It is crucial to understand the extreme intermittency of ocean and lake turbulence and turbulent mixing in order to estimate vertical fluxes of momentum, heat and mass by Osborn-Cox flux-dissipation methods. Vast undersampling errors occur…
In this paper, we are concerned with the local exact relationship for third-order structure functions in the temperature equation, the inviscid MHD equations and the Euler equations in the sense of Duchon-Robert type and Eyink type. It is…
We consider turbulence in a stratified 'Kolmogorov' flow, driven by horizontal shear in the form of sinusoidal body forcing in the presence of an imposed background linear stable stratification in the third direction. This flow…

We investigate the behavior of microscopic heavy particles settling in homogeneous air turbulence. The regimes are relevant to the airborne transport of dust and droplets: the Taylor-microscale Reynolds number is Re = 289 - 462, the…
The paper by A.N. Kolmogorov 1934 "Random Moves", hereinafter ANK34, uses a Fokker-Planck-type equation for a 6-dimensional vector with a total rather than a partial derivative with respect to time, and with a Laplacian in the space of…
This paper studies the 1D pressureless turbulence (the Burgers equation). It shows that reliable numerics in this problem is very easy to produce if one properly discretizes the Burgers equation. The numerics it presents confirms the 7/2…

The present work studies the isotropic and homogeneous turbulence for incompressible fluids through a specific Lyapunov analysis, assuming that the turbulence is due to the bifurcations associated to the velocity field. The analysis…
Quantum turbulence is numerically studied by solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Introducing both the energy dissipation at small scales and the energy injection at large scales, we succeed in obtaining the steady turbulence made by the…
In a recent paper we demonstrated how the simplest model for varying alpha may be interpreted as the effect of a dielectric material, generalized to be consistent with Lorentz invariance. Unlike normal dielectrics, such a medium cannot…
Herein,we numerically examine the relative dispersion of Lagrangian particle pairs in two-dimensional inverse energy-cascade turbulence. Behind the Richardson-Obukhov $t^3$ law of relative separation, we discover that the second-order…
Turbulence remains one of the central open problems in classical physics, largely due to the absence of a closed dynamical description of the Reynolds stress. Existing approaches typically rely either on local constitutive assumptions or on…
