We present an experimental investigation of intense turbulence generated by a class of low-blockage space-filling fractal square grids. We confirm the existence of a protacted production region followed by a decaying region, as first…
Direct numerical simulations are used to investigate the individual dynamics of large spherical particles suspended in a developed homogeneous turbulent flow. A definition of the direction of the particle motion relative to the surrounding…
We study streamwise turbulence intensity definitions using smooth- and rough-wall pipe flow measurements made in the Princeton Superpipe. Scaling of turbulence intensity with the bulk (and friction) Reynolds number is provided for the…
The familiar process of bubbles generated via breaking waves in the ocean is foundational to many natural and industrial applications. In this process, large pockets of entrained gas are successively fragmented by the ambient turbulence…
Cooling flows, cluster mergers and motions of galaxies through the cluster gas with supersonic and sonic velocities must lead to large scale motions of the intracluster medium (ICM). A high-resolution numerical simulation of X-ray cluster…
According to the $\Lambda CDM$ cosmological framework, galaxies underwent multiple mergers in their history. In this paper we propose to use the power spectrum of the residual fluctuations of the rotation curve velocity as a probe of past…
Turbulence has strong and seemingly random fluctuations. Assessing its repeatability is key to predicting flows in technology and nature, much of which decay as viscosity dissipates energy. Much has been done to this end since the work of…
This work reports an experimental characterisation of the flow properties in a homogeneous bubble swarm rising at high-Reynolds-numbers within a homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow. Both the gas volume fraction {\alpha} and the…
Building upon the intrinsic properties of Navier-Stokes dynamics, namely the prevalence of intense vortical structures and the interrelationship between vorticity and strain rate, we propose a simple framework to quantify the extreme events…
We perform direct numerical simulations of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the early universe and numerically compute the resulting stochastic background of gravitational waves and relic magnetic fields. These simulations do not make the…
This study explores experimentally the turbulent flow in a laboratory flume, interacting with waves propagated against the flow. It focuses a region of wave-blocking for which there is a streamwise location on the water surface, where the…
The modeling of turbulence, whether it be numerical or analytical, is a difficult challenge. Turbulence is amenable to analysis with linear theory if it is subject to rapid distortions, i.e., motions occurring on a time scale that is short…
A model-based description of the scaling and radial location of turbulent fluctuations in turbulent pipe flow is presented and used to illuminate the scaling behaviour of the very large scale motions. The model is derived by treating the…
We use the mapping between Burgers' equation and the problem of a directed polymer in a random medium in order to study the fully developped turbulence in the $N$ dimensional forced Burgers' equation. The stirring force corresponds to a…
Turbulence is a key element of the dynamics of astrophysical fluids, including those of interstellar medium, clusters of galaxies and circumstellar regions. Turbulent motions induce Doppler shifts of observable emission and absorption lines…
In recent works, we proposed a hypothesis, according to which turbulence in gases is created by the mean field effect of an intermolecular potential. We discovered that, in a numerically simulated inertial flow, turbulent solutions indeed…
