Exact solutions of conformal turbulence restricted on a upper half plane are obtained. We show that the inertial range of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence with constant enstrophy flux develops in a distant region from the boundary. Thus…
Direct numerical simulations of homogeneous decaying turbulence with mild background rotation show the existence of a systematic and significant imbalance between the non-linear energy cascade to small scales and its dissipation. By…
Turbulent motions due to flux-driven thermal convection is investigated by numerical simulations and stochastic modelling. Tilting of convection cells leads to the formation of sheared flows and quasi-periodic relaxation oscillations for…
We consider a general class of intermittent maps designed to be weakly chaotic, i.e., for which the separation of trajectories of nearby initial conditions is weaker than exponential. We show that all its spatio and temporal properties,…
The modeling of turbulence, whether it be numerical or analytical, is a difficult challenge. Turbulence is amenable to analysis with linear theory if it is subject to rapid distortions, i.e., motions occurring on a time scale that is short…
The incompressible fluid dynamics is reformulated as dynamics of closed loops $C$ in coordinate space. This formulation allows to derive explicit functional equation for the generating functional $\Psi[C]$ in inertial range of spatial…
Accretion disc turbulence is investigated in the framework of the shearing box approximation. The turbulence is either driven by the magneto-rotational instability or, in the non-magnetic case, by an explicit and artificial forcing term in…
We present a heuristic derivation of the maximal Lyapunov exponent $\gamma$ of homogeneous turbulence which yields two new relations, a sweeping relation and the scaling of the uncertainty field's integral length $L_{\Delta}$. These…
We measure stretched exponential behavior, exp(- (t/t_0)**beta), over many decades in a one-dimensional array of coupled chaotic electronic elements just above a crisis-induced intermittency transition. There is strong spatial heterogeneity…

Turbulence in driven stratified active matter is considered. The relevant parameters characterizing the problem are the Reynolds number Re and an active matter Richardson-like number,R. In the mixing limit,Re>>1, R<<1, we show that the…
The apparantly irregular (unpredictable) space-time fluctuations in atmospheric flows ranging from climate (thousands of kilometers - years) to turbulence (millimeters - seconds) exhibit the universal symmetry of self-similarity.…
The linear stability of pipe flow implies that only perturbations of sufficient strength will trigger the transition to turbulence. In order to determine this threshold in perturbation amplitude we study the \emph{edge of chaos} which…
The dynamics of velocity fluctuations, governed by the one-dimensional Burgers equation, driven by a white-in-time random force with the spatial spectrum $\overline{|f(k)|^2}\proptok^{-1}$, is considered. High-resolution numerical…
Past numerical simulations and experiments of turbulence exhibit a hump in the inertial range, called the bottleneck effect. In this paper we show that sufficiently large inertial range (four decades) is required for an effective energy…
In experimental study of very high Reynolds number turbulence, we found evidences that there are distinguished vortex structures in the intermediate range, that is, between the Kolmogorov and Taylor microscales, where they are indeed…
Turbulence evolution in a density-stratified medium differs from that of homogeneous isotropic turbulence described by the Kolmogorov picture. We evaluate the degree of this effect in the intracluster medium (ICM) with hydrodynamical…
In recent works we developed a model of balanced gas flow where the momentum equation possesses an additional mean field forcing term, which originates from the hard sphere interaction potential between the gas particles. We demonstrated…
While the focusing and defocusing Nonlinear Schrodinger Equations have similar behavior in the weak turbulence regime, they must differ dramatically in the strong turbulence regime. Here, we show that this difference is already present at…
We investigate anomalously slow coarsening in a dilute two-dimensional (2d) superfluid closed with respect to particle and energy exchange with the environment. The dynamics is demonstrated to be closely connected to both, a non-thermal…
