One characteristic trait of space plasmas is the multi-scale dynamics resulting from non-
linear transfers and conversions of various forms of energy. Routinely evidenced in a range …

The understanding of fluid turbulence has considerably progressed in recent years. The
application of the methods of statistical mechanics to the description of the motion of fluid …

Air quality is concerned with pollutants in both the gas phase and solid or liquid phases. The
latter are referred to as aerosols, which are multifaceted agents affecting air quality, weather …

▪ Abstract Passive scalar behavior is important in turbulent mixing, combustion, and pollution
and provides impetus for the study of turbulence itself. The conceptual framework of the …

This book presents an introduction to, and modern account of, magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) turbulence, an active field both in general turbulence theory and in various areas of …

Chemotactic bacteria rely on local concentration gradients to guide them towards the source
of a nutrient. Such local cues pointing towards the location of the source are not always …

The Lagrangian description of turbulence is characterized by a unique conceptual simplicity
and by an immediate connection with the physics of dispersion and mixing. In this article, we …
