Turbulent flows in three dimensions are characterized by the transport of energy from large to small scales through the energy cascade. Since the small scales are the result of the nonlinear dynamics across the scales, they are often…
We study the GOY shell model simulating the cascade processes of turbulent flow. The model has two inviscid invariants governing the dynamical behavior. Depending on the choice of interaction coefficients, or coupling parameters, the two…
We analyze the data stemming from a forced incompressible hydrodynamic simulation on a grid of 2048^3 regularly spaced points, with a Taylor Reynolds number of Re~1300. The forcing is given by the Taylor-Green flow, which shares…
Turbulent fluctuations exhibit universal scaling laws that are independent of large-scale statistics. It is often explained that such universality is caused by the loss of information about large-scale statistics during the cascade process.…
The effect of rotation is considered to become important when the Rossby number is sufficiently small, as is the case in many geophysical and astrophysical flows. Here we present direct numerical simulations to study the effect of rotation…
Binary fluid turbulence distinguishes itself from ordinary fluid turbulence by virtue of interfacial dynamics. Whether Kolmogorov-like scaling laws also exist for binary fluid turbulence is a fundamental question to explore. Starting from…
The separating and reattaching turbulent flow past a rectangular cylinder is studied to describe how small and large scales contribute to the sustaining mechanism of the velocity fluctuations. The work is based on the Anisotropic…
We introduce a new shell model of turbulence which exhibits improved properties in comparison to the standard (and very popular) GOY model. The nonlinear coupling is chosen to minimize correlations between different shells. In particular…

A central obstacle to understanding the route to turbulence in wall-bounded flows is that the flows are composed of complex, highly fluctuating, and strongly nonlinear states. In the case of pipe flow, models have deepened our understanding…
We first summarize briefly several properties concerning the dynamics of two-dimensional (2D) turbulence, with an emphasis on the inverse cascade of energy to the largest accessible scale of the system. In order to study a similar…

Turbulent flows are known to produce enhanced effective magnetic and passive scalar diffusivities, which can fairly accurately be determined with numerical methods. It is now known that, if the flow is also helical, the effective magnetic…
Processing the data from a large variety of zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer flows shows that the Reynolds-number-dependent scaling law, which the present authors obtained earlier for pipes, gives an accurate description of the…
Using a large number of numerical simulations we examine the steady state of rotating turbulent flows in triple periodic domains, varying the Rossby number $Ro$ (that measures the inverse rotation rate) and the Reynolds number $Re$ (that…
Both dissipation of helicity and it spectrum we are study on the basis of asymptotic model. Introduction into model dependence of angle between turbulent components vorticity and velocity on the governing parameters leads to the spectra of…
The dimensionless dissipation coefficient $\beta=\varepsilon L/U^3$ is an important characteristic of statistically stationary homogeneous turbulence. In studies of $\beta$, the external force is typically isotropic and large-scale, and its…
