We report experimental results on elastic instability in a viscoelastic channel shear flow due to only a natural non-smoothed inlet and small holes along the channel for pressure measurements. We show that non-normal mode instability…
The inertial-range properties of quasi-stationary hydrodynamic turbulence under solid-body rotation are studied via high-resolution direct numerical simulations. For strong rotation the nonlinear energy cascade exhibits depletion and a…
Reproducing complex phenomena with simple models marks our understanding of the phenomena themselves and this is what Jack Herring's work demonstrated multiple times. In that spirit, this work studies a turbulence shell model consisting of…
Creeping flow of polymeric fluid without inertia exhibits elastic instabilities and elastic turbulence accompanied by drag enhancement due to elastic stress produced by flow-stretched polymers. However, in inertia-dominated flow at high…
We use direct numerical simulations to study homogeneous, and isotropic turbulent flows of dilute polymer solutions at high Reynolds and Deborah numbers. We find that for small wavenumbers $k$, the kinetic energy spectrum shows…
In weakly-collisional plasma environments with sufficiently low electron beta, Alfv\'enic turbulence transforms into inertial Alfv\'enic turbulence at scales below the electron skin-depth, $k_\perp d_e\gtrsim 1$. We argue that, in inertial…
Quantum turbulence that exhibits vortex creation, annihilation and interactions is demonstrated as an exact solution of the time-dependent, free-particle Schr\"odinger equation evolved from a smooth random-phased initial condition. Relaxed…
Energy transfers from larger to smaller scales in turbulence. This energy cascade is a process of the creation of smaller-scale coherent vortices by larger ones. In our recent study (Yoneda, Goto and Tsuruhashi 2021), we reformulated the…

The flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a thin disc under the action of an azimuthal Lorentz force is studied experimentally. At small forcing, the Lorentz force is balanced by either viscosity or inertia, yielding quasi-Keplerian…
Elastoinertial turbulence (EIT) is a chaotic state that emerges in the flows of dilute polymer solutions. Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of EIT is highly computationally expensive due to the need to resolve the multi-scale nature of the…
Turbulence is defined as an eddy-like state of fluid motion where the inertial-vortex forces of the eddies are larger than any of the other forces that tend to damp the eddies out. Energy cascades of irrotational flows from large scales to…
We consider the evolution of a family of 2D dispersive turbulence models. The members of this family involve the nonlinear advection of a dynamically active scalar field, the locality of the streamfunction-scalar relation is denoted by…

Turbulence -- ubiquitous in nature and engineering alike [1-5] -- is traditionally viewed as an intrinsically inertial phenomenon, emerging only when the Reynolds number (Re), which quantifies the ratio of inertial to dissipative forces…
Theoretical considerations are made of superfluid turbulence in the Kelvin wave cascade regime at low temperatures (T < 1K) and length scales of the order or smaller than the intervortical distance. The energy spectrum is shown to be in…

This movie illustrates the recent numerical and experimental discovery of a new state of turbulence in dilute polymer solutions, Elasto-Inertial Turbulence. Elasto-inertial turbulence is characterized by a chaotic flow state in which both…
