The properties of rotating turbulence driven by precession are studied using direct numerical simulations and analysis of the underlying dynamical processes in Fourier space. The study is carried out in the local rotating coordinate frame,…
Turbulence problem is often considered as "the last unsolved problem of classical physics". It is due to strong interaction between velocity and/or velocity gradient fluctuations, a high Reynolds number flow is a fascinating mixture of…

The problem of a viscous flow past a submerged source starting from rest and moving with a constant velocity, below and parallel to a free surface is examined. Asymptotic expressions for long-time evolution of free-surface elevation are…
An inverse cascade - energy transfer to progressively larger scales - is a salient feature of two-dimensional turbulence. If the cascade reaches the system scale, it creates a coherent flow expected to have the largest available scale and…

Turbulence is ubiquitous in nonequilibrium systems, and it has been noted that even dense granular flows exhibit characteristics that are typical of turbulent flow, such as the power-law energy spectrum. However, studies on the…
Buoyancy-driven turbulent convection leads to a fully compressible flow with a strong top-down asymmetry of first- and second-order statistics when the adiabatic equilibrium profiles of temperature, density and pressure decay very strongly…

Though highly impacting our lives, rotating turbulent flows are not well understood. These anisotropic three-dimensional disordered flows are governed by different nonlinear processes, each of which can be dominant in a different range of…
In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of two layers of immiscible, inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational fluids through a full nonlinear system. Our goal is to establish a virial theorem and prove the polynomial growth of slope and…
The ocean and the atmosphere, and hence the climate, are governed at large scale by interactions between pressure gradient, Coriolis and buoyancy forces. This leads to a quasi-geostrophic balance in which, in a two-dimensional-like fashion,…
In this note we investigate the asymptotic behavior of plane shear thickening fluids around a bounded obstacle. Different from the Navier-Stokes case considered by Gilbarg-Weinberger in \cite{GW1978}, where the good structure of the…
This study investigates the asymptotic behavior of the steady-state quasi-Newtonian Stokesflow with viscosity given by the Carreau law within a thin domain, focusing on the effects of a slightly rough boundary of the domain. Employing…

We address the experimentally observed non-Gaussian fluctuations for the energy injected into a closed turbulent flow at fixed Reynolds number. We propose that the power fluctuations mirror the internal kinetic energy fluctuations. Using a…
We consider the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional exterior domain, with no-slip boundary conditions. We assume that the initial velocity is a finite-energy and L^q-summable perturbation of the Oseen vortex with…
Some dynamical properties present in a problem concerning the acceleration of particles in a wave packet are studied. The dynamics of the model is described in terms of a two-dimensional area preserving map. We show that the phase space is…
