Turbulence has strong and seemingly random fluctuations. Assessing its repeatability is key to predicting flows in technology and nature, much of which decay as viscosity dissipates energy. Much has been done to this end since the work of…

Energy transfers from larger to smaller scales in turbulence. This energy cascade is a process of the creation of smaller-scale coherent vortices by larger ones. In our recent study (Yoneda, Goto and Tsuruhashi 2021), we reformulated the…
