We study the bifurcations of the large scale jets in the turbulent regime of a forced shear flow using direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations. The bifurcations are seen in the probability density function (PDF) of the…
A new transient regime in the relaxation towards absolute equilibrium of the conservative and time-reversible 3-D Euler equation with high-wavenumber spectral truncation is characterized. Large-scale dissipative effects, caused by the…
Two-dimensional turbulence in a rectangular domain self-organises into large-scale unidirectional jets. While several results are present to characterize the mean jets velocity profile, much less is known about the fluctuations. We study…
A phenomenological two-fluid model of the (time-reversible) spectrally-truncated 3D Euler equation is proposed. The thermalized small scales are first shown to be quasi-normal. The effective viscosity and thermal diffusion are then…
Two-dimensional turbulent flows, and to some extent, geophysical flows, are systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, which, albeit fluctuating, exhibit some degree of organization: coherent structures emerge spontaneously at large…
We present a numerical study of the statistical properties of three-dimensional dissipative turbulent flows at scales larger than the forcing scale. Our results indicate that the large scale flow can be described to a large degree by the…
This paper presents a geometric microcanonical ensemble perspective on two-dimensional Truncated Euler flows, which contain a finite number of (Fourier) modes and conserve energy and enstrophy. We explicitly perform phase space volume…
A model of fully developed turbulence of a compressible fluid is briefly reviewed. It is assumed that fluid dynamics is governed by a stochastic version of Navier-Stokes equation. We show how corresponding field theoretic-model can be…
The problem of inverse statistics (statistics of distances for which the signal fluctuations are larger than a certain threshold) in differentiable signals with power law spectrum, $E(k) \sim k^{-\alpha}$, $3 \le \alpha < 5$, is discussed.…
Based on direct numerical simulations and symmetry arguments, we show that the large-scale Fourier modes are useful tools to describe the flow structures and dynamics of flow reversals in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC). We observe that…
The dynamics of the truncated Euler equations with helical initial conditions are studied. Transient energy and helicity cascades leading to Kraichnan helical absolute equilibrium at small scales are obtained for the first time. The results…
We consider a statistical limit of solutions to the compressible Navier--Stokes system in the high Reynolds number regime in a domain exterior to a rigid body. We investigate to what extent this highly turbulent regime can be modeled by an…
How predictable are turbulent flows? Here we use theoretical estimates and shell model simulations to argue that Eulerian spontaneous stochasticity, a manifestation of the non-uniqueness of the solutions to the Euler equation that is…
It has been recently demonstrated, [3], that according to the principle of release of constraints, absence of shear stresses in the Euler equations must be compensated by additional degrees of freedom, and that led to a Reynolds-type…
This paper reports several new classes of weakly unstable recurrent solutions of the 2+1-dimensional Euler equation on a square domain with periodic boundary conditions. These solutions have a number of remarkable properties which…
The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and static Euler equations are considered. We find that there exist infinite non-trivial regular solutions of incompressible static Euler equations with given boundary conditions. Moreover there…
We present a systematic numerical investigation of bifurcations in the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes flow past a confined circular cylinder. The results indicate that there is a qualitative correspondence between changes in…
We analyze the reversals of the large scale flow in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection both through particle image velocimetry flow visualization and direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the underlying Boussinesq equations in a (quasi)…
A central obstacle to understanding the route to turbulence in wall-bounded flows is that the flows are composed of complex, highly fluctuating, and strongly nonlinear states. In the case of pipe flow, models have deepened our understanding…
We present a numerical study of two-dimensional turbulent flows in the enstrophy cascade regime, with different large-scale forcings and energy sinks. In particular, we study the statistics of more-than-differentiable velocity fluctuations…
