A cylindrical container partially filled with a liquid in orbital shaking motion, i.e. in circular translation with fixed orientation with respect to an inertial frame of reference, generates, along with a rotating sloshing wave, a mean…
We develop a 3D Eulerian model to study the transport and distribution of microplastics in the global ocean. Among other benefits that will be discussed in the paper, one unique feature of our model is that it takes into consideration the…
We present current results from our ongoing project to study the parsec-scale relativistic jet kinematics of sources in the U.S. Naval Observatory's Radio Reference Frame Image Database (RRFID). The RRFID consists of snapshot observations…
We review and test twelve different approaches to the detection of finite-time coherent material structures in two-dimensional, temporally aperiodic flows. We consider both mathematical methods and diagnostic scalar fields, comparing their…
The quiet Sun exhibits a wealth of magnetic activities that are fundamental for our understanding of solar and astrophysical magnetism. The magnetic fields in the quiet Sun are observed to evolve coherently, interacting with each other to…
Most chemistry and cloud formation models for planetary atmospheres adopt a one-dimensional (1D) diffusion approach to approximate the global-mean vertical tracer transport. The physical underpinning of the key parameter in this framework,…
The statistics of Lagrangian pair dispersion in a homogeneous isotropic flow is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations. The focus is on deviations from Richardson eddy-diffusivity model and in particular on the strong…
This work investigated the vorticity dynamics and stability of leading-edge vortices (LEVs) in revolving wings. Previous studies suggested that Coriolis acceleration and spanwise flow both played key roles in stabilizing the LEV; however,…
We present an analysis of the ENEAR sample of peculiar velocities of elliptical galaxies, obtained with D_n-\sigma distances. We use the velocity correlation function to analyze the statistics of the field-object's velocities, while the…
Using a sample of 43 bright (V<16.1, distance <13 kpc) RR Lyrae stars (RRLS) from the QUEST survey with spectroscopic radial velocities and metallicities, we find that several separate halo substructures contribute to the Virgo overdensity…
We perform a-priori validation tests of subgrid-scale (SGS) models for the turbulent transport of momentum, energy and passive scalars. To this end, we conduct two sets of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations with a Lagrangian code:…
We study the spreading of viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, by airborne aerosols, via a new first-passage-time problem for Lagrangian tracers that are advected by a turbulent flow: By direct numerical simulations of the three-dimensional (3D)…
We collected the largest spectroscopic catalog of RR Lyrae (RRLs) including $\approx$20,000 high-, medium- and low-resolution spectra for $\approx$10,000 RRLs. We provide the analytical forms of radial velocity curve (RVC) templates. These…
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…
We report an experimental investigation of the longitudinal space-time cross-correlation function of the velocity field, $C(r,\tau)$, in a cylindrical turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection cell using the particle image velocimetry (PIV)…
We analyse the three-dimensional structure and kinematics of two samples of young stars in the Galactic disc, containing respectively young giants ($\sim$17$\, $000 stars out to heliocentric distances of $\sim$7 kpc) and classical Cepheids…
We report the detection, with a high level of confidence, of coherent outflows around voids found in the seventh data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR7). In particular, we developed a robust <|cos theta|> statistical test to…
We present a framework for the analysis of transport processes resulting from the mean-eddy interaction in a flow. The framework is based on the {\bf T}ransport {\bf I}nduced by the {\bf M}ean-{\bf E}ddy {\bf I}nteraction (TIME) method…
Using numerical simulations of rapidly rotating Boussinesq convection in a Cartesian box, we study the formation of long-lived, large-scale, depth-invariant coherent structures. These structures, which consist of concentrated cyclones, grow…
Rotating turbulent convection occurs ubiquitously in natural convective systems encompassing planetary cores, oceans, and atmospheres, as well as in many industrial applications. While the global heat and mass transfer of water-like…
