We consider the two-dimensional (2D) flow in a flat free-slip surface that bounds a three-dimensional (3D) volume in which the flow is turbulent. The equations of motion for the two-dimensional flow in the surface are neither compressible…

The role of turbulence in a spherically symmetric accreting system has been studied on very large spatial scales of the system. This is also a highly subsonic flow region and here the accreting fluid has been treated as nearly…

A generalized theory of two-dimensional isotropic turbulence is developed based on conformal symmetry. A number of minimal models of conformal turbulence are solved under an extended constraint including both the enstrophy cascade by…

We experimentally investigate the flow of a viscoelastic fluid in a parallel shear geometry at low Reynolds number. As the flow becomes unstable via a nonlinear subcritical instability, velocimetry measurements show non-periodic…

We introduce a new method of statistical analysis to characterise the dynamics of turbulent fluids in two dimensions. We establish that, in equilibrium, the vortex distributions can be uniquely connected to the temperature of the vortex…

We investigate the laminar flow of two-fluid mixtures inside a simple network of inter-connected tubes. The fluid system is comprised of two miscible Newtonian fluids of different viscosity which do not mix and remain as nearly distinct…

We use multiscale-multispace correlations and Fourier transform techniques, to study some intermittent random field properties, which escape analysis by structure function scaling. These properties are parametrized in terms of a set of…

We consider the statistical description of steady state fully developed incompressible fluid turbulence at the inertial range of scales in any number of spatial dimensions. We show that turbulence statistics is scale but not conformally…

We investigate the stability, nonlinear development and equilibrium structure of vortices in a background shearing Keplerian flow. We make use of high-resolution global two-dimensional compressible hydrodynamic simulations. We introduce the…

The addition of a small amount of long-chain polymers confers viscoelastic properties to Newtonian flows. The resulting non-Newtonian solution now exhibits different dynamics, such as enhanced mixing at low Reynolds, where elastic…

Flow networks can describe many natural and artificial systems. We present a model for a flow system that allows for volume accumulation, includes conduits with a non-linear relation between current and pressure difference, and can be…

Vortex lattices -- highly ordered arrays of vortices -- are known to arise in quantum systems such as type II superconductors and Bose-Einstein condensates. More recently, similar arrangements have been reported in classical rotating…

We study flow around a cylinder from a dynamics perspective, using drag and lift as indicators. We observe that the mean drag coefficient bifurcates from the steady case when the Karman vortex street emerges. We also find a jump in the…

A discrete and periodic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, coupled to a discrete mean equation, is systematically derived from a driven and dissipative oscillator model, close to the onset of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation. The oscillator…

Several simulations of turbulence in the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) [W. Gekelman et al., Rev. Sci. Inst. 62, 2875 (1991)] are energetically analyzed and compared with each other and with the experiment. The simulations use the same model,…

We study numerically and analytically the dynamics of particles on the Galton board, a regular lattice of disc scatters, in the presence of a constant external force and friction. It is shown that under certain conditions friction leads to…

We show that a dissipative two-dimensional Raman lattice can be engineered in a two-component ultracold atomic gas, where the interplay of the two-dimensional spin-orbit coupling and lightinduced atom loss gives rise to a density flow…

Laminar-turbulent pattern formation is a distinctive feature of the intermittency regime in subcritical plane shear flows. By performing extensive numerical simulations of the plane channel flow, we show that the pattern emerges from a…

Cosmological perturbations of sufficiently long wavelength admit a fluid dynamic description. We consider modes with wavevectors below a scale $k_m$ for which the dynamics is only mildly non-linear. The leading effect of modes above that…
