Turbulent and vortical flows are ubiquitous and their characterization is crucial for the
understanding of several natural and industrial processes. Among different techniques to …

Numerical and experimental turbulence simulations are nowadays reaching the size of the
so-called big data, thus requiring refined investigative tools for appropriate statistical …

A network-based analysis of a turbulent channel flow numerically solved at Re τ= 180 is
proposed as an innovative perspective for the spatial characterization of the flow field. Two …

In the present study, we applied the methodology of the complex network-based time series
analysis to experimental temperature time series from a vertical turbulent heated jet. More …

A temporal complex network-based approach is proposed as a novel formulation to
investigate turbulent mixing from a Lagrangian viewpoint. By exploiting a spatial proximity …

We introduce a network (graph) theoretic community-based framework to extract vortical
structures that serve the role of connectors for the vortical interactions in two-and three …

The present paper reports on our effort to characterize vortical interactions in complex fluid
flows through the use of network analysis. In particular, we examine the vortex interactions in …

The spatio-temporal features of the velocity field of a fully-developed turbulent channel flow
are investigated through the natural visibility graph (NVG) method, which is able to fully map …

The network of interactions among fluid elements and coherent structures gives rise to the
incredibly rich dynamics of vortical flows. These interactions can be described with the use …

The inherent difficulty of understanding turbulence has led to researchers attacking the topic
in many different ways over the years of turbulence research. Some approaches have been …
