This work analyses the homogeneous isotropic turbulence by means of the equivalence between Euler and Lagrange representations of motion, adopting the bifurcation rates associated with Navier--Stokes and kinematic equations, and an…
Using a generalization of extended self-similarity we have studied local scaling properties of 3D turbulence in a direct numerical simulation. We have found that these properties are consistent with lognormal-like behavior of energy…
The present work analyzes the statistics of finite scale local Lyapunov exponents of pairs of fluid particles trajectories in fully developed incompressible homogeneous isotropic turbulence. According to the hypothesis of fully developed…
Motivated by results from recent particle tracking experiments in turbulence (Xu et al., Nat. Phys. 7, 709 (2011)), we study the Lagrangian time correlations of vorticity alignments with the three eigenvectors of the deformation-rate…
We analyze data from direct numerical simulations of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence (at Re_\lambda \approx 280) and study the statistics of curvature and torsion of Lagrangian trajectories in order to extract informations on the…
The Lagrangian statistics of relative dispersion in fully developed turbulence is numerically investigated. A scaling range spanning many decades is achieved by generating a synthetic velocity field with prescribed Eulerian statistical…
Local regions of anomalous particle dispersion, and intermittent events that occur in turbulent flows can greatly influence the global statistical description of the flow. These local behaviors can be identified and analyzed by comparing…
The multifractal theory of turbulence is used to investigate the energy cascade in the Northwestern Atlantic ocean. The statistics of singularity exponents of velocity gradients computed from in situ measurements are used to show that the…
Using direct numerical simulations of isotropic turbulence in periodic cubes of several sizes, the largest being $8192^3$ yielding a microscale Reynolds number of $1300$, we study the properties of pressure Laplacian to understand…
The statistical geometry of dispersing Lagrangian clusters of four particles (tetrahedra) is studied by means of high-resolution direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence. We give the first evidence…
Inpired by recent measurements of the velocity and acceleration statistics of Lagrangian tracer particles embedded in a turbulent quantum liquid we propose a new superstatistical model for the dynamics of tracer particles in quantum…
Using time-resolved measurements of the orientation of rigid inertial fibers in a turbulence-tank, we investigate the autocorrelation of their tumbling rate. The correlation time ($\tau_d$) is well predicted by Kolmogorov inertial-range…
Tracers in a turbulent flow separate according to the celebrated $t^{3/2}$ Richardson--Obukhov law, which is usually explained by a scale-dependent effective diffusivity. Here, supported by state-of-the-art numerics, we revisit this…
The scaling of acceleration statistics in turbulence is examined by combining data from the literature with new data from well-resolved direct numerical simulations of isotropic turbulence, significantly extending the Reynolds number range.…
Lagrangian turbulence lies at the core of numerous applied and fundamental problems related to the physics of dispersion and mixing in engineering, bio-fluids, atmosphere, oceans, and astrophysics. Despite exceptional theoretical,…
Experiments using 3D Lagrangian tracking are used to investigate Kolmogorov scaling below the bubble size in bubble-induced turbulence (BIT). Second and third order structure functions reveal approximate Kolmogorov scaling for homogeneous…
In this paper, the scaling property of the inverse energy cascade and forward enstrophy cascade of the vorticity filed $\omega(x,y)$ in two-dimensional (2D) turbulence is analyzed. This is accomplished by applying a Hilbert-based technique,…
We extend the Kolmogorov phenomenology for the scaling of energy spectra in high-Reynolds number turbulence, to explicitly include the effect of helicity. There exists a time-scale $\tau_H$ for helicity transfer in homogeneous, isotropic…
Conditional statistics of homogeneous isotropic turbulent flow is investigated by means of high-Reynolds number direct numerical simulations performed with $2048^3$ collocation points. Eulerian as well as Lagrangian velocity increment…
We study the properties of various Eulerian contributions to fluid particle acceleration by using well-resolved direct numerical simulations of isotropic turbulence, with the grid resolution as high as $12288^3$ and the Taylor-scale…
