Cascades and transitions in turbulent flows

A Alexakis, L Biferale - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
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 …

Turbulence theories and statistical closure approaches

Y Zhou - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

Turbulence in more than two and less than three dimensions

A Celani, S Musacchio, D Vincenzi - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We investigate the behavior of turbulent systems in geometries with one compactified
dimension. A novel phenomenological scenario dominated by the splitting of the turbulent …

Turbulence in noninteger dimensions by fractal Fourier decimation

U Frisch, A Pomyalov, I Procaccia, SS Ray - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
Fractal decimation reduces the effective dimensionality D of a flow by keeping only a
(randomly chosen) set of Fourier modes whose number in a ball of radius k is proportional to …

Dual constant-flux energy cascades to both large scales and small scales

A Pouquet, R Marino, PD Mininni, D Rosenberg - Physics of Fluids, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
In this paper, we present an overview of concepts and data concerning inverse cascades of
excitation towards scales larger than the forcing scale in a variety of contexts, from two …

Turbulence on a fractal Fourier set

AS Lanotte, R Benzi, SK Malapaka, F Toschi… - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
A novel investigation of the nature of intermittency in incompressible, homogeneous, and
isotropic turbulence is performed by a numerical study of the Navier-Stokes equations …

Fluctuation-induced transitions in anisotropic two-dimensional turbulence

L Xu, A van Kan, C Liu, E Knobloch - Physical Review Fluids, 2024 - APS
Two-dimensional (2D) turbulence features an inverse energy cascade that produces large-
scale flow structures such as large-scale vortices (LSVs) and unidirectional jets. We …

Genesis of thermalization in the three-dimensional, incompressible, Galerkin-truncated Euler equation

SD Murugan, SS Ray - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
The long-time solutions of the Galerkin-truncated three-dimensional, incompressible Euler
equation relax to an absolute equilibrium as a consequence of phase space and kinetic …

Lagrangian statistics for Navier–Stokes turbulence under Fourier-mode reduction: fractal and homogeneous decimations

M Buzzicotti, A Bhatnagar, L Biferale… - New Journal of …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We study small-scale and high-frequency turbulent fluctuations in three-dimensional flows
under Fourier-mode reduction. The Navier–Stokes equations are evolved on a restricted set …

Thermalized solutions, statistical mechanics and turbulence: An overview of some recent results

SS Ray - Pramana, 2015 - Springer
In this study, we examine the intriguing connection between turbulence and equilibrium
statistical mechanics. There are several recent works which emphasize this connection …
