We generalize the `filtering spectrum' [1] to probe scales along different directions by spatial coarse-graining. This multi-dimensional filtering spectrum quantifies the spectral content of flows that are not necessarily homogeneous. From…
Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection at high Rayleigh number exhibits turbulence superimposed on large-scale circulation. While buoyancy forces drive the flow at certain scales, how kinetic energy is transfers across the scales is not understood.…
Turbulence is an out-of-equilibrium flow state that is characterised by nonzero net fluxes of kinetic energy between different scales of the flow. These fluxes play a crucial role in the formation of characteristic flow structures in many…
Rapidly rotating turbulent flow is characterized by the emergence of columnar structures that are representative of quasi-two dimensional behavior of the flow. It is known that when energy is injected into the fluid at an intermediate scale…
Previously, using an incompressible von K\'arm\'an-Howarth formalism, the behavior of cross-scale energy transfer in magnetic reconnection and turbulence was found to be essentially identical to each other, independent of an external…
Data from Direct Numerical Simulations of disperse bubbly flows in a vertical channel are used to study the effect of the bubbles on the carrier-phase turbulence. A new method is developed, based on the barycentric map approach, that allows…
Energy dissipation in collisionless plasmas is a longstanding fundamental physics problem. Although it is well known that magnetic reconnection and turbulence are coupled and transport energy from system-size scales to sub-proton scales,…
It is known that rapidly rotating turbulent flows are characterized by the emergence of simultaneous upscale and downscale energy transfer. Indeed, both numerics and experiments show the formation of large-scale anisotropic vortices…
The inertial-range properties of quasi-stationary hydrodynamic turbulence under solid-body rotation are studied via high-resolution direct numerical simulations. For strong rotation the nonlinear energy cascade exhibits depletion and a…
The magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability (MRTI) governs plasma mixing and transport in a wide range of astrophysical and laboratory systems. Owing to computational constraints, MRTI is often studied using two-dimensional (2D) simulations,…
In this paper, we present an overview of concepts and data concerning inverse cascades of excitation towards scales larger than the forcing scale in a variety of contexts, from two-dimensional fluids and wave turbulence, to geophysical…
We investigate the role of small-scale structures in turbulent Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) flows through the application of preferential flow control targeting high vorticity or high strain-rate regions (Buzzicotti et al. 2020). Through numerical…
We investigate properties of the scale dependence and cross-scale transfer of kinetic energy in compressible three-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence, by means of two direct numerical simulations of decaying turbulence with initial Mach…
We investigate the locality of interactions in hydrodynamic turbulence using data from a direct numerical simulation on a grid of 1024^3 points; the flow is forced with the Taylor-Green vortex. An inertial range for the energy is obtained…
The role of baroclinicity, which arises from the misalignment of pressure and density gradients, is well-known in the vorticity equation, yet its role in the kinetic energy budget has never been obvious. Here, we show that baroclinicity…
In turbulent flows kinetic energy is spread by nonlinear interactions over a broad range of scales. Energy transfer may proceed either toward small scales or in the reverse direction. The latter case is peculiar of two-dimensional (2D)…
We use a coarse-graining approach to prove that inter-scale transfer of kinetic energy in compressible turbulence is dominated by local interactions. Locality here means that interactions between disparate scales decay at least as fast as a…
Rotating turbulence is an example of a three-dimensional system in which an inverse cascade of energy, from the small to the large scales, can be formed. While usually understood as a byproduct of the typical bidimensionalization of…
Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instabilities are prevalent in many physical regimes ranging from astrophysical to laboratory plasmas and have primarily been studied using fluid models, the majority of which have been ideal fluid models. This work is…
The properties of energy transfer in the kinetic range of plasma turbulence have fundamental implications on the turbulent heating of space and astrophysical plasmas. It was recently suggested that magnetic reconnection may be responsible…
