[BOOK][B] Physics of buoyant flows: from instabilities to turbulence

MK Verma - 2018 - World Scientific
Hydrodynamic flows exhibit turbulent behaviour which is not well understood till date. When
a fluid is in a gravitational field, the flow becomes even more complex due to the gravity …

Odd viscosity suppresses intermittency in direct turbulent cascades

S Chen, XM De Wit, M Fruchart, F Toschi, V Vitelli - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Intermittency refers to the broken self-similarity of turbulent flows caused by anomalous
spatiotemporal fluctuations. In this Letter, we ask how intermittency is affected by a …
