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…

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…

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,…
