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 …

Recent developments in theories of inhomogeneous and anisotropic turbulence

JB Marston, SM Tobias - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Understanding inhomogeneous and anisotropic fluid flows requires mathematical and
computational tools that are tailored to such flows and distinct from methods used to …

Helicity dynamics, inverse, and bidirectional cascades in fluid and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence: a brief review

A Pouquet, D Rosenberg, JE Stawarz… - Earth and Space …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
We briefly review helicity dynamics, inverse and bidirectional cascades in fluid and
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, with an emphasis on the latter. The energy of a …

Fluctuation-induced transitions in anisotropic two-dimensional turbulence

L Xu, A van Kan, C Liu, E Knobloch - Physical Review Fluids, 2024 - APS
Two-dimensional (2D) turbulence features an inverse energy cascade that produces large-
scale flow structures such as large-scale vortices (LSVs) and unidirectional jets. We …

Turbulence statistics in a two-dimensional vortex condensate

A Frishman, C Herbert - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
Disentangling the evolution of a coherent mean-flow and turbulent fluctuations, interacting
through the nonlinearity of the Navier-Stokes equations, is a central issue in fluid mechanics …

Kinetic theory of two-dimensional point vortices and fluctuation–dissipation theorem

PH Chavanis - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2023 - Springer
We complete the kinetic theory of two-dimensional (2D) point vortices initiated in previous
works. We use a simpler and more physical formalism. We consider a system of 2D point …
Flow patterns and energy spectra in forced quasi-two-dimensional turbulence: effect of system size and dam** rate

Phase transitions in anisotropic turbulence

A van Kan - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear …, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
Turbulence is a widely observed state of fluid flows, characterized by complex, nonlinear
interactions between motions across a broad spectrum of length and time scales. While …

Two-dimensional turbulence with local interactions: statistics of the condensate

A Svirsky, C Herbert, A Frishman - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Two-dimensional turbulence self-organizes through a process of energy accumulation at
large scales, forming a coherent flow termed a condensate. We study the condensate in a …
