We propose a simple stochastic model of cascading transport in wave number space to clarify the origin of intermittent behavior of fully-developed fluid turbulence. In spite of lack of nonlinearity and viscosity the model gives non-Gaussian…

Turbulent flows are out-of-equilibrium because the energy supply at large scales and its dissipation by viscosity at small scales create a net transfer of energy among all scales. Here, the energy cascade is approximated by a combined…

Turbulence cascade has been modeled using various methods; the one we have used applies to a more exact representation of turbulence where people use the multifractal representation. The nature of the energy dissipation is usually governed…

Turbulence is a chaotic flow regime filled by irregular flows. The dissipation of turbulence is a fundamental problem in the realm of physics. Theoretically, dissipation cannot be ultimately achieved without collisions, and so how turbulent…
