This study analyzes the temperature fluctuations in incompressible homogeneous isotropic turbulence through the finite scale Lyapunov analysis of the relative motion between two fluid particles. The analysis provides an explanation of the…

We develop a convergent variational perturbation theory for the frequency of time-periodic solutions of nonlinear dynamical systems. The power of the theory is illustrated by applying it to the Duffing oscillator.

Recent studies have brought into question the view that at sufficiently high Reynolds number turbulence is an asymptotic state. We present the first direct observation of the decay of turbulent states in Taylor-Couette flow with lifetimes…

We present a phenomenological model for the mixing length used in turbulence models. It has the advantage of naturally accounting for the object's geometry while satisfying the standard symmetries of the Navier-Stokes equations. We employ…

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…

In recent work, we have proposed a theory for the derivation of an exact nonlinear dispersion relation for elastic wave propagation which here we consider for a thin rod (linearly nondispersive) and a thick rod (linearly dispersive). The…

We investigate three different methods for systematically approximating the diffusion coefficient of a deterministic random walk on the line which contains dynamical correlations that change irregularly under parameter variation. Capturing…

In this paper we argue that differential rotation can possibly sustain hydrodynamic turbulence in the absence of magnetic field. We explain why the non-linearities of the hydrodynamic equations (i.e. turbulent diffusion) should not be…

We study a model of a general compressible viscous fluid subject to the Coulomb friction law boundary condition. For this model, we introduce a dissipative formulation and prove the existence of dissipative solutions. The proof of this…

A closure theory is developed for inhomogeneous turbulent flow, which enables a systematic derivation of the turbulence constitutive relations without relying on any empirical parameters. Renormalized-perturbation approximation is performed…

In this article, we prove the Eyring-Kramers formula for non-reversible metastable diffusion processes that have a Gibbs invariant measure. Our result indicates that non-reversible processes exhibit faster metastable transitions between…

In this paper we present a new model for modeling the diffusion and relative dispersion of particles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. We use an Heisenberg-like Hamiltonian to incorporate spatial correlations between fluid particles,…

The purpose of this brief comunication is to improve a hypothesis of the previous work of the author (de Divitiis, Theor Comput Fluid Dyn, doi:10.1007/s00162-010-0211-9) dealing with the finite--scale Lyapunov analysis of isotropic…

Diffusion of a solute along a channel is enhanced by hydrodynamic flow, a phenomenon known as Taylor dispersion. In microfluidic applications, the compliance of the channel boundaries modifies the hydrodynamic flow and thus solutal…

Following our first report (A. Groisman and V. Steinberg, $\sl Nature$ $\bf 405$, 53 (2000)) we present an extended account of experimental observations of elasticity induced turbulence in three different systems: a swirling flow between…

A flow generator is described in which homogeneous axisymmetric turbulent air flows with varying and fully controllable degrees of anisotropy, including the much studied isotropic case, are generated by the combined agitations produced by…

This paper is devoted to sharp interpolation inequalities on the sphere and their proof using flows. The method explains some rigidity results and proves uniqueness in related semilinear elliptic equations. Nonlinear flows allow to cover…

We study an ad hoc extension of the Lattice-Boltzmann method that allows the simulation of non-Newtonian fluids described by generalized Newtonian models. We extensively test the accuracy of the method for the case of shear-thinning and…

We present a perturbation solution for a pressure-driven fluid flow in a rotating toroidal channel. The analysis shows the difference between the solutions of full and simplified equations studied earlier. The result is found to be reliable…

The majority of coastal flows are characterized by turbulence, rendering the application of shallow water equations an inadequate approach for their accurate description. This paper presents a theory for characterizing accelerated coastal…
