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 …

Global fluctuations in physical systems: a subtle interplay between sum and extreme value statistics

M Clusel, E Bertin - International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2008 - World Scientific
Fluctuations of global additive quantities, like total energy or magnetization for instance, can
in principle be described by statistics of sums of (possibly correlated) random variables. Yet …

Observations of turbulence in a Kelvin‐Helmholtz event on 8 September 2015 by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission

JE Stawarz, S Eriksson, FD Wilder… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Spatial and high‐time‐resolution properties of the velocities, magnetic field, and 3‐D electric
field within plasma turbulence are examined observationally using data from the …

Experimental evidence of random shock-wave intermittency

G Ricard, E Falcon - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We report the experimental observation of intermittency in a regime dominated by random
shock waves on the surface of a fluid. We achieved such a nondispersive surface-wave field …

Intermittency of interstellar turbulence: extreme velocity-shears and CO emission on milliparsec scale

E Falgarone, J Pety, P Hily-Blant - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009 - aanda.org
Aims. The condensation of diffuse gas into molecular clouds and dense cores occurs at a
rate driven largely by turbulent dissipation. This process still has to be caught in action and …

Lagrangian structure functions in turbulence: A quantitative comparison between experiment and direct numerical simulation

L Biferale, E Bodenschatz, M Cencini, AS Lanotte… - Physics of …, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
A detailed comparison between data from experimental measurements and numerical
simulations of Lagrangian velocity structure functions in turbulence is presented …

Reconnection dynamics for quantized vortices

MS Paoletti, ME Fisher, DP Lathrop - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2010 - Elsevier
By analyzing trajectories of solid hydrogen tracers in superfluid 4He, we identify tens of
thousands of individual reconnection events between quantized vortices. We characterize …

Observation of intermittency in wave turbulence

E Falcon, S Fauve, C Laroche - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
We report the observation of intermittency in gravity-capillary wave turbulence on the surface
of mercury. We measure the temporal fluctuations of surface wave amplitude at a given …

Spatio-temporal fluctuations of interscale and interspace energy transfer dynamics in homogeneous turbulence

HS Larssen, JC Vassilicos - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
We study fluctuations of all co-existing energy exchange/transfer/transport processes in
stationary periodic turbulence including those that average to zero and are not present in …

Generation of high‐frequency electric field activity by turbulence in the Earth's magnetotail

JE Stawarz, RE Ergun… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Bursty bulk flow (BBF) events, frequently observed in the magnetotail, carry significant
energy and mass from the tail region at distances that are often greater than 20 RE into the …
