We study the energy transfer properties of three dimensional homogeneous and isotropic turbulence where the non-linear transfer is altered in a way that helicity is made sign-definite, say positive. In this framework, known as homochiral…

A two-dimensional fluid, stirred at high wavenumbers and damped by both viscosity and linear friction, is modeled by a statistical field theory. The fluid's long-distance behavior is studied using renormalization-group (RG) methods, as…
We propose a modified XY model in which cascade transfer emerges from spatially local interactions, where the spin corresponds to the "velocity" of a turbulent field. For this model, we theoretically calculate the scale-to-scale energy flux…
This experimental study analyzes the relationship between the dimensionality of turbulence and the upscale or downscale nature of its energy transfers. We do so by forcing low-$Rm$ magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in a confined channel,…
