To understand the fundamental physical processes important for the evolution of solar rotation and distribution of chemical species, we provide theoretical predictions for particle mixing and momentum transport in the stably stratified…
The cascade of energy in turbulent flows, i.e., the transfer of kinetic energy from large to small flow scales or vice versa (backward cascade), is the cornerstone of most theories and models of turbulence since the 1940s. Yet,…
A refined cascade model for kinetic turbulence in weakly collisional astrophysical plasmas is presented that includes both the transition between weak and strong turbulence and the effect of nonlocal interactions on the nonlinear transfer…
Laminar-turbulent pattern formation is a distinctive feature of the intermittency regime in subcritical plane shear flows. By performing extensive numerical simulations of the plane channel flow, we show that the pattern emerges from a…
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…
We present an approach to turbulence closure based on mixing length theory with three-dimensional fluctuations against a two-dimensional background. This model is intended to be rapidly computable for implementation in stellar evolution…
Suspensions of active agents with nematic interactions exhibit complex spatio-temporal dynamics such as mesoscale turbulence. Since the Reynolds number of microscopic flows is very small on the scale of individual agents, inertial effects…
We investigate the coupling effect of buoyancy and shear based on an annular centrifugal Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (ACRBC) system in which two cylinders rotate with an angular velocity difference. Direct numerical simulations are…
An experimental analysis of small-scales anisotropic turbulent fluctuations has been performed in two different flows. We analyzed anisotropic properties of an homogeneous shear flows and of a turbulent boundary layer by means of two…
Turbulent flows are out-of-equilibrium because the energy supply at large scales and its dissipation by viscosity at small scales create a net transfer of energy among all scales. Here, the energy cascade is approximated by a combined…
Nonlinear triadic interactions are at the heart of our understanding of turbulence. In flows where waves are present modes must not only be in a triad to interact, but their frequencies must also satisfy an extra condition: the interactions…
The presence of a dispersed phase can significantly modulate the drag in turbulent systems. We derived a conserved quantity that characterizes the radial transport of azimuthal momentum in the fluid-fluid two-phase Taylor-Couette…
We investigate how the pressure in fluctuating shear flow depends on the shear rate $S$ and on the system size $L$ by studying fluctuating hydrodynamics under shear conditions. We derive anomalous forms of the pressure for two limiting…
In many plasma systems, introducing a small background shear flow is enough to stabilize the system linearly. The nonlinear dynamics are much less sensitive to sheared flows than the average linear growthrates, and very small amplitude…
The vortices that appear repeatedly and suggest turbulent dynamics are crucial to the understanding of sheared turbulence. These vortices produce order out of chaos, benefiting the turbulence modelling that focuses only on statistically…
Scaling and structural evolutions are contemplated in a new perspective for turbulent channel flows. The total integrated turbulence kinetic energy remains constant when normalized by the friction velocity squared, while the total…
In this numerical study, measurements of the contact forces inside a periodic two-dimensional sheared system of soft frictional particles are reported. The distribution of normalized normal forces exhibits a gradual broadening with…
In this note, we critically discuss the issue of the possible finiteness of the turbulence lifetime in subcritical transition to turbulence in shear flows, which attracted a lot of interest recently. We briefly review recent experimental…
We investigate the dynamics of linear perturbations in Keplerian flow under external stochastic force. To abstract from the details of flow structure and boundary conditions, we consider the problem in the shearing box approximation. An…
The interaction between near-wall turbulence and wall curvature is described for the incompressible flow in a plane channel with a small concave-convex-concave bump on the bottom wall, with height comparable to the wall-normal location of…
