In this paper we study a well-known three--dimensional turbulence model, the filtered Clark model, or Clark-alpha model. This is Large Eddy Simulation (LES) tensor-diffusivity model of turbulent flows with an additional spatial filter of…
The way in which kinetic energy is distributed over the multiplicity of inertial (intermediate) scales is a fundamental feature of turbulence. According to Kolmogorov's 1941 theory, on the basis of a dimensional analysis, the form of the…
We extend the standard two-scale theory of the turbulent dynamo coefficient $\alpha$ to include the nonlinear back reaction of the mean field $\bar B$ on the turbulence. We calculate the turbulent emf as a power series in $\bar B$, assuming…
Alfv\'enic-type turbulence in strongly magnetized, low-beta pair plasmas is investigated. A coupled set of equations for the evolution of the magnetic and flow potentials are derived, covering both fluid and kinetic scales. In the fluid…
We investigate the transport coefficients $\alpha$ and $\beta$ in plasma systems with varying Reynolds numbers while maintaining a unit magnetic Prandtl number. {The $\alpha$ and $\beta$ tensors parameterize the turbulent electromotive…
We examine the effects of turbulence on elliptic instability of rotating stratified incompressible flows, in the context of the Lagragian-averaged Euler-Boussinesq-alpha, or \laeba, model of turbulence. We find that the \laeba model alters…
We study the transition from fluid at rest to turbulence in a rotating water cylinder. We show that the energy, injected at a given height, is transported by inertial wave packets through the fluid volume. These waves propagate at…
Cortical activity recorded through EEG and MEG reflects complex dynamics that span multiple temporal and spatial scales. Spectral analyses of these signals consistently reveal power-law behaviour, a hallmark of turbulent systems. In this…
Intermittency phenomena are known to be among the main reasons why Kolmogorov's theory of fully developed Turbulence is not in accordance with several experimental results. This is why some \emph{fractal} statistical models have been…
Two kinds of nonlinearities coexist in viscoelastic fluid flows, i.e., inertia and elasticity, which can engender different types of chaotic states including IT, DRT, ET and EIT. The state of MDR, the ultimate state of DRT induced by adding…
In this paper we investigate the properties of rapidly rotating decaying turbulence using numerical simulations and phenomenological modelling. We find that as the turbulent flow evolves in time, the Rossby number decreases to $\sim…
In a weakly collisional, low-electron-beta plasma, large-scale Alfv\'en turbulence transforms into inertial kinetic-Alfv\'en turbulence at scales smaller than the ion microscale (gyroscale or inertial scale). We propose that at such kinetic…
Turbulent flows have been used for millennia to mix solutes; a familiar example is stirring cream into coffee. However, many energy, environmental, and industrial processes rely on the mixing of solutes in porous media where confinement…
A fluid system is derived to describe electrostatic magnetized plasma turbulence at scales somewhat larger than the Larmor radius of a given species. It is related to the Hasegawa- Mima equation, but does not conserve enstrophy, and, as a…
Elastoviscoplastic (EVP) fluid flows are driven by a non-trivial interplay between the elastic, viscous, and plastic properties, which under certain conditions can transition the otherwise laminar flow into complex flow instabilities with…
We report analytical and numerical investigations of sub-ion-scale turbulence in low-beta plasmas, focusing on the spectral properties of the fluctuations and electron heating. In the isothermal limit, the numerical results strongly support…
The scaling argument developed by Larichev and Held (1995) for eddy amplitudes and fluxes in a horizontally homogeneous, two-layer model on an f-plane is extended to a beta-plane. In terms of the non-dimensional number x =…
Electromagnetic (EM) instabilities and turbulence driven by the electron-temperature gradient are considered in a local slab model of a tokamak-like plasma. The model describes perturbations at scales both larger and smaller than the…
Starting from the classical formulation of the weak turbulence theory in a density stratified fluid, we derive a simplified version of the kinetic equation of internal gravity wave turbulence. This equation allows us to uncover scaling laws…
