A theory of non-homogeneous turbulence is developed and is applied to boundary-free shear flows. The theory introduces assumptions of inner and outer similarity for the non-homogeneity of two-point statistics and predicts power law scalings…
Differential models for hydrodynamic, passive-scalar and wave turbulence given by nonlinear first- and second-order evolution equations for the energy spectrum in the $k$-space were analysed. Both types of models predict formation an…
A defining feature of 3D hydrodynamic turbulence is that the rate of energy dissipation is bounded away from zero as viscosity is decreased (Reynolds number increased). This phenomenon - anomalous dissipation - is sometimes called the…
We present a numerical study of anisotropic statistical fluctuations in homogeneous turbulent flows. We give an argument to predict the dimensional scaling exponents, (p+j)/3, for the projections of p-th order structure function in the j-th…
We propose a new approach to the old-standing problem of the anomaly of the scaling exponents of nonlinear models of turbulence. We achieve this by constructing, for any given nonlinear model, a linear model of passive advection of an…
We introduce a perturbative framework for anomalous scaling in turbulent transport based on multiplier statistics, rather than zero-mode calculations. We illustrate the approach using a shell model combining deterministic and Kraichnan-like…
The problem of anomalous scaling in passive scalar advection, especially with $\delta$-correlated velocity field (the Kraichnan model) has attracted a lot of interest since the exponents can be computed analytically in certain limiting…
We propose a scheme for the calculation from the NS equations of the scaling exponents $\zeta_n$ of the $n$th order correlators in fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence. The scheme is nonperturbative and constructed to respect the…
We introduce a shell model of turbulence featuring intermittent behaviour with anomalous power-law scaling of structure functions. This model is solved analytically with the explicit derivation of anomalous exponents. The solution…
The field theoretic renormalization group and operator product expansion are applied to the Kazantsev--Kraichnan kinematic model for the magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The anomalous scaling emerges as a consequence of the existence of…
The connection between anomalous scaling of structure functions (intermittency) and numerical methods for turbulence simulations is discussed. It is argued that the computational work for direct numerical simulations (DNS) of fully…
The energy spectrum in three examples of inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence, namely, purely mechanical wall turbulence, the Bolgiano-Obukhov cascade and helical turbulence, is analyzed. As one could expect, simple dimensional reasoning…
A recent discovery about the inertial range of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence is the saturation of the scaling exponents $\zeta_n$ for large $n$, defined via structure functions of order $n$ as $S_{n}(r)=\overline{(\delta_r…
The problem of anomalous scaling in magnetohydrodynamics turbulence is considered within the framework of the kinematic approximation, in the presence of a large-scale background magnetic field. The velocity field is Gaussian,…
This manuscript is a draft of work in progress, meant for network distribution only. It will be updated to a formal preprint when the numerical calculations will be accomplished. In this draft we develop a consistent closure procedure for…
We present a model of hydrodynamic turbulence for which the program of computing the scaling exponents from first principles can be developed in a controlled fashion. The model consists of $N$ suitably coupled copies of the "Sabra" shell…
It is now believed that the scaling exponents of moments of velocity increments are anomalous, or that the departures from Kolmogorov's (1941) self-similar scaling increase nonlinearly with the increasing order of the moment. This appears…
We accomplish two major tasks. First, we show that the turbulent motion at large scales obeys Gaussian statistics in the interval 0 < Rlambda < 8.8, where Rlambda is the microscale Reynolds number, and that the Gaussian flow breaks down to…
In anisotropic turbulence the correlation functions are decomposed in the irreducible representations of the SO(3) symmetry group (with different "angular momenta" $\ell$). For different values of $\ell$ the second order correlation…
A new statistical field-theory model of isotropic turbulence is introduced. The model renormalizes the effects of turbulent stresses into a velocity-gradient-dependent random force. The model is well-defined within the context of the…
