In this work, we prove a comparison result for a general class of nonlinear dispersive unidirectional wave equations. The dispersive nature of one-dimensional waves occurs because of a convolution integral in space. For two specific choices…

Turbulence models, such as the Smagorinsky model herein, are used to represent the energy lost from resolved to under-resolved scales due to the energy cascade (i.e. non-linearity). Analytic estimates of the energy dissipation rates of a…
Low-frequency molecular fluctuations in the translational nonequilibrium zone of one-dimensional strong shock waves are characterised for the first time in a kinetic collisional framework in the Mach number range $2\le M\le 10$. Our…

The statistical properties of a large number of weakly nonlinear waves can be described in the framework of the Weak Turbulence Theory. The theory is based on the hypothesis of an asymptotically large system. In experiments, the systems…
Weakly nonlinear internal wave-wave interaction is a key mechanism that cascades energy from large to small scales, leading to ocean turbulence and mixing. Oceans typically have a non-uniform density stratification profile; moreover,…

It has recently been proposed (Loureiro & Boldyrev 2017; Mallet et al. 2017) that the inertial interval in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is terminated at small scales not by a Kolmogorov-like dissipation region, but rather by a new…
To date it has not been possible to prove whether or not the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations develop singular behaviour in finite time. Some possible singular scenarios, as for instance shock-waves, are very important from…
