We introduce a new method of statistical analysis to characterise the dynamics of turbulent fluids in two dimensions. We establish that, in equilibrium, the vortex distributions can be uniquely connected to the temperature of the vortex…
We investigate the process of formation of large-scale structures in a turbulent flow confined in a thin layer. By means of direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations, forced at an intermediate scale, we obtain a split of…
We investigate and clarify the notion of locality as it pertains to the cascades of two-dimensional turbulence. The mathematical framework underlying our analysis is the infinite system of balance equations that govern the generalized…
We study the statistics of velocity circulation in two-dimensional classical and quantum turbulence. We perform numerical simulations of the incompressible Navier-Stokes and the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equations for the direct and inverse…
We investigate the direct enstrophy cascade of two-dimensional decaying turbulence in a flowing soap film channel. We use a coarse-graining approach that allows us to resolve the nonlinear dynamics and scale-coupling simultaneously in space…
In the present work, we investigate a numerical one-dimensional solver to the Navier-Stokes equation that retains all terms, including both pressure and dissipation. Solutions to simple examples that illustrate the actions of the nonlinear…
High resolution numerical simulations of stationary inverse energy cascade in two-dimensional turbulence are presented. Deviations from Gaussianity of velocity differences statistics are quantitatively investigated. The level of statistical…
Rapidly rotating turbulent flow is characterized by the emergence of columnar structures that are representative of quasi-two dimensional behavior of the flow. It is known that when energy is injected into the fluid at an intermediate scale…
We present a spatio-temporal analysis of a statistically stationary rotating turbulence experiment, aiming to extract a signature of inertial waves, and to determine the scales and frequencies at which they can be detected. The analysis…
The NS equation is considered (in 2 & 3 dimensions) with a fixed forcing on large scale; the stationary states form a family of probability distributions on the fluid velocity fields depending on a parameter R (Reynolds number). It is…
We show that some statistical properties of forced two-dimensional turbulence have an important sensitivity to the form of large-scale dissipation which is required to damp the inverse cascade. We consider three models of large-scale…
We establish pointwise decay estimates for the velocity field of a steady two-dimensional Stokes flow around a rotating body via a new approach rather than analysis adopted in the previous literature. The novelty is to analyze the singular…
We study the evolution of velocity fluctuations due to an isolated spatio-temporal impulse using the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. The impulse is introduced as an external body force in incompressible channel flow at $Re_\tau=10000$.…
The Navier-Stokes (NS) equations as a turbulence model have been widely applied in lots of fields. The NS equations contain such a fundamental assumption that all small physical/artificial disturbances could be neglected. Is this assumption…
Numerical and physical experiments on the forced two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations show that transverse velocity differences are described by ``normal'' Kolmogorov scaling $<(\Delta v)^{2n}> \propto r^{2n/3}$ and obey a gaussian…
We derive the scale-by-scale uncertainty energy budget equation and demonstrate theoretically and computationally the presence of a self-similar equilibrium cascade of decorrelation in an inertial range of scales during the time range of…
We consider the evolution of a family of 2D dispersive turbulence models. The members of this family involve the nonlinear advection of a dynamically active scalar field, the locality of the streamfunction-scalar relation is denoted by…
We consider freely decaying two-dimensional isotropic turbulence. It is usually assumed that, in such turbulence, the energy spectrum at small wave number, takes the form, where is the two-dimensional version of Loitsyansky's integral. In…
The concept of inverse energy cascades has played a central role in the development of turbulence theory, with applications in two-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional flows. We examine the presence or absence of inverse energy cascades in…
The statistical mechanical description of two-dimensional inviscid fluid turbulence is reconsidered. Using this description, we make predictions about turbulent flow in a rapidly rotating laboratory annulus. Measurements on the continuously…
