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 …

On the spectrum of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

S Boldyrev - The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a phenomenological model for incompressible magnetohydrodynamic
turbulence. We argue that nonlinear-wave interaction weakens as the energy cascade …
