Numerous prior studies have shown that as proton beta increases, a narrower range of proton temperature anisotropy values is observed. This effect has often been ascribed to the actions of kinetic microinstabilities because the distribution…

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…

The internal interactions of fluids occur at all scales therefore the resulting force fields have no reason to be smooth and differentiable. The release of the differentiability hypothesis has important mathematical consequences, like scale…

An analytic perturbation theory is suggested in order to find finite-size corrections to the scaling power laws. In the frame of this theory it is shown that the first order finite-size correction to the scaling power laws has following…

The transfer of turbulent energy through an inertial range from the driving scale to dissipative scales in a kinetic plasma followed by the conversion of this energy into heat is a fundamental plasma physics process. A theoretical…

By means of three dimensional high-resolution hybrid simulations we study the properties of the magnetic field spectral anisotropies near and beyond ion kinetic scales. By using both a Fourier analysis and a local analysis based on…

We present results from an ensemble of 50 runs of two-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence with spatial resolution of 2048^2 grid points, and from an ensemble of 10 runs with 4096^2 grid points. All runs in each ensemble have random initial…

We consider two-dimensional flows above topography, revisiting the selective decay (or minimum-enstrophy) hypothesis of Bretherton and Haidvogel. We derive a 'condensed branch' of solutions to the variational problem where a domain-scale…

We use a coarse-graining approach to prove that inter-scale transfer of kinetic energy in compressible turbulence is dominated by local interactions. Locality here means that interactions between disparate scales decay at least as fast as a…

To explain energy dissipation via turbulence in collisionless, magnetized plasmas, the existence of a dual real- and velocity-space cascade of ion-entropy fluctuations below the ion gyroradius has been proposed. Such a dual cascade,…

We derive some of the axioms of the algebraic theory of anyon [A. Kitaev, Ann. Phys., 321, 2 (2006)] from a conjectured form of entanglement area law for two-dimensional gapped systems. We derive the fusion rules of topological charges and…

The previously reported non-equilibrium dissipation law is investigated in turbulent flows generated by various regular and fractal square grids. The flows are documented in terms of various turbulent profiles which reveal their…

This paper continues the systematic investigation of diffusive shear instabilities initiated in Part I of this series. In this work, we primarily focus on quantifying the impact of non-local mixing, which is not taken into account in Zahn's…

In a weakly collisional, low-electron-beta plasma, large-scale Alfv\'en turbulence transforms into inertial kinetic-Alfv\'en turbulence at scales smaller than the ion microscale (gyroscale or inertial scale). We propose that at such kinetic…
