We prove the absence of anomalous dissipation for passive scalars driven by some random autonomous divergence-free vector fields in $\mathbb T^d$. In dimension $d=2$ we just need continuity almost surely and a mild nondegeneracy condition…
Travelling-wave solutions of the inviscid Burgers equation having smooth initial wave profiles of suitable shapes are known to develop shocks (infinite gradients) in finite times. Such singular solutions are characterized by energy spectra…
We develop a timescale synthesis-based probabilistic approach for the modeling of locally stationary signals. Inspired by our previous work, the model involves zero-mean, complex Gaussian wavelet coefficients, whose distribution varies as a…
This work deals with the computation of the power spectrum of large-scale structure using the dynamical system approach for a multi-fluid universe in scalar-tensor theory of gravity. We use the $1+3$ covariant approach to obtain evolution…
We report the quantitative experimental observation of the weak inertial-wave turbulence regime of rotating turbulence. We produce a statistically steady homogeneous turbulent flow that consists of nonlinearly interacting inertial waves,…
Experimental results for passive tracer dispersion in the turbulent surface layer under stable conditions are presented. In this case, the dispersion of tracer particles is determined by the interplay of three mechanisms: relative…
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…
The study of passive scalar transport in a turbulent velocity field leads naturally to the notion of generalized flows which are families of probability distributions on the space of solutions to the associated ODEs, which no longer satisfy…
We study the dual cascade scenario for two-dimensional turbulence driven by a spectrally localized forcing applied over a finite wavenumber range $[k_\min,k_\max]$ (with $k_\min > 0$) such that the respective energy and enstrophy injection…
In this paper, we derive several new sufficient conditions of non-breakdown of strong solutions for for both the 3D heat-conducting compressible Navier-Stokes system and nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. First, it is…
We study the statistical correlation functions for the three-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence onset when the dynamics is dominated by the pancake-like high-vorticity structures. With extensive numerical simulations, we systematically…
Gravitational waves (GWs) generated by a first-order phase transition at the electroweak scale are detectable by future space-based detectors like LISA. The lifetime of the resulting shock waves plays an important role in determining the…
We study the effects of Prandtl number $Pr$ and Rayleigh number $Ra$ in two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection without boundaries, i.e. with periodic boundary conditions. In the limits of $Pr \to 0$ and $\infty$, we find that the…
The stride interval time series in normal human gait is not strictly constant, but fluctuates from step to step in a complex manner. More precisely, it has been shown that the control process for human gait is a fractal random phenomenon,…
In this note we revisit the classical subject of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in presence of an incompressible background shear flow. We derive a formula for the essential spectral radius of the evolution group generated by the…
The scaling argument developed by Larichev and Held (1995) for eddy amplitudes and fluxes in a horizontally homogeneous, two-layer model on an f-plane is extended to a beta-plane. In terms of the non-dimensional number x =…
Building on the recent work of C. De Lellis and L. Sz\'{e}kelyhidi, we construct global weak solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations which are zero outside of a finite time interval and have velocity in the…
We describe the structure and dynamics of turbulence by the scale-dependent perceived velocity gradient tensor as supported by following four tracers, i.e. fluid particles, that initially form a regular tetrahedron. We report results from…
The scaling ansatz of Hamilton et al. effectively extends the idea of self-similar scaling to initial power spectra of any generic shape. Applications of this ansatz have provided a semi-empirical analytical description of gravitational…
We demonstrate the utility of the bispectrum, the Fourier three-point correlation function, for studying driving scales of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the interstellar medium. We calculate the bispectrum by implementing a…
