The mixing of passive scalars of decreasing diffusivity, advected in each case by the same three-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence, is studied. The mixing becomes more isotropic with decreasing diffusivity. The local flow in the vicinity…

Increasingly larger data sets of processes in space and time ask for statistical models and methods that can cope with such data. We show that the solution of a stochastic advection-diffusion partial differential equation provides a…
We demonstrate that at long times the rate of passive scalar decay in a turbulent, or simply chaotic, flow is dominated by regions (in real space or in inverse space) where mixing is less efficient. We examine two situations. The first is…
We extend deterministic port-Hamiltonian systems (PHS) to a stochastic framework by means of stochastic differential equations. As the dissipation inequality plays a crucial role for deterministic PHS, we develop several passivity concepts…

We consider statistics of the passive scalar on distances much larger than the pumping scale. Such statistics is determined by statistics of Lagrangian contraction that is by probabilities of initially distant fluid particles to come close.…
The background field equations for homogeneous and isotropic spacetime are derived in conformal scalar-tensor gravity. The background temporal evolution is entirely driven by the dynamical evolution of the scalar field, i.e. particle…
