Anomalous diffusion is the fundamental ansatz of phenomenological theories of passive scalar turbulence, and has been confirmed numerically and experimentally to an extraordinary extent. The purpose of this survey is to discuss our recent…
The fluctuation scaling law has universally been observed in a wide variety of phenomena. For counting processes describing the number of events occurred during time intervals, it is expressed as a power function relationship between the…
We present results of direct numerical simulations of passive scalar advection and diffusion in turbulent rotating flows. Scaling laws and the development of anisotropy are studied in spectral space, and in real space using an axisymmetric…
Application of "complete scaling" [Kim et al., Phys. Rev. E 67, 061506 (2003); Anisimov and Wang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 25703 (2006)] to the interfacial behavior of fluids shows that Tolman's length, a curvature correction to the surface…
We find actual evidence, relying upon vorticity time series taken in a high Reynolds number atmospheric experiment, that to a very good approximation the surface boundary layer flow may be described, in a statistical sense and under certain…
We report on the computer study of a lattice system that relaxes from a metastable state. Under appropriate nonequilibrium randomness, relaxation occurs by avalanches, i.e., the model evolution is discontinuous and displays many scales in a…
In 2005, Wyart et al. (Europhys. Lett., 72 (2005) 486) showed that the low frequency vibrational properties of jammed amorphous sphere packings can be understood in terms of a length scale, called l*, that diverges as the system becomes…
The verification of whether small-scale turbulence is isotropic remains a grand challenge. The difficulty arises because the presence of small-scale anisotropy is tied to the dissipation tensor, whose components require the full…
The phenomenology of the scaling behavior of higher order structure functions of velocity differences across a scale $R$ in turbulence should be built around the irreducible representations of the rotation symmetry group. Every irreducible…
Recent discussion of the possibility to study intermittency in individual events of high multiplicity by A. Bialas and myself is reported. In the framework of $\alpha-$model it is found that, for a cascade long enough, the dispersion of…
Turbulence is generally associated with universal power-law spectra in scale ranges without significant drive or damping. Although many examples of turbulent systems do not exhibit such an inertial range, power-law spectra may still be…
In interstellar medium studies, separating ordered and random velocity or magnetic fields is essential for interpreting turbulence in both simulations and observations. We investigate how the choice of averaging scale affects the…
The statistical properties of turbulence are considered to be universal at sufficiently small length scales, i. e., independent of boundary conditions and large-scale forces acting on the fluid. Analyzing data from numerical simulations of…
Model of a passive scalar field advected by the compressible Gaussian strongly anisotropic velocity field with the covariance $\propto \delta(t-t^{\prime})|{\bf x}-{\bf x^{\prime}}|^{2\epsilon}$ is studied by using the field theoretic…
For more than five decades, a notable spread in the low frequencies of velocity and temperature spectra, scaled using inertial subrange properties and Monin-Obukhov similarity theory, has been observed in unstable stratification. A large…
The multifractal theory of turbulence is used to investigate the energy cascade in the Northwestern Atlantic ocean. The statistics of singularity exponents of velocity gradients computed from in situ measurements are used to show that the…
High-resolution numerical simulations are utilized to examine isotropic turbulence in a compressible fluid when long wavelength velocity fluctuations approach light speed. Spectral analysis reveals an inertial sub-range of relativistic…
On certain self-similar substrates the time behavior of a random walk is modulated by logarithmic periodic oscillations on all time scales. We show that if disorder is introduced in a way that self-similarity holds only in average, the…
A three-layer asymptotic structure for turbulent pipe flow is proposed, revealing in terms of intermediate variables, the existence of a Reynolds-number invariant logarithmic region. It provides a theoretical foundation for addressing…
We study a discrete model of an heterogeneous elastic line with internal disorder, submitted to thermal fluctuations. The monomers are connected through random springs with independent and identically distributed elastic constants drawn…
