A recent Letter by Oberlack et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 024502 (2022)] claims to have derived new symmetry-induced solutions of the non-modelled statistical Navier-Stokes equations of turbulent channel flow. A high accuracy match to DNS…
A coarse-grained particle model for incompressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equation is proposed based on spatial filtering by utilizing smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approximations. This model is similar to our previous developed SPH…

Experiments (Mullin and Kreswell, 2005) show that transition to turbulence can start at Reynolds numbers lower than it is predicted by the linear stability analysis - the subcritical transition to turbulence. To explain these observations…
We investigate the Navier-Stokes turbulence driven by a stochastic random Gaussian force. Using a field-theoretic approach, we uncover an anomaly that brings hidden structure to the theory. The anomaly is generated by a non-self-adjoint…

In this work, we present three important theorems related to the corrected Smagorinsky model for turbulence in time-dependent domains. The first theorem establishes an improved regularity criterion for the solution of the corrected…
This note studies the mechanism of turbulent energy cascade through an opportune bifurcations analysis of the Navier--Stokes equations, and furnishes explanations on the more significant characteristics of the turbulence. A statistical…
New aspects of turbulence are uncovered if one considers flow motion from the perspective of a fluid particle (known as the Lagrangian approach) rather than in terms of a velocity field (the Eulerian viewpoint). Using a new experimental…
Mathematical estimates for the Navier-Stokes equations are traditionally expressed in terms of the Grashof number, which is a dimensionless measure of the magnitude of the forcing and hence a control parameter of the system. However,…
The kinetic theory of gases has suggested the idea of viscosity to model the effect of thermal fluctuations on the resolved flow. Supported by the assumed analogy between molecules and the eddies in a turbulent flows, the idea of an eddy…
Experimental and numerical studies of incompressible turbulence suggest that the mean dissipation rate of kinetic energy remains constant as the Reynolds number tends to infinity (or the non-dimensional viscosity tends to zero). This…
Turbulence remains one of the central open problems in classical physics, largely due to the absence of a closed dynamical description of the Reynolds stress. Existing approaches typically rely either on local constitutive assumptions or on…
We introduce a class of stochastic advection problems amenable to analysis of turbulent transport. The statistics of the flow field are represented as a continuous time Markov process, a choice that captures the intuitive notion of…
In this work we introduce a well-posed mathematical model for the processes involved in the artificial circulation of water, in order to avoid eutrophication phenomena, for instance, in a lake. This novel and general formulation is based on…
We inquire the statistical properties of the pair formed by the Navier-Stokes equation for an incompressible velocity field and the advection-diffusion equation for a scalar field transported in the same flow in two dimensions (2d). The…
We introduce a simplified model for wave turbulence theory -- the Wick NLS, of which the main feature is the absence of all self-interactions in the correlation expansions of its solutions. For this model, we derive several wave kinetic…
