The macroscopic study of hydrodynamic turbulence is equivalent, at an abstract level, to the microscopic study of a heat flow for a suitable mechanical system. Turbulent fluctuations (intermittency) then correspond to thermal fluctuations,…
The Probability Distribution Function of plasma density fluctuations at the edge of fusion devices is known to be skewed and strongly non-Gaussian. The causes of this peculiar behaviour are, up to now, largely unexplored. On the other hand,…

In this article, we study a Besov regularity estimate of weak solutions to a class of nonlinear elliptic equations in divergence form. The main purpose is to establish Calderon-Zygmund type estimate in Besov spaces with more general…
This work is devoted to the optimal decay problem for the Euler-Poisson two-fluid system, which is a classical hydrodynamic model arising in semiconductor sciences. By exploring the influence of the electronic field on the dissipative…
We give sufficient conditions on the regularity of solutions to the inhomogeneous incompressible Euler and the compressible isentropic Euler systems in order for the energy to be conserved. Our strategy relies on commutator estimates…
Small-scale intermittency is studied as the deviation of the probability distributions of pseudodissipation, dissipation and enstrophy in turbulence from those of a Gaussian random velocity field. This deviation is quantified using…
