Understanding stickiness and power-law behavior of Poincar\'e recurrence statistics is an open problem for higher-dimensional systems, in contrast to the well-understood case of systems with two degrees-of-freedom. We study such…
A prevalent feature of three-dimensional turbulence is the presence of anomalous dissipation, or that the mean rate of energy dissipation is bounded below by a positive number in the inviscid limit. This is thought to be due to the…

We investigate the spatial distribution and dynamics of the vortices in rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a reduced Rayleigh-number range $1.3{\le}Ra/Ra_{c}{\le}166$. Under slow rotations ($Ra{\gtrsim}10Ra_{c}$), the vortices are…

In rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, columnar vortices advect horizontally in a stochastic manner. When the centrifugal buoyancy is present the vortices exhibit radial motions that can be explained through a Langevin-type stochastic…
Vortices play an unique role in heat and momentum transports in astro- and geo-physics, and it is also the origin of the Earth's dynamo. A question existing for a long time is whether the movement of vortices can be predicted or understood…
An improved understanding of how vortices develop and propagate under pulsatile flow can shed important light on the mixing and transport processes including the transition to turbulent regime occurring in such systems. For example, the…

Turbulence is a complex system exhibiting both universal statistical features and prominent coherent structures. We model turbulence using coherent vortices distributed within a multi-scale statistical framework, termed `woven turbulence'.…
Three-dimensional steady-state Arnold-Beltrami-Childress (ABC) flow has a chaotic Lagrangian structure, and also satisfies the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations with an external force per unit mass. It is well-known that, although trajectories…
