We examine the effectiveness of the Generalised Quasilinear (GQL) Approximation introduced by Marston et al (2016). This approximation splits the variables into large and small scales in directions where there is a translational symmetry…
Continuing from Part 1 (Hern\'andez \emph{et al.}, \emph{arXiv:2108.12395}, 2021), a generalized quasilinear (GQL) approximation is studied in turbulent channel flow using a flow decomposition defined with spanwise Fourier modes: the flow…
We discuss the applicability of quasilinear-type approximations for a turbulent system with a large range of spatial and temporal scales. We consider a paradigm fluid system of rotating convection with a vertical and horizontal temperature…
In this paper we examine the interaction of convection, rotation and mean flows in a thermal annulus. In this system mean flows are driven by correlations induced by rotation leading to non-trivial Reynolds stresses. The mean flows act back…

In recent years, the Generalised Quasilinear (GQL) approximation has been developed and its efficacy tested against purely quasilinear (QL) approximations. GQL systematically interpolates between QL and fully non-linear dynamics by…

The theory of Gaussian quantum fluctuations around classical steady states in nonlinear quantum-optical systems (also known as standard linearization) is a cornerstone for the analysis of such systems. Its simplicity, together with its…
Zonal jets are striking and beautiful examples of the propensity for geophysical turbulent flows to spontaneously self-organize into robust, large scale coherent structures. There exist many dynamical mechanisms for the formation of zonal…
The self-organization of turbulence into regular zonal flows can be fruitfully investigated with quasilinear methods and statistical descriptions. A wave kinetic equation that assumes asymptotically large-scale zonal flows is pathological.…
