| الوصف: | The dynamics of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence convection in presence of an alternating, time periodic acceleration is studied by means of extensive direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations. Within this framework, we discover a new mechanism of relaminarization of turbulence: The alternating acceleration, which initially produces a growing turbulent mixing layer, at longer times suppresses turbulent fluctuation and drives the system toward an asymptotic stationary configuration. Dimensional arguments and linear stability theory are used to predict the width of the mixing layer in the asymptotic state as a function of the period of the acceleration. Our results provide an example of simple control and suppression of turbulent convection with potential applications in different fields. Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures |
