Polymeric turbulence, flows of fluids with dilute polymer additives at high Reynolds numbers, exhibits striking deviations from the Kolmogorovean behaviour of Newtonian turbulence. Recent experiments as well as simulations have uncovered a…
Quantifying transport by strongly stratified turbulence in low Prandtl number ($Pr$) fluids is critically important for the development of better models for the structure and evolution of stellar and planetary interiors. Motivated by recent…
According to the celebrated Bolgiano--Obukhov \citep{Bolgiano_1959,Obukhov_1959} phenomenology for moderately stably stratified turbulence, the energy spectrum in the inertial range shows a dual scaling; the kinetic energy follows (i) $\sim…
We study experimentally the spatial distribution, settling, and interaction of sub-Kolmogorov inertial particles with homogeneous turbulence. Utilizing a zero-mean-flow air turbulence chamber, we drop size-selected solid particles and study…
To study subregions of a turbulence velocity field, a long record of velocity data of grid turbulence is divided into smaller segments. For each segment, we calculate statistics such as the mean rate of energy dissipation and the mean…
Consider the dynamics of a gas bubble in an inviscid, compressible liquid with surface tension. Kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions couple the bubble surface deformation dynamics with the dynamics of waves in the fluid. This system…
Recently, direct numerical simulations (DNS) of stably stratified turbulence have shown that as the Prandtl number ($Pr$) is increased from 1 to 7, the mean turbulent potential energy dissipation rate (TPE-DR) drops dramatically, while the…
On the basis of (i) Particle Image Velocimetry data of a Turbulent Boundary Layer with large field of view and good spatial resolution and (ii) a mathematical relation between the energy spectrum and specifically modeled flow structures, we…
The dimensionless kinetic energy dissipation rate C_epsilon is estimated from numerical simulations of statistically stationary isotropic box turbulence that is slightly compressible. The Taylor microscale Reynolds number Re_lambda range is…
Statistical characteristics of freely decaying two-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence at high Reynolds numbers are numerically studied. In particular, numerical experiments (with resolution up to $8192\times 8192$) provide a Kraichnan-type…
The dynamics of velocity fluctuations, governed by the one-dimensional Burgers equation, driven by a white-in-time random force with the spatial spectrum $\overline{|f(k)|^2}\proptok^{-1}$, is considered. High-resolution numerical…
Turbulent drag of an oscillating microsphere, that is levitating in superfluid $^4$He at mK temperatures, is unstable slightly above a critical velocity amplitude $v_c$. The lifetime $\tau$ of the turbulent state is determined by the number…
We report results from the first systematic Lagrangian experimental investigation in the regime of very light (air bubbles in water) and large particles (D/{\eta} >> 1) in turbulence. Using a traversing camera setup and particle tracking,…
For wall turbulence, there has been predicted a range of streamwise wavenumbers $k_x$ such that the spectral density of streamwise velocity fluctuations is proportional to $k_x^{-1}$. The existence or nonexistence of this $k_x^{-1}$ law is…
Following the idea that dissipation in turbulence at high Reynolds number is by events singular in space-time and described by solutions of the inviscid Euler equations, we draw the conclusion that in such flows scaling laws should depend…
This paper continue earlier investigations on the decay of Burgers turbulence in one dimension from Gaussian random initial conditions of the power-law spectral type $E_0(k)\sim|k|^n$. Depending on the power $n$, different characteristic…
Asymptotically large Reynolds number hydrodynamic turbulence is characterized by multi-scaling of moments of velocity increments and spatial derivatives. With decreasing Reynolds number toward $R_{\lambda}=R^{tr}_{\lambda}\approx 9.0$, the…
The way the increment statistics of turbulent velocity fluctuations scale with the increment size is a centerpiece of turbulence theories. We report data on decaying turbulence in the Max Planck Variable Density Turbulence Tunnel (VDTT),…
The feedback forces exerted by particles suspended in a turbulent flow is shown to lead to a new scaling law for velocity fluctuations associated to a power-spectra $\propto k^{-2}$. The mechanism at play relies on a direct transfer of…
We study experimentally the impulse response of a cylinder wake below the critical Reynolds number of the B\'enard-von K\'arm\'an instability. In this subcritical regime, a localized inhomogeneous region of convective instability exists…
