The cascade of energy in turbulent flows, i.e., the transfer of kinetic energy from large to small flow scales or vice versa (backward cascade), is the cornerstone of most theories and models of turbulence since the 1940s. Yet,…
Turbulence is ubiquitous in plasmas, leading to rich dynamics characterized by irregularity, irreversibility, energy fluctuations across many scales, and energy transfer across many scales. Another fundamental and generic feature of…

Turbulence is one of the most prototypical phenomena of systems driven out of equilibrium. While turbulence has been studied mainly with classical fluids like water, considerable attention is now drawn to quantum turbulence (QT), observed…

We report a numerical study, supplemented by phenomenological explanations, of ``energy condensation'' in forced 2D turbulence in a biperiodic box. Condensation is a finite size effect which occurs after the standard inverse cascade reaches…
