This paper reports turbulent boundary layer measurements made over open-cell reticulated foams with varying pore size and thickness, but constant porosity ($\epsilon \approx 0.97$). The foams were flush-mounted into a cutout on a flat…
We study single-phase and particulate turbulent channel flows, bounded by two incompressible hyper-elastic walls. Different wall elasticities are considered with and without a 10% volume fraction of finite-size rigid spherical particles,…
A three-dimensional direct numerical simulation (3D DNS) is performed to describe the turbulent flow in an enclosed rotor-stator cavity characterized by a large aspect ratio $G=(b-a)/h=18.32$ and a small radius ratio $a/b=0.15$ ($a$ and $b$…
Active turbulence in dense active systems is characterized by high vorticity on a length scale that is large compared to that of individual entities. We describe the properties of active turbulence as momentum propagation is screened by…
The dynamical development of collective flow is studied in a (3+1)D fluid dynamical model, with globally symmetric, peripheral initial conditions, which take into account the shear flow caused by the forward motion on the projectile side…
We review the theory of relaxational kinetics of superfluid turbulence--a tangle of quantized vortex lines--in the limit of very low temperatures when the motion of vortices is conservative. While certain important aspects of the decay…
In the comment I develop a critical analysis of the use of the HVBK method for the study of three-dimensional turbulent flows of superfluids. The conception of the vortex bundles forming the structure of quantum turbulence is controversial…
Ocean submesoscales, flows with characteristic size around 10 m - 10 km, are transitional between the larger, rotationally-constrained mesoscale and three-dimensional turbulence. In this paper we present simulations of a submesoscale ocean…

Filamentary regions of high vorticity irregularly form and disappear in the turbulent flows of classical fluids. We report an experimental comparative study of these so-called " coherent structures " in a classical versus quantum fluid,…
We investigate the mechanisms by which inertial solid particles modulate turbulence and alter the fluid mass transport in dense turbulent liquid-solid flows. To this end, we perform Euler-Lagrange simulations at friction Reynolds number…
The linear stability of a stratified shear flow for smooth density profiles is studied. This work focuses on the nature of the stability boundaries of flows in which both Kelvin-Helmholtz and Holmboe instabilities are present. For a fixed…
This paper is the second part of a two-fold study of mixing, i.e. the formation of layers and upwelling of buoyancy, in axially stratified Taylor--Couette flow, with fixed outer cylinder. In a first paper, we showed that the dynamics of the…
Turbulent flows present rich dynamics originating from non-trivial energy fluxes across scales, non-stationary forcings and geometrical constraints. This complexity manifests in non-hyperbolic chaos, randomness, state-dependent persistence…
Particles in pressure-driven channel flow are often inhomogeneously distributed. Two modes of low-Reynolds number instability, absent in Poiseuille flow of clean fluid, are created by inhomogeneous particle loading, and their mechanism is…
In this work, low Reynolds number turbulent flow through a corrugated channel, formed by standard V-groove riblets, are investigated via direct numerical simulations (DNS). The simulations attempt to assess the variation of flow dynamics…
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is well-known in classical hydrodynamics, where it explains the sudden emergence of interfacial surface waves as a function of the velocity of flow parallel to the interface. It can be carried over to the…

Powder snow avalanches are highly dynamic, multiphase gravity-driven flows typically composed of a dense basal layer overlain by airborne layers in which snow particles are suspended within a turbulent air phase. Despite extensive work on…
