The gas clouds of the interstellar medium have a fractal structure, the origin of which has generally been thought to lie in turbulence. The energy of turbulence could come from galactic rotation at large-scale, then cascade down to be…
There is a growing interest in the relation between classical turbulence and quantum turbulence. Classical turbulence arises from complicated dynamics of eddies in a classical fluid. In contrast, quantum turbulence consists of a tangle of…
In recent works, we proposed a hypothesis that the turbulence in gases could be produced by particles interacting via a potential, and examined the proposed mechanics of turbulence formation in a simple model of two particles for a variety…
