We show that some statistical properties of forced two-dimensional turbulence have an important sensitivity to the form of large-scale dissipation which is required to damp the inverse cascade. We consider three models of large-scale…
Many physical systems characterized by nonlinear multiscale interactions can be effectively modeled by treating unresolved degrees of freedom as random fluctuations. However, even when the microscopic governing equations and qualitative…

We briefly review Boltzmann-Gibbs and nonextensive statistical mechanics as well as their connections with Fokker-Planck equations and with existing central limit theorems. We then provide some hints that might pave the road to the proof of…
Since Kolmogorov's theory, turbulence has been studied using various methods, many of which could be now be understood in a probabilistic framework. Herein, a comprehensive review of the advances made on stochastic theory of turbulence…
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…
Stochastic roughness is widespread feature of natural surfaces and is an inherent by-product of most fabrication techniques. In view of rapid development of microfluidics, the important question is how this inevitable evil affects the…
In Ref. [1] the statistical structure of the turbulent cascade in the context of non-additive entropy was considered. Here we suggest that the vortex line ensemble in the Vinen quantum turbulence in superfluids is described by the…

We study stationary solutions to the continuity equation for weakly compressible flows. These describe non-equilibrium steady states of weakly dissipative dynamical systems. Compressibility is a singular perturbation that changes the steady…

In the framework of the Tsallis nonextensive statistical mechanics we study an assembly of N spins, first in a background magnetic field, and then assuming them to interact via a long-range homogeneous mean field. To take into account the…
A Gaussian fluctuation formula is proved for linear statistics of complex random matrices in the case that the statistic is rotationally invariant. For a general linear statistic without this symmetry, Coulomb gas theory is used to predict…
Universal properties of turbulence have been associated traditionally with very high Reynolds numbers, but recent work has shown that the onset of the power-laws in derivative statistics occurs at modest microscale Reynolds numbers of the…
Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in the turbulent regime is studied using statistical methods. Exact evolution equations for the probability density function of temperature and velocity are derived from first principles within the framework of…

A theoretical description of the phenomenon of modulation of near-wall turbulence by large scale structures is investigated. The description given is simple in that the effect of large-scale structures is limited to a quasi-steady response…
Coherent structures/motions in turbulence inherently give rise to intermittent signals with sharp peaks, heavy-skirt, and skewed distributions of velocity increments, highlighting the non-Gaussian nature of turbulence. That suggests that…
