Turbulent flows are characterized by the non-linear cascades of energy and other inviscid
invariants across a huge range of scales, from where they are injected to where they are …

Fluid dynamics turbulence refers to the chaotic and unpredictable dynamics of flows.
Despite the fact that the equations governing the motion of fluids are known since more than …

In this paper a stationary action principle is proved to hold for capillary fluids, ie fluids for
which the deformation energy has the form suggested, starting from molecular arguments …

We study the two main phenomenologies associated with the transport of inertial particles in
turbulent flows, turbophoresis and small-scale clustering. Turbophoresis describes the …

The classical experiments on turbulent friction in rough pipes were performed by Nikuradse
in the 1930s. Seventy years later, they continue to defy theory. Here we model Nikuradse's …

The present work describes the multidimensional behaviour of scale-energy production,
transfer and dissipation in wall-bounded turbulent flows. This approach allows us to …

The paper describes the energy fluxes simultaneously occurring in the space of scales and
in the physical space of wall-turbulent flows. The unexpected behaviour of the energy fluxes …

Turbulent fluctuations induce the common phenomenon known as clustering in the spatial
arrangement of small inertial particles transported by the fluid. Particles spread non …

The statistical properties of wall turbulence in the logarithmic region are investigated using
structure functions of the streamwise velocity. To this end, datasets that span several orders …

A series of Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of lean methane/air flames was conducted to
investigate the enhancement of the turbulent flame speed and modifications to the reaction …
