We consider the two-dimensional (2D) flow in a flat free-slip surface that bounds a three-dimensional (3D) volume in which the flow is turbulent. The equations of motion for the two-dimensional flow in the surface are neither compressible…
In 1959, Batchelor gave a prediction for the power spectral density of a passive scalar advected by an incompressible fluid exhibiting shear-straining, a mechanism for the creation of small scales in the scalar [Bat59]. Recently, a…
We consider a system of q diffusing particle species A_1,A_2,...,A_q that are all equivalent under a symmetry operation. Pairs of particles may annihilate according to A_i + A_j -> 0 with reaction rates k_{ij} that respect the symmetry, and…
The chaotic diffusion for a family of Hamiltonian mappings whose angles diverge in the limit of vanishingly action is investigated by using the solution of the diffusion equation. The system is described by a two-dimensional mapping for the…
This paper studies the scale and redshift variation of density and velocity distributions in self-gravitating collisionless dark matter flow by a halo-based non-projection approach. All particles are divided into halo and out-of-halo…
Particles floating on the surface of a turbulent incompressible fluid accumulate along string-like structures, while leaving large regions of the flow domain empty. This is reflected experimentally by a very peaked probability distribution…
The problem of parameterizing the interactions of larger scales and smaller scales in fluid flows is addressed by considering a property of two-dimensional incompressible turbulence. The property we consider is selective decay, in which a…
Historically it has been believed that a time-independent classical source has no effect on the scattering of relativistic uncharged field, in contrast with single particle quantum mechanics. In this work we show that the dynamics is not…
We consider the persistence phenomenon in advectecd passive scalar equation in 1-dimension. The velocity field is random with the $<v(k,\omega)v(-k,-\omega) > \sim |k|^{-(2+\alpha)}$. In presence of the non-linearity the complete Green's…
We introduce a shell (``GOY'') model for turbulent binary fluids. The variation in the concentration between the two fluids acts as an active scalar leading to a redefined conservation law for the energy, which is incorporated into the…
Results are presented for the phase separation process of a binary mixture subject to an uniform shear flow quenched from a disordered to a homogeneous ordered phase. The kinetics of the process is described in the context of the…
We demonstrate the existence of a universal transition from a continuous scale invariant phase to a discrete scale invariant phase for a class of one-dimensional quantum systems with anisotropic scaling symmetry between space and time.…
The diffusion of a particle in a crowded environment typically proceeds through three regimes: for very short times the particle diffuses freely until it collides with an obstacle for the first time, while for very long times diffusion the…
We discuss some perturbative techniques suitable for the gauge-invariant treatment of the scalar and tensor inhomogeneities of an anisotropic and homogeneous background geometry whose spatial section naturally decomposes into the direct…
We consider turbulent advection of a scalar field $T(\B.r)$, passive or active, and focus on the statistics of gradient fields conditioned on scalar differences $\Delta T(R)$ across a scale $R$. In particular we focus on two conditional…
We consider a wave equation with a nonlocal logarithmic damping depending on a small parameter $\theta \in (0,1/2)$. This research is a counter part of that was initiated by Charao-D'Abbicco-Ikehata considered in [5] for the large parameter…
This work is devoted to examining qualitative properties of dynamic systems, in particular, limit cycles of stochastic differential equations with both rapid switching and small diffusion. The systems are featured by multi-scale…
Discrete scale invariance, which corresponds to a partial breaking of the scaling symmetry, is reflected in the existence of a hierarchy of characteristic scales l0, c l0, c^2 l0,... where c is a preferred scaling ratio and l0 a microscopic…
A dynamical transition separating intermittent and continuous flow is observed in a sandpile model, with scaling functions relating the transport behaviors between both regimes. The width of the active zone diverges with system size in the…
Maxima of the scalar dissipation rate in turbulence appear in form of sheets and correspond to the potentially most intensive scalar mixing events. Their cross-section extension determines a locally varying diffusion scale of the mixing…
