The very small scales of isotropic, Navier-Stokes turbulence at Reynolds number ${\cal R}_\lambda \approx 15$ are studied by high-resolution direct numerical simulation (DNS) and by integration of the direct-interaction (DIA) equations. The…

The Navier-Stokes equations generate an infinite set of generalized Lyapunov exponents defined by different ways of measuring the distance between exponentially diverging perturbed and unperturbed solutions. This set is demonstrated to be…

This paper presents a recent advancement that transforms the problem of decaying turbulence in the Navier-Stokes equations in $3+1$ dimensions into a Number Theory challenge: finding the statistical limit of the Euler ensemble. We redefine…

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…

The log-normal type of turbulence energy spectral function, derived from the maximum entropy principle, is shown to be parameterizable in terms of root turbulence variables including the Reynolds number. The spectral function is first…

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…

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 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…

Few rigorous results are derived for fully developed turbulence. By applying the scaling properties of the Navier-Stokes equation we have derived a relation for the energy spectrum valid for unforced or decaying isotropic turbulence. We…

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…

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…
