In a series of recent works it was proposed that shell models of turbulence exhibit inertial range scaling exponents that depend on the nature of the dissipative mechanism. If true, and if one could imply a similar phenomenon to…

We simulate stellar convection at high Reynolds number (Re$\lesssim$7000) with causal time stepping but no explicit viscosity. We use the 3D Euler equations with shock capturing (Colella & Woodward 1984). Anomalous dissipation of turbulent…
To characterize fluctuations in a turbulent flow, one usually studies different moments of velocity increments and dissipation rate, $\overline{(v(x+r)-v(x))^{n}}\propto r^{\zeta_{n}}$ and $\overline{{\cal E}^{n}}\propto Re^{d_{n}}$,…
We investigate numerically the model proposed in Sahoo et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 164501, (2017)] where a parameter $\lambda$ is introduced in the Navier-Stokes equations such that the weight of homochiral to heterochiral interactions is…
We consider the flow of a Newtonian fluid in a three-dimensional domain, rotating about a vertical axis and driven by a vertically invariant horizontal body-force. This system admits vertically invariant solutions that satisfy the 2D…
High Reynolds numbers Navier-Stokes equations are believed to break self-similarity concerning both spatial and temporal properties: correlation functions of different orders exhibit distinct decorrelation times and anomalous spatial…

The Reynolds number provides a characterization of the transition to turbulent flow, with wide application in classical fluid dynamics. Identifying such a parameter in superfluid systems is challenging due to their fundamentally inviscid…

The universality of small scales, a cornerstone of turbulence, has been nominally confirmed for low-order mean-field statistics, such as the energy spectrum. However, small scales exhibit strong intermittency, exemplified by formation of…

Fully-developed incompressible Navier-Stokes turbulence in three dimensions is a dissipative dynamical system that exhibits strong departure from absolute equilibrium. Nevertheless, several kinds of representation by Tsallis equilibria have…
In many simulations of turbulent flows the viscous forces $\nu\nabla^2 {\bf u}$ are replaced by a hyper-viscous term $-\nu_p(-\nabla^2)^{p}{\bf u}$ in order to suppress the effect of viscosity at the large scales. In this work we examine…
