Physical systems that dissipate, mix and develop turbulence also irreversibly transport statistical density. In statistical physics, laws for these processes have a mathematical form and tractability that depends on whether the description…
We consider the statistical description of steady state fully developed incompressible fluid turbulence at the inertial range of scales in any number of spatial dimensions. We show that turbulence statistics is scale but not conformally…
When very small particles are suspended in a fluid in motion, they tend to follow the flow. How such tracer particles are mixed, transported, and dispersed by turbulent flow has been successfully described by statistical models. Heavy…

The majority of practical flows, particularly those flows in applications of importance to transport, distribution and climate, are turbulent and as a result experience complex three-dimensional motion with increased drag compared with the…

The classical statistics of turbulence are shown to be not specific to turbulence and can be derived from a solution for recurring unsteady state viscous flow. Care must be exercised in using them to make deductions about turbulence…

This paper extends the resolvent formalism for wall turbulence proposed by McKeon and Sharma(2010) to account for the effect of streamwise-constant riblets. Under the resolvent formulation, the Navier-Stokes equations are interpreted as a…
