Turbulent flows play an important role in many aspects of nature and technics from sea storms to transport of particles or chemicals. Transport of energy from large scales to small fluctuations is the essential feature of three-dimensional…
This work presents a rigorous framework based on coarse-graining to analyze highly compressible turbulence. We show how the requirement that viscous effects on the dynamics of large-scale momentum and kinetic energy be negligible ---an…
We study the turbulent flow of the density-stratified fluid around a small translating (either passively or self-propelled) particle. It was found recently [A. M. Ardekani and R. Stocker, Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 105, 084502 (2010)] that…
We present a finite element framework for the numerical prediction of cavitating turbulent flows interacting with flexible structures. The vapor-fluid phases are captured through a homogeneous mixture model, with a scalar transport equation…
The transition from laminar to turbulent flow is an immensely important topic that is still being studied. Here we show that complex plasmas, i.e., microparticles immersed in a low temperature plasma, make it possible to study the…
We consider the case of finite-size spherical particles which are settling under gravity in a homogeneous turbulent background flow. Turbulence is forced with the aid of the random forcing method of Eswaran and Pope [Comput. Fluids,…
This paper presents a novel methodology for the direct numerical modeling and simulation of turbulent flows. The kinetic model equation is firstly extended to turbulent flow with the account of coupled evolution of kinetic, thermal, and…
Convection is one of the most important mixing processes in stellar interiors. Hydrodynamic mass entrainment can bring fresh fuel from neighboring stable layers into a convection zone, modifying the structure and evolution of the star.…
Material elements - which are lines, surfaces, or volumes behaving as passive, non-diffusive markers - provide an inherently geometric window into the intricate dynamics of chaotic flows. Their stretching and folding dynamics has immediate…
In this paper, we propose an approach for simulating wall-bounded incompressible turbulent flows by integrating the technology of random vortex method with the core principles of large-eddy simulations (LES). In particular, we employ the…
We present experimental evidence for a double cascade of kinetic energy in a statistically stationary rotating turbulence experiment. Turbulence is generated by a set of vertical flaps which continuously injects velocity fluctuations…
Direct numerical simulations of fully-developed turbulent channel flows with wavy walls are undertaken. The wavy walls, skewed with respect to the mean flow direction, are introduced as a means of emulating a Spatial Stokes Layer (SSL)…
A plane turbulent mixing in a shear flow of an ideal homogeneous fluid confined between two relatively close rigid walls is considered. The character of the flow is determined by interaction of vortices arising at the nonlinear stage of the…
The turbulent flow within and above a sparse canopy is investigated using direct numerical simulations. The balance of Reynolds to viscous stresses within the canopy is observed to be similar to that over a smooth wall. From this, a scaling…
The predictive power of mean-field theory is emphasized by comparing theory with simulations under controlled conditions. The recently developed test-field method is used to extract turbulent transport coefficients both in kinematic as well…
Almost all investigations of turbulent flows in academia and in the industry utilize some degree of turbulence modeling. Of the available approaches to turbulence modeling Reynolds Stress Models have the highest potential to replicate…
Intercluster medium is expected to be turbulent with turbulence being superAlfvenic at large scales. Magnetic fields substantially modify the turbulent cascade when the turbulence reaches the scales at which the fluctuation velocity gets…
Radiative turbulent mixing layers are expected to form pervasively at the phase boundaries in multiphase astrophysical systems. This inherently small scale structure is dynamically crucial because it directly regulates the mass, momentum…
Polymeric turbulence, flows of fluids with dilute polymer additives at high Reynolds numbers, exhibits striking deviations from the Kolmogorovean behaviour of Newtonian turbulence. Recent experiments as well as simulations have uncovered a…
We analyse the scaling properties of the energy spectra in fully developed incompressible turbulence in forced, rotating fluids in three dimensions (3D), which are believed to be characterised by universal scaling exponents in the inertial…
