Inter-scale kinetic energy transfer in turbulent flows is accompanied by very intense and intermittent spatial-temporal fluctuations. Such intermittency is expected to be particularly prominent in premixed flames, where heat release,…

The nonlinear magnetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHi), and the turbulence it creates, appears in many astrophysical systems. This includes those systems where the local plasma conditions are such that the plasma is not fully ionised,…
The intracluster medium (ICM) is stably stratified in the hydrodynamic sense with the entropy $s$ increasing outwards. However, thermal conduction along magnetic field lines fundamentally changes the stability of the ICM, leading to the…
