Cascades and transitions in turbulent flows

A Alexakis, L Biferale - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
Turbulent flows are characterized by the non-linear cascades of energy and other inviscid
invariants across a huge range of scales, from where they are injected to where they are …

Topological origin of equatorial waves

P Delplace, JB Marston, A Venaille - Science, 2017 - science.org
Topology sheds new light on the emergence of unidirectional edge waves in a variety of
physical systems, from condensed matter to artificial lattices. Waves observed in …

Quasi-two-dimensional turbulence

A Alexakis - Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics, 2023 - Springer
Many fluid-dynamical systems met in nature are quasi-two-dimensional: they are
constrained to evolve in approximately two dimensions with little or no variation along the …

[책][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 …

Phenomenology of buoyancy-driven turbulence: recent results

MK Verma, A Kumar, A Pandey - New Journal of Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we describe the recent developments in thefield of buoyancy-driven turbulence
with a focus on energy spectrum andflux. Scaling and numerical arguments show that the …

Flow reversals in turbulent convection via vortex reconnections

M Chandra, MK Verma - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
We employ detailed numerical simulations to probe the mechanism of flow reversals in two-
dimensional turbulent convection. We show that the reversals occur via a vortex …

Emergence of substructures inside the large-scale circulation induces transition in flow reversals in turbulent thermal convection

X Chen, SD Huang, KQ **a, HD ** - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019 - cambridge.org
We present an experimental study of the reversal of the large-scale circulation (LSC) in
quasi-two-dimensional turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection. It is found that there exists a …

Correlation of internal flow structure with heat transfer efficiency in turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection

A Xu, X Chen, F Wang, HD ** - Physics of Fluids, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
To understand how internal flow structures manifest themselves in the global heat transfer,
we study the correlation between different flow modes and the instantaneous Nusselt …

Tristable flow states and reversal of the large-scale circulation in two-dimensional circular convection cells

A Xu, X Chen, HD ** - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
We present a numerical study of the flow states and reversals of the large-scale circulation
(LSC) in a two-dimensional circular Rayleigh–Bénard cell. Long-time direct numerical …

B Podvin, A Sergent - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015 - cambridge.org
We consider the numerical simulation of Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a 2D square cell
filled with water () at a turbulent Rayleigh number of. We focus on the structures and …
