When a fluid is constrained to a fixed, finite volume, the conditions for liquid-vapor equilibrium are different from the infinite volume or constant pressure cases. There is even a range of densities for which no bubble can form, and the…
A model to explain the statistics of the velocity gradients in the dissipation range of a turbulent flow is presented. The experimentally observed non-gaussian statistics is theoretically predicted by means of a thermodynamical analogy…

In the turbulent boundary layer above a flat plate, the velocity profile is known to have the form v=v_0[(1/\kappa) ln z + constant]. The distance from the wall in dimensionless units is z and v_0 is an uniquely defined velocity scale. The…
In the full-orbit particle simulations of energetic particle transport in plasmas, the plasma turbulence is typically described as a homogeneous superposition of linear Fourier modes. The turbulence evolution is, however, typically a…
Standard eddy viscosity models, while robust, cannot represent backscatter and have severe difficulties with complex turbulence not at statistical equilibrium. This report gives a new derivation of eddy viscosity models from an equation for…
Kappa distributions are ubiquitous in space and astrophysical poorly collisional plasmas, such as the solar wind, suggesting that microscopic and macroscopic properties of these non-equilibrium plasmas are highly conditioned by the…
One of the fundamental differences of compressible fluid flows from incompressible fluid flows is the involvement of thermodynamics. This difference should be manifested in the design of numerical methods and seems often be neglected in…
