Turbulence and large-scale waves in the tropical region are studied using the spherical shallow water equations. With mesoscale vorticity forcing, both moist and dry systems show kinetic energy scaling that is dominated by rotational modes,…
Many engineering and physiological applications deal with situations when a fluid is moving in flexible tubes with elastic walls. In the real-life applications like blood flow, there is often an additional complexity of vorticity being…
The title of the paper coincides with the title of a paragraph in the famous book by U. Frisch (1995)on classical turbulence. In this paragraph the author discussed the role of statistical dynamics of vortex filaments in the theory of…
This paper investigates quantized thin vortex rings with an internal structure. The quantization scheme of this dynamical system is based on an earlier the approach proposed by the author. Both energy spectrum and circulation spectrum are…
The inverse cascade in two-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence exhibits a mysterious phenomenon. Numerical simulations have shown that the nodal isolines of certain scalars actively transported in the flow (eg, the vorticity in…

We simulate the electrical response of multiple disjoint biological 3D cells undergoing an electropermeabilization process. Instead of solving the boundary value problem in the unbounded volume, we reduce it to a system of boundary…
We analyse numerically a pinch-type instability in a semi-infinite planar layer of inviscid conducting liquid bounded by solid walls and carrying a uniform electric current. Our model is as simple as possible but still captures the salient…

Dynamic properties of elasto-inertial turbulence (EIT) are studied in a Taylor-Couette geometry. EIT is a chaotic flow state that develops upon both non-negligible inertia and viscoelasticity. A combination of direct flow visualisation and…

A three dimensional string model is analyzed in the strong coupling regime. The contribution of surfaces with different topology to the partition function is essential. A set of corresponding models is discovered. Their critical indices,…
I discuss particle content of the Ising field theory (the scaling limit of the Ising model in a magnetic field), in particular the evolution of its mass spectrum under the change of the scaling parameter. I consider both real and pure…
The matrix product structure is considered on a regular lattice in the hyperbolic plane. The phase transition of the Ising model is observed on the hyperbolic $(5, 4)$ lattice by means of the corner-transfer-matrix renormalization group…
We investigate the influence of elastic turbulence on mixing of a scalar concentration field within a viscoelastic fluid in a two-dimensional Taylor-Couette geometry using numerical solutions of the Oldroyd-B model. The flow state is…
A nonlinear two dimensional fluid model of whistler turbulence is developed that nonlinearly couples wave magnetic field with electron density perturbations. This coupling leads essentially to finite compressibility effects in whistler…

We study the dynamics of the Taylor-Couette flow of shear banding wormlike micelles. We focus on the high shear rate branch of the flow curve and show that for sufficiently high Weissenberg numbers, this branch becomes unstable. This…
We present a status report on a discrete approach to the the near-equilibrium statistical theory of three-dimensional turbulence, which generalizes earlier work by no longer requiring that the vorticity field be a union of discrete vortex…
