Understanding the dynamics of material objects advected by turbulent flows is a long standing question in fluid dynamics. In this perspective article we focus on the characterization of the statistical properties of non-interacting…
Multiscale correlation functions in high Reynolds number experimental turbulence, numerical simulations and synthetic signals are investigated. Fusion Rules predictions as they arise from multiplicative, almost uncorrelated, random…
Sampling synthetic turbulent fields as a computationally tractable surrogate for direct numerical simulations (DNS) is an important practical problem in various applications, and allows to test our physical understanding of the main…
The aim of the present paper is to introduce and to discuss inconsistencies errors that may arise when Eulerian and Lagrangian models are coupled for the simulations of turbulent poly-dispersed two-phase flows. In these hydrid models, two…
Turbulence is the most important, ubiquitous, and difficult problem of classical physics. Feynman viewed it as essentially unsolved, without a rigorous mathematical basis to describe the statistical dynamics of this most complex of fluid…
In this article, I would like to express some of my views on the nature of turbulence. These views are mainly drawn from the author's recent results on chaos in partial differential equations \cite{Li04}. Fluid dynamicists believe that…
The numerical experiments of turbulence conducted by Gotoh et al. are analyzed precisely with the help of the formulae for the scaling exponents of velocity structure function and for the probability density function (PDF) of velocity…
In this paper, we consider turbulence from a geometric perspective based on the vorticity equations for incompressible viscous fluid flows. We derive several quantitative statements about the statistics of turbulent flows. In particular we…
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…
This review paper is devoted to a presentation of recent progress in wave turbulence. I first present the context and state of the art of this field of research both experimentally and theoretically. I then focus on the case of wave…
In this paper, the approach for investigation of asymptotic ($Re\to \infty$) scaling exponents of Eulerian structure functions (J. Schumacher et al, New. J. of Physics {\bf 9}, 89 (2007)) is generalized to studies of Lagrangian structure…
This is a review of recent progress concerning generic spacelike singularities in general relativity. For brevity the main focus is on singularities in vacuum spacetimes, although the connection with, and the role of, matter for generic…
Energy dissipation rate is an important parameter for nearly every experiment on turbulent flow. Mathematically precise relationships between energy dissipation rate and other measurable statistics for the case of anisotropic turbulence are…
This paper is focused on the coherent effects that appear in tracer statistics in two-dimensional incompressible turbulence in the presence of an average velocity. We show that this determines strong modifications of the transport and…
This is a survey of recent and classical results concerning various types of homogeneity, such as n-homogeneity, discrete homogeneity, and countable dense homogeneity. Some new results are also presented, and several problems are posed.
The statistical properties of interstellar turbulence are studied by means of three-dimensional high-resolution HD and MHD simulations of a SN-driven ISM. It is found that the longitudinal and transverse turbulent length scales have time…
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…
In this communication, the closure formulas of von K\'arm\'an--Howarth and Corrsin equations are obtained through the Liouville theorem and the hypothesis of homogeneous isotropic incompressible turbulence. Such closures, based on the…
As first part of this work, experimental information about the decay of isotropic turbulence in ordinary hydrodynamics, u^2(t) proportional to t^{-6/5}, is used as input in FRW equations in order to investigate how an initial fraction f of…
We determine the timescales associated with turbulent diffusion and isotropization in closure models using anisotropically forced and freely decaying turbulence simulations and to study the applicability of these models. We compare the…
