The way in which kinetic energy is distributed over the multiplicity of inertial (intermediate) scales is a fundamental feature of turbulence. According to Kolmogorov's 1941 theory, on the basis of a dimensional analysis, the form of the…

We study the long-time evolution of waves of a thin elastic plate in the limit of small deformation so that modes of oscillations interact weakly. According to the theory of weak turbulence a nonlinear wave system evolves in long-time…
The Kolmogorov flow provides an ideal instance of a virtual channel flow: It has no boundaries, but nevertheless it possesses well defined mean flow in each half-wavelength. We exploit this remarkable feature for the purpose of…
It is believed that the two-dimensional (2D) Anderson model exhibits localization for any nonzero disorder in the thermodynamic limit and it is also well known that the finite-size effects are considerable in the weak disorder limit. Here…

We show that for any finite-dimensional quantum systems the conserved quantities can be characterized by their robustness to small perturbations: for fragile symmetries small perturbations can lead to large deviations over long times, while…
Active matter, composed of self-propelled entities, forms a wide class of out-of-equilibrium systems that display striking collective behaviors among which the so-called active turbulence where spatially and time disordered flow patterns…
We study wave turbulence in systems with two special properties: a large number of fields (large $N$) and a nonlinear interaction that is strongly local in momentum space. The first property allows us to find the kinetic equation at all…
We study Kolmogorov flow on a three dimensional, periodic domain with aspect ratios fixed to unity. Using an energy method, we give a concise proof of the linear stability of the laminar flow profile. Since turbulent motion is observed for…
Suspended particles can significantly alter the fluid properties and, in particular, can modify the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. We investigate the effect of heavy particle suspensions on the linear stability of the Kolmogorov…
