The first consistent phenomenological theory for two and three dimensional Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) turbulence has recently been presented by Chertkov [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 91} 115001 (2003)]. By means of direct numerical simulations we…
Three-dimensional miscible Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) turbulence at small Atwood number and at Prandtl number one is investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations. RT turbulence is a…
We extend the ideas of Kolmogorov theory on symmetries of turbulent dynamics to analyze invariants, scaling and spectra of unsteady turbulent mixing induced by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Time- and scale-invariance of the rate of…
We investigate the miscible Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability in both 2 and 3 dimensions using direct numerical simulations, where the working fluid is assumed incompressible under the Boussinesq approximation. We first consider the case of…
The dynamics of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence convection in presence of an alternating, time periodic acceleration is studied by means of extensive direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations. Within this framework, we discover a…
We studied turbulence induced by the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability for 2D immiscible two-component flows by using a multicomponent lattice Boltzmann method with a Shan-Chen pseudopotential implemented on GPUs. We compare our results with…
We investigate the statistical properties of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence in a convective cell of high aspect ratio, in which one transverse side is much smaller that the others. We show that the scale of confinement determines the Bolgiano…
If a fluid flow is driven by a weak Gaussian random force, the nonlinearity in the Navier-Stokes equations is negligibly small and the resulting velocity field obeys Gaussian statistics. Nonlinear effects become important as the driving…
Direct Numerical Simulations of turbulent convection in a large aspect-ratio box are carried out in the range of Rayleigh number $7 \times 10^4 \le Ra \le 2 \times 10^6$ at Prandtl number Pr=0.71. A strong correlation between the vertical…
We present results of a high resolution numerical study of two dimensional (2d) Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence using a recently proposed thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBT). The goal of our study is both methodological and physical. We…
Asymptotically large Reynolds number hydrodynamic turbulence is characterized by multi-scaling of moments of velocity increments and spatial derivatives. With decreasing Reynolds number toward $R_{\lambda}=R^{tr}_{\lambda}\approx 9.0$, the…
We provide experimental measurements for the effective scaling of the Taylor-Reynolds number within the bulk $\text{Re}_{\lambda,\text{bulk}}$, based on local flow quantities as a function of the driving strength (expressed as the Taylor…
The Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) turbulence is investigated by means of high resolution numerical simulations. The main question addressed here is on whether RT phenomenology can be considered as a manifestation of universality of Navier--Stokes…
A numerical investigation of an asymptotically reduced model for quasi-geostrophic Rayleigh-B\'enard convection is conducted in which the depth-averaged flows are numerically suppressed by modifying the governing equations. The Reynolds…
A novel phase field method is proposed to model the continuous transition of binary fluids exhibiting temperature sensitive miscibility gap, from immiscible state to miscible state via partially miscible states. The model is employed to…
Scaling laws and intermittency in the wall region of a turbulent flow are addressed by analyzing moderate Reynolds number data obtained by single component hot wire anemometry in the boundary layer of a flat plate. The paper aims in…
In this paper, we review the recent developments in the field of buoyancy-driven turbulence. Scaling and numerical arguments show that the stably-stratified turbulence with moderate stratification has kinetic energy spectrum $E_u(k) \sim…
We report and discuss case study simulations of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the Boussinesq, incompressible regime developed to turbulence. Our main focus is on a statistical analysis of density and velocity fluctuations inside of the…
The way the increment statistics of turbulent velocity fluctuations scale with the increment size is a centerpiece of turbulence theories. We report data on decaying turbulence in the Max Planck Variable Density Turbulence Tunnel (VDTT),…
We relate the intermittent fluctuations of velocity gradients in turbulence to a whole range of local dissipation scales generalizing the picture of a single mean dissipation length. The statistical distribution of these local dissipation…
