Fluid flows between rotating concentric cylinders exhibit two distinct routes to turbulence. In flows dominated by inner-cylinder rotation, a sequence of linear instabilities leads to temporally chaotic dynamics as the rotation speed is…
The macroscopic study of hydrodynamic turbulence is equivalent, at an abstract level, to the microscopic study of a heat flow for a suitable mechanical system. Turbulent fluctuations (intermittency) then correspond to thermal fluctuations,…
We study the decay of high-Reynolds number Taylor-Couette turbulence, i.e. the turbulent flow between two coaxial rotating cylinders. To do so, the rotation of the inner cylinder (Re$_i=2 \times 10^6$, the outer cylinder is at rest) is…
The Reynolds transport theorem for the rate of change of an integral over an evolving domain is generalized. For a manifold $B$, a differentiable motion $m$ of $B$ in the manifold $\mathcal{S}$, an $r$-current $T$ in $B$, and the sequence…
In Causal Perturbation Theory the process of renormalization is precisely equivalent to the extension of time ordered distributions to coincident points. This is achieved by a modified Taylor subtraction on the corresponding test functions.…
Using the reflection formula of the Gamma function, we derive a new formula for the Taylor coefficients of the reciprocal Gamma function. The new formula provides effective asymptotic values for the coefficients even for very small values…
In the present work we investigate the multiscale dynamics of enstrophy in homogeneous isotropic turbulence by exploiting the two-point formalism provided by the K\'arm\'an-Howarth-Monin-Hill approach. The study is conducted on direct…
Sommerfeld paradox (turbulence paradox) roughly says that mathematically the Couette linear shear flow is linearly stable for all values of the Reynolds number, but experimentally transition from the linear shear to turbulence occurs under…
We give arguments for the existence of {\it exact} travelling-wave (in particular solitonic) solutions of a perturbed sine-Gordon equation on the real line or on the circle, and classify them. The perturbation of the equation consists of a…
We numerically investigate Taylor-Couette flow in a wide-gap configuration, with $r_i/r_o=1/2$, the inner cylinder rotating, and the outer cylinder stationary. The fluid is taken to be electrically conducting, and a magnetic field of the…
Writing the Poisson equation for the pressure in the vorticity-strain form, we show that the pressure has a finite inertial range spectrum for high Reynolds number isotropic turbulence only if the anomalous scaling exponents $\mu$ and…
We adapt the formalism of the statistical theory of 2D turbulence in the case where the Casimir constraints are replaced by the specification of a prior vorticity distribution. A phenomenological relaxation equation is obtained for the…
We extended our formulation of causal dissipative hydrodynamics [T. Koide \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. \textbf{C75}, 034909 (2007)] to be applicable to the ultra-relativistic regime by considering the extensiveness of irreversible currents.…
The Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation (TUR) is a lower bound for the variance of a current as a function of the average entropy production and average current. Depending on the assumptions, one obtains different versions of the TUR. For…
We consider the Lagrangian formulation with duplicated variables of dissipative mechanical systems. The application of Noether theorem leads to physical observable quantities which are not conserved, like energy and angular momentum, and…
This paper presents a parameter-free theory of shear-generated turbulence at asymptotically high Reynolds numbers in incompressible fluids. It is based on a two-fluids concept. Both components are materially identical and inviscid. The…
The onset of turbulence in laminar flow of viscous fluids is shown to be a consequence of the limited capacity of the fluid to withstand shear stress. This fact is exploited to predict the flow velocity at which laminar flow becomes…
We investigate the turbulence below a quasi-flat free surface, focusing on the energy transport in space and across scales. We leverage a large zero-mean-flow tank where homogeneous turbulence is generated by randomly actuated jets. A wide…
Using the derivative expansion applied to the Wigner transform of the two - point Green function this is possible to derive the response of various nondissipative currents to the external gauge fields. The corresponding currents are…
Motivated by the Lagrange top coupled to an oscillator, we consider the quasi-periodic Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation. To this end, we develop the normal linear stability theory of an invariant torus with a generic (i.e., non-semisimple)…
