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 …

Study of high–Reynolds number isotropic turbulence by direct numerical simulation

T Ishihara, T Gotoh, Y Kaneda - Annual review of fluid …, 2009 - annualreviews.org
We review studies of the statistics of isotropic turbulence in an incompressible fluid at high
Reynolds numbers using direct numerical simulation (DNS) from the viewpoint of …

Inverse energy cascade in three-dimensional isotropic turbulence

L Biferale, S Musacchio, F Toschi - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
We study the statistical properties of homogeneous and isotropic three-dimensional (3D)
turbulent flows. By introducing a novel way to make numerical investigations of Navier …

The joint cascade of energy and helicity in three-dimensional turbulence

Q Chen, S Chen, GL Eyink - Physics of Fluids, 2003 - pubs.aip.org
Helicity is the signature of parity breaking in incompressible fluid flows. For example, the
most general twopoint velocity correlation consistent with homogeneity and isotropy but not …

Ginzburg-Landau theory of type II superconductors in magnetic field

B Rosenstein, D Li - Reviews of modern physics, 2010 - APS
Thermodynamics of type II superconductors in electromagnetic field based on the Ginzburg-
Landau theory is presented. The Abrikosov flux lattice solution is derived using an …

Locality of turbulent cascades

GL Eyink - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2005 - Elsevier
In this paper we establish sufficient conditions for locality of turbulent cascades, by an exact
analysis of the fluid equations. No assumptions of homogeneity or isotropy are invoked and …

Hierarchy of coherent vortices in turbulence behind a cylinder

J Fujino, Y Motoori, S Goto - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
To draw concrete pictures of the hierarchy of multiscale coherent vortices in turbulence
behind a cylinder and to reveal their sustaining mechanism, we conduct direct numerical …

Compressible turbulence: the cascade and its locality

H Aluie - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
We prove that interscale transfer of kinetic energy in compressible turbulence is dominated
by local interactions. In particular, our results preclude direct transfer of kinetic energy from …

Physical mechanism of the inverse energy cascade of two-dimensional turbulence: a numerical investigation

Z Xiao, M Wan, S Chen, GL Eyink - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2009 - cambridge.org
We report an investigation of inverse energy cascade in steady-state two-dimensional
turbulence by direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes …

Cascade of kinetic energy in three-dimensional compressible turbulence

J Wang, Y Yang, Y Shi, Z Xiao, XT He, S Chen - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
The conservative cascade of kinetic energy is established using both Fourier analysis and a
new exact physical-space flux relation in a simulated compressible turbulence. The subgrid …
