt number Nu) in plume impacting regions and opposite trends in the plume emitting counterparts. This concerns wall distances up to 2 delta(theta) (thermal boundary layer thickness). Local wavenumbers are generally found to be higher on the plume emitting side compared to the impacting one. A second independent approach by means of conditional averages confirmed these findings and yields additional insight into the large-scale variation of small-scale properties. Our results have implications for the modelling of small-scale turbulence.
