Despite the nonlinear nature of wall turbulence, there is evidence that the energy-injection mechanisms sustaining wall turbulence can be ascribed to linear processes. The different scenarios stem from linear stability theory and comprise…
We introduce a stochastic version of Proudman-Taylor model, a 2D-3C fluid approximation of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations, with the small-scale turbulence modeled by a transport-stretching noise. For this model we may rigorously take a…

Transition to turbulence is due to the instability of a laminar flow subject to a disturbance. This complicated problem can be explained using a new proposed energy gradient theory in our previous study. This theory is extended to the…
