Threshold amplitude of disturbance for transition to turbulence in a pipe Poiseuille flow is investigated. Based on the energy gradient theory, we argued that the transition to turbulence depends on magnitudes of the energy gradient of mean…
In three-dimensional turbulent flows, the flux of energy from large to small scales breaks time symmetry. We show here that this irreversibility can be quantified by following the relative motion of several Lagrangian tracers. We find by…

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…

Many questions remain in turbulence research---and related fields---about the underlying physical processes that transfer scalar quantities, such as the kinetic energy, between different length scales. Measurement of an ensemble-averaged…
The cascade of energy in turbulent flows, i.e., the transfer of kinetic energy from large to small flow scales or vice versa (backward cascade), is the cornerstone of most theories and models of turbulence since the 1940s. Yet,…
In elastic-wave turbulence, strong turbulence appears in small wave numbers while weak turbulence does in large wave numbers. Energy transfers in the coexistence of these turbulent states are numerically investigated in both of the Fourier…

In helical turbulence a linear cascade of helicity accompanying the energy cascade has been suggested. Since energy and helicity have different dimensionality we suggest the existence of a characteristic inner scale, $\xi=k_H^{-1}$, for…
