Dispersion law of a polluantRidchardson, Proc. Roy. Soc. London, 110, (1926).

Let’s consider two particles injected in a turbulent flow initially located ata distance d0 from each other. We assume that it exists a scale rangeL � ` � ⌘, so called the inertial range, in which the mean rate of kineticenergy dissipation " is assumed to be constant.

1 Express the kinetic energy dissipation rate "` at the scale ` in terms ofthe velocity and time characteristic scales, respectively denoted u`

and t`, then in terms of u` and ` only.2 Give an expression for u` in terms of "` and `. Assuming that "` is

constant through the scales, write a differential equation satisfied by `.3 Solve this equation and give a law for the time evolution of the

distance between two particles initially at the distance d0.

:

u1 = C sin ↵z + B cos ↵yu2 = A sin ↵x + C cos ↵zu3 = B sin ↵y + A cos ↵x

Atomic blastLet’s assume that, in an atomic explosion, a release of a significant amount ofenergy E occurs instantaneously within a small region (one may say, at a point).In the early stage, a strong spherical shock wave develops at the point ofdetonation.

1 Let’s assume that the radius R of the shock wave front, at an interval oftime t after the explosion only depends on the quantities E, t and on theinitial air density ⇢0. Using dimensional analysis, give an expression for R interms of E, t and ⇢0.

2 Then give an expression of E in terms of R, t and ⇢0.3 From a series of high speed photograph, Taylor has measured that the front

was at R = 125m at time t = 0.025s. Give the Taylor’s estimation of theenergy of the explosion. This was considered as top secret and caused ’muchembarrassment’ in American government circles. NA : ⇢0 = 1.3kg/m3.
