Statistical properties of circulation encode relevant information about the multi-scale structure of turbulent cascades. Recent massive computational efforts have posed challenging theoretical issues, as the dependence of circulation…
Recent investigations of turbulent circulation fluctuations have uncovered substantial insights into the statistical organization of flow structures and revealed unexpected geometric features of turbulent intermittency. Of particular…
We investigate statistical properties of vorticity fluctuations in fully developed turbulence, which are known to exhibit a strong intermittent behavior. Taking as the starting point the Navier-Stokes equations with a random force term…
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…
By means of the multifractal analysis (MFA), the expressions of the probability density functions (PDFs) are unified in a compact analytical formula which is valid for various quantities in turbulence. It is shown that the formula can…
The transitional regime of plane channel flow is investigated {above} the transitional point below which turbulence is not sustained, using direct numerical simulation in large domains. Statistics of laminar-turbulent spatio-temporal…
We consider transition to strong turbulence in an infinite fluid stirred by a gaussian random force. The transition is {\bf defined} as a first appearance of anomalous scaling of normalized moments of velocity derivatives (dissipation…
The probability density functions (PDFs) for energy dissipation rates, created from time-series data of grid turbulence in a wind tunnel, are analyzed in a high precision by the theoretical formulae for PDFs within multifractal PDF theory…
Intermittency in fluid turbulence can be evidentiated through the analysis of Probability Distribution Functions (PDF) of velocity fluctuations, which display a strong non-gaussian behavior at small scales. In this paper we investigate the…
The turbulence observed in the scrape-off-layer of a tokamak is often characterized by intermittent events of bursty nature, a feature which raises concerns about the prediction of heat loads on the physical boundaries of the device. It…
Thin vortex tubes, with core sizes within the dissipation range, profuse in a homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow. Their intersections with an arbitrary plane define, as a mathematical construct, a dilute gas of localized,…
An analytical expression of probability density function (PDF) of velocity fluctuation is derived with the help of the statistics based on generalized entropy (the Tsallis entropy or the R\'{e}nyi entropy). It is revealed that the derived…
The statistical properties of the $E \times B$ flux in different types of plasma turbulence simulations are investigated using probability density distribution functions (PDF). The physics included in the models ranges from two dimensional…
This is the final version of a Thesis presented to the PostGrad Program in Physics of the Physics Institute of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), as a necessary requirement for the title of Ph.D. in Science (Physics). The…
This Letter provides a theoretical interpretation of numerically generated probability density functions (PDFs) of intermittent plasma transport events. Specifically, nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of ion-temperature-gradient turbulence…
There has been overwhelming evidence that coherent structures play a critical role in determining the overall transport in a variety of systems. We compute the probability distribution function (PDF) tails of momentum flux and heat flux in…
A hydrodynamic model of active, low Reynolds number suspensions, shows the emergence of an asymptotic state with a universal spectral scaling and non-Gaussian (intermittent) fluctuations in the velocity field. Such states arise when these…
The small-scale statistical properties of velocity circulation in classical homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows are assessed through a modeling framework that brings together the multiplicative cascade and the structural descriptions…
This work studies the effectiveness of several machine learning techniques for predicting extreme events occurring in the flow around an airfoil at low Reynolds. For certain Reynolds numbers the aerodynamic forces exhibit intermittent…
Turbulence problem is often considered as "the last unsolved problem of classical physics". It is due to strong interaction between velocity and/or velocity gradient fluctuations, a high Reynolds number flow is a fascinating mixture of…
