In three-dimensional turbulence, information of turbulent fluctuations at large scales is propagated to small scales. Here, we investigate the relation between the information flow and turbulent fluctuations described by a shell model. We…
We investigate the nature of information flow in turbulence from an information-thermodynamic viewpoint. For the fully developed three-dimensional fluid turbulence described by the fluctuating Navier-Stokes equation, we prove that…
A theory of non-homogeneous turbulence is developed and is applied to boundary-free shear flows. The theory introduces assumptions of inner and outer similarity for the non-homogeneity of two-point statistics and predicts power law scalings…
Turbulent flows in three dimensions are characterized by the transport of energy from large to small scales through the energy cascade. Since the small scales are the result of the nonlinear dynamics across the scales, they are often…
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…
We investigate the kinetic energy cascade in zero-temperature quantum turbulence. Using simple theoretical arguments and unprecedented numerical simulations, we unveil an universal mechanism transferring energy directly from large to very…
Turbulent flows, ubiquitous in nature and engineering, comprise fluctuations over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. While flows with fluctuations in thermodynamic variables are much more common, much less is known about these…
Shell model turbulence is a simplified mathematical framework that captures essential features of incompressible fluid turbulence such as the energy cascade, intermittency and anomalous scaling of the fluid observables. We perform a…
A landmark of out-of-equilibrium physics is Kolmogorov's phenomenological theory of turbulence. However, the past 20 years have provided evidence of a new, universal type of turbulence cascade, which does not abide to Kolmogorov physics. To…
Breaking waves entrain gas beneath the surface. The wave-breaking process energizes turbulent fluctuations that break bubbles in quick succession to generate a wide range of bubble sizes. Understanding this generation mechanism paves the…
We propose a new perspective on Turbulence using Information Theory. We compute the entropy rate of a turbulent velocity signal and we particularly focus on its dependence on the scale. We first report how the entropy rate is able to…
Many questions remain in turbulence research---and related fields---about the underlying physical processes that transfer scalar quantities, such as the kinetic energy, between different length scales. Measurement of an ensemble-averaged…
Turbulence is a fundamental flow phenomenon, typically anisotropic at large scales and approximately isotropic at small scales. The classical Kolmogorov scaling laws (2/3, -5/3 and 4/5) have been well-established for turbulence without…
In the standard cascade picture of 3D turbulent fluid flows, energy is input at a constant rate at large scales. Energy is then transferred to smaller scales by an intermittent process that has been the focus of a vast literature. However,…
We investigate the transfer of energy from large scales to small scales in fully developed forced three-dimensional MHD-turbulence by analyzing the results of direct numerical simulations in the absence of an externally imposed uniform…
Turbulence exhibits significant velocity fluctuations even if the scale is much larger than the scale of the energy supply. Since any spatial correlation is negligible, these large-scale fluctuations have many degrees of freedom and are…
A major challenge in turbulence research is to understand from first principles the origin of anomalous scaling of the velocity fluctuations in high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows. One important idea was proposed by Kolmogorov [J. Fluid…
In the standard picture of fully-developed turbulence, highly intermittent hydrodynamic fields are nonlinearly coupled across scales, where local energy cascades from large scales into dissipative vortices and large density gradients.…
We relate the intermittent fluctuations of velocity gradients in turbulence to a whole range of local dissipation scales generalizing the picture of a single mean dissipation length. The statistical distribution of these local dissipation…
We investigate the effect of a dispersed bubble phase on forced homogeneous and isotropic turbulence using high-resolution high-performance simulations based on the lattice Boltzmann method. While the classical Kolmogorov energy cascade is…
