We report on a particle-based numerical study of sheared amorphous solids in the dense slow flow regime. In this framework, deformation and flow are accompanied by critical fluctuation patterns associated with the macroscopic plastic…
Clustering is an important phenomenon in turbulent flows laden with inertial particles. Although this process has been studied extensively, there are still open questions about both the fundamental physics and the reconciliation of…
We study the statistically steady states of the forced dissipative three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence at scales larger than the forcing scale in real separation space. The probability density functions (PDFs) of longitudinal…
We investigate a random--neighbours version of the two dimensional non-conserving earthquake model of Olami, Feder and Christensen [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 68}, 1244 (1992)]. We show both analytically and numerically that criticality can be…
The Olami--Feder--Christensen earthquake model is often considered the prototype dissipative self--organized critical model. It is shown that the size distribution of events in this model results from a complex interplay of several…
It is a common belief that power-law distributed avalanches are inherently unpredictable. This idea affects phenomena as diverse as evolution, earthquakes, superconducting vortices, stock markets, etc; from atomic to social scales. It…
Solar wind is probably the best laboratory to study turbulence in astrophysical plasmas. In addition to the presence of magnetic field, the differences with neutral fluid isotropic turbulence are: weakness of collisional dissipation and…
Turbulence is a fundamental flow phenomenon, typically anisotropic at large scales and approximately isotropic at small scales. The classical Kolmogorov scaling laws (2/3, -5/3 and 4/5) have been well-established for turbulence without…
We study two-dimensional turbulence in a square no-slip domain without bottom drag using direct numerical simulations. The dynamics are shown to depend strongly on the torque $M$ of the external forcing. When $M$ is relatively large, a…
The theory of SOC, and related avalanche dynamics, is proposed as the origin of the ubiquitous nonexponential relaxation observed in complex systems. Introducing some scaling laws and relations we have obtained that the normalized…
We elucidate the universal scaling and multiscaling properties of the nonequilibrium steady states (NESS) in a driven symmetric binary fluid (SBF) mixture in its homogeneous miscible phase in three dimensions (3d). We show, for the first…
The scale-invariant glitch statistics observed in individual pulsars (exponential waiting-time and power-law size distributions) are consistent with a critical self-organization process, wherein superfluid vortices pin metastably in…
We report measurements of global dissipated power within a turbulent flow homogeneously forced at small scale by a new forcing technique. The forcing is random in both time and space within the fluid by using magnetic particles in an…

Turbulent flows preferentially concentrate inertial particles depending on their stopping time or Stokes number, which can lead to significant spatial variations in the particle concentration. Cascade models are one way to describe this…
Inhomogeneities in deposition may lead to formation of rough surfaces, whose height fluctuations can be probed directly by scanning microscopy, or indirectly by scattering. Analytical or numerical treatments of simple growth models suggest…
We develop a new formalism for the study of turbulence using the scale relativity framework (applied in $v$-space according to de Montera's proposal). We first review some of the various ingredients which are at the heart of the scale…
