In this paper, we introduce a three-component Schnakenberg model. Its key feature is that it has a solution consisting of N spikes that undergoes a Hopf bifurcation with respect to N distinct modes nearly simultaneously. This results in…
For the last 140 years, the mechanisms of transport and dissipation of energy in a turbulent flow have not been completely understood. Previous research has focused on analyzing the so-called coherent structures, organized flow patterns…

Nonreciprocal interactions, in which action-reaction symmetry is broken, provide a powerful route to collective dynamics that cannot be captured by equilibrium free-energy minimisation. Here, we introduce and analyse a two-species…
We propose a one-fluid analytical model for a turbulently flowing dilute suspension, based on modified Navier-Stokes equation with a $k$-dependent effective density of suspension, $\rho_ {eff}(k)$, and an additional damping term $\propto…
The Dimits shift is the shift between the threshold of the drift-wave primary instability and the actual onset of turbulent transport in magnetized plasma. It is generally attributed to the suppression of turbulence by zonal flows, but…
The present work proposes a theory of isotropic and homogeneous turbulence for incompressible fluids, which assumes that the turbulence is due to the bifurcations associated to the velocity field. The theory is formulated using a…
We look at various correlation functions, which include those that involve both the velocity and the vorticity fields, in two-dimensional (2D) isotropic homogeneous unforced turbulence. We adopt the more intuitive approach due to Kolmogorov…
