In many plasma systems, introducing a small background shear flow is enough to stabilize the system linearly. The nonlinear dynamics are much less sensitive to sheared flows than the average linear growthrates, and very small amplitude…

Motivated by the observed differences in the nebular emission of nearby and high-redshift galaxies, we carry out a set of direct numerical simulations of turbulent astrophysical media exposed to a UV background. The simulations assume a…

We examine how perturbed shear flows evolve in two-dimensional, incompressible, inviscid hydrodynamical fluids, with the ultimate goal of understanding the dynamics of accretion disks. To linear order, vorticity waves are swung around by…

Direct numerical simulations were performed to characterize fully developed supersonic turbulent channel flows over isothermal rough walls. The effect of roughness was incorporated using a level-set/volume-of-fluid immersed boundary method.…

Symmetric instability (SI) is a frontal instability arising from the interaction of rotation with lateral and vertical shear of a frontal jet and is a generalization of shear, centrifugal, and gravitational instabilities. While the onset of…

The vertical shear instability (VSI) is widely believed to be effective in driving turbulence in protoplanetary disks. Prior studies on VSI exclusively exploit the reflecting boundary conditions (BCs) at the disk surfaces. VSI depends…

Spherical (nonrotating) accretion flows with small-scale magnetic fields have been investigated using three-dimensional, time-dependent MHD simulations. These simulations have been designed to model high-resolution (quasi) steady accretion…

We present the results of three-dimensional simulations of supersonic Euler turbulence with grid resolutions up to 1024^3 points. Our numerical experiments describe nonmagnetized driven turbulent flows with an isothermal equation of state…

We examine the settled particle layers of planet forming disks in which the streaming instability (SI) is thought to be either weak or inactive. A suite of low-to-moderate resolution three-dimensional simulations in a $0.2H$ sized box,…

We present results from a suite of three-dimensional global hydrodynamic simulations which show that spiral density waves propagating in circumstellar disks are unstable to the growth of a parametric instability that leads to break-down of…

A large eddy simulation (LES) with an extended Smagorinsky model has been carried to investigate numerically the fully developed turbulent flow of a shear thinning fluid (n=0.75) in a stationary pipe at a simulation's Reynolds number equals…

We present a multi-scale formalism that accounts for the formation of nano-scale bubbles/cavities owing to a burst of water molecules after the passage of high energy charged particles that leads to the formation of hot non-ionizing…

Highly supersonic, compressible turbulence is thought to be of tantamount importance for star formation processes in the interstellar medium. Likewise, cosmic structure formation is expected to give rise to subsonic turbulence in the…

I shortly describe the main results on elastically driven instabilities and elastic turbulence in viscoelastic inertia-less flows with curved streamlines. Then I describe a theory of elastic turbulence and prediction of elastic waves at…

The success of the neutrino mechanism of core-collapse supernovae relies on the supporting action of two hydrodynamic instabilities: neutrino-driven convection and the Standing Accretion Shock Instability (SASI). Depending on the structure…

Supersonic flows are ubiquitous in warm and cool media; their dissipation leads to heating, generation of nonthermal particles, and amplification of background magnetic fields. We present 2D hybrid (kinetic ions - fluid electrons)…

It is known that a finite-size homogeneous granular fluid develops an hydrodynamic-like instability when dissipation crosses a threshold value. This instability is analyzed in terms of modified hydrodynamic equations: first, a source term…

The present work evaluates the effects of three inflow boundary conditions on large-eddy simulations of supersonic jet flows. The three inlet flow configurations considered are an inviscid profile, a stationary turbulent profile extracted…

Shock-driven turbulence is central to astrophysical plasmas in which explosions and compressive driving inject energy through shocks rather than steady stirring. We present three-dimensional, three-temperature (ion, electron, and radiation;…

We report on simulations of laboratory experiments in which magnetized supersonic flows are driven through a wire mesh. The goal of the study was to investigate the ability of such a configuration to generate supersonic, MHD turbulence. We…
