We present experimental evidence that the motion of point defects in thermal convection patterns in an inclined fluid layer is well-described by Tsallis statistics with an entropic index $q \approx 1.5$. The dynamical properties of the…
We derive equations for fluid dynamics from a non-extensive Boltzmann transport equation consistent with Tsallis' non-extensive entropy formula. We evaluate transport coefficients employing the relaxation time approximation and investigate…
The Recent Fluid Deformation Closure (RFDC) model of lagrangian turbulence is recast in path-integral language within the framework of the Martin-Siggia-Rose functional formalism. In order to derive analytical expressions for the…
In this paper, a generalized Brownian motion model has been applied to describe the relative particle dispersion problem in more realistic turbulent flows. The fluctuating pressure forces acting on a fluid particle are taken to be a colored…
Lagrangian acceleration statistics in a fully developed turbulent channel flow at $Re_\tau = 1440$ are investigated, based on tracer particle tracking in experiments and direct numerical simulations. The evolution with wall distance of the…
In a recent letter, Christian Beck described a theoretical link between a family of stochastic differential equations and the probability density functions (PDF) derived from the formalism of nonextensive statistical mechanics. He applied…
Two mechanisms are considered responsible for the turbulence modification due to suspended particles in a turbulent gas-particle suspension. Turbulence augmentation is due to the enhancement of fluctuations by wakes behind particles,…
A dynamical systems approach to turbulence envisions the flow as a trajectory through a high-dimensional state space transiently visiting the neighbourhoods of unstable simple invariant solutions (E. Hopf, Commun. Appl. Maths 1, 303, 1948).…
This paper exposes a novel exploratory formalism, which end goal is the numerical simulation of the dynamics of a cloud of particles weakly or strongly coupled with a turbulent fluid. Giventhe large panel of expertise of the list of…
Inertial particle data from three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of particle-laden homogeneous isotropic turbulence at high Reynolds number are analyzed using Voronoi tessellation of the particle positions, considering different…
The probability density function of single-point velocity fluctuations in turbulence is studied systematically using Fourier coefficients in the energy-containing range. In ideal turbulence where energy-containing motions are random and…
This paper is devoted to a statistical analysis of the fluctuations of velocity and acceleration produced by a random distribution of point vortices in two-dimensional turbulence. We show that the velocity probability density function…
The Lagrangian probability-density-function model, proposed in Part I for dense particle-laden turbulent flows, is validated here against Eulerian-Lagrangian direct numerical simulation (EL) data for different homogeneous flows, namely…
The probability distribution functions of the circulation of velocity in three-dimensional decaying isotropic turbulence are examined by the database of the numerical simulation based on the pseudospectral method. It is shown that the…
Predicting the dynamics of turbulent fluid flows has long been a central goal of science and engineering. Yet, even with modern computing technology, accurate simulation of all but the simplest turbulent flow-fields remains impossible: the…
We report recent results from a high resolution numerical study of fluid particles transported by a fully developed turbulent flow. Single particle trajectories were followed for a time range spanning more than three decades, from less than…
The mean square particle acceleration in high Reynolds number turbulence is dominated by the mean square pressure gradient. Recent experiments by Voth et al [Phys. Fluids {\bf 10}, 2268 (1998)] indicate that this quantity, when normalized…
We study the large $\lambda$ limit of the loop-dependent characteristic functional $Z(\lambda)=<\exp(i\lambda \oint_c \vec v \cdot d \vec x)>$, related to the probability density function (PDF) of the circulation around a closed contour…
This paper presents numerical simulations of test particle Fermi acceleration at relativistic shocks of Lorentz factor Gamma_sh = 2-60, using a realistic downstream magnetic structure obtained from the shock jump conditions. The upstream…
The physics of particle acceleration in turbulent plasmas is a topic of broad interest, which is making rapid progress thanks to dedicated, large-scale numerical experiments. The first part of this paper presents an effective theory of…
