The final states of freely decaying two-dimensional (2D) topographic turbulence consist of a background flow and localized vortices. While the background flow satisfies a linear potential vorticity (PV)-streamfunction relation, the vortex…
Numerical and analytical studies of decaying, two-dimensional (2D) Navier-Stokes (NS) turbulence at high Reynolds numbers are reported. The effort is to determine computable distinctions between two different formulations of maximum entropy…
We study the scaling properties of two-dimensional turbulence using dimensional analysis. In particular, we consider the energy spectrum both at large and small scales and in the "inertial ranges" for the cases of freely decaying and forced…
The recent work of Siegelman \& Young (PNAS, vol. 120(44), 2023, pp. e2308018120) revealed two extreme states reached by the evolution of unforced and weakly-damped two-dimensional turbulence above random rough topography, separated by a…
The dynamics of the two-dimensional (2D) state in driven tridimensional (3D) incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence is investigated through high-resolution direct numerical simulations and in the presence of an external magnetic…
The term "solid-state turbulence" may sound like an oxymoron, but in fact it is not. In this article we demonstrate that solid-state turbulence may emerge owing to a defining property of the solid state: the ability of a solid to retain its…
The long-time evolution of decaying homogeneous turbulence is a fundamental building block of the subject. We investigate the problem by using a comprehensive suite of Direct Numerical Simulations. The simulations cover initial Taylor…
Two-dimensional decaying turbulent flow is known to approach apparently stable states after a long time evolution. A few theories and models have been so far proposed to account for this relaxation. In this paper, we compare results of…
We study shell models that conserve the analogues of energy and enstrophy, hence designed to mimic fluid turbulence in 2D. The main result is that the observed state is well described as a formal statistical equilibrium, closely analogous…
Instabilities of fluid flows often generate turbulence. Using extensive direct numerical simulations, we study two-dimensional turbulence driven by a wavenumber-localised instability superposed on stochastic forcing, in contrast to previous…
A two dimensional model is introduced to study pattern formation, secondary instabilities and the transition to spatiotemporal chaos (weak turbulence) in parametric surface waves. The stability of a periodic standing wave state above onset…
Taylor-Couette (TC) flow is used to probe the hydrodynamical stability of astrophysical accretion disks. Experimental data on the subcritical stability of TC are in conflict about the existence of turbulence (cf. Ji et al. Nature, 444,…
In this work, we perform numerical simulations of forced two-phase isotropic turbulence to study the stationary states of a two-phase mixture. We first formulate three different approaches to force a two-phase turbulent flow that maintains…
The transition from hard/soft turbulence to deterministic chaos in freely decaying fluid dynamics (incompressible and compressible) has been studied using the results of laboratory measurements and numerical simulations. The notion of…
We derive the expression for the energy uncertainty of the final state of a decay of an unstable quantum state prepared at the initial time $t=0$. This expression is function of the time $t$ at which a measurement is performed to determine…
The flapping states of a flexible fiber fully coupled to a three-dimensional turbulent flow are investigated via state-of-the-art numerical methods. Two distinct flapping regimes are predicted by the phenomenological theory recently…
Physical models of intermittency in fully developed turbulence employ many phenomenological concepts such as active volume, region, eddy, energy accumulation set, etc, used to describe non-uniformity of the energy cascade. In this paper we…
The statistical features of homogeneous, isotropic, two-dimensional stochastic turbulence are discussed. We derive some rigorous bounds for the mean value of the bulk energy dissipation rate $\mathbb{E} [\varepsilon ]$ and enstrophy…
Turbulence follows a few well-known organizational principles, rooted in conservation laws. One such principle states that a system conserving two sign-definite invariants self-organizes into large-scale structures. Ordinary…
We find strong evidence for intermittency in forced two dimensional (2D) turbulence in a flowing soap film experiment. In the forward enstrophy cascade the structure function scaling exponents are nearly indistinguishable from 3D studies.…
