The turbulence field is stacked on the laminar flow. In this research, the laminar flow is described as a macro deformation which forms an instant curvature space. On such a curvature space, the turbulence is viewed as a micro deformation.…

Rotation modulates turbulence causing columnar structuring of a turbulent flow in case of sufficiently strong rotation. This yields significant changes in the flow characteristics and dispersion properties, which makes rotational turbulence…

We study the turbulent flow of the density-stratified fluid around a small translating (either passively or self-propelled) particle. It was found recently [A. M. Ardekani and R. Stocker, Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 105, 084502 (2010)] that…

The essence of turbulent flow is the conveyance of energy through the formation, interaction, and destruction of eddies over a wide range of spatial scales--from the largest scales where energy is injected, down to the smallest scales where…
