The dimensionality of turbulence in fluid layers determines their properties. We study electromagnetically driven flows in finite depth fluid layers and show that eddy viscosity, which appears as a result of three-dimensional motions, leads…
Turbulence sustains out-of-equilibrium energy fluxes shaped by conservation laws. Three-dimensional flows conserve energy and sign-indefinite helicity, both being transferred to small scales. Yet in 3D rotating turbulence, energy is…
The aim of the present work is to investigate the role of coherent structures in the generation of the secondary flow in a turbulent square duct. The coherent structures are defined as connected regions of flow where the product of the…
