Understanding and predicting turbulent flow phenomena remain a challenge for both theory
and applications. The nonlinear and nonlocal character of small-scale turbulence can be …

When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

Turbulence in fluid flows is characterized by a wide range of interacting scales. Since the
scale range increases as some power of the flow Reynolds number, a faithful simulation of …

We revisit the issue of whether thermal fluctuations are relevant for incompressible fluid
turbulence and estimate the scale at which they become important. As anticipated by …

Turbulent fluid flows are ubiquitous in nature and technology, and are mathematically
described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. A hallmark of turbulence is …

Building upon the intrinsic properties of Navier-Stokes dynamics, namely the prevalence of
intense vortical structures and the interrelationship between vorticity and strain rate, we …

The electric submersible pump (ESP) is a crucial apparatus utilized for lifting in the oil
extraction process. Its lifting capacity is enhanced by the multi-stage tandem structure, but …

We seek to understand the kinetic energy spectrum in the dissipation range of fully
developed turbulence. The data are obtained by direct numerical simulations (DNS) of …

Sustained and rapid advances in computing have enabled the conduct of direct numerical
simulations (DNS) at increasing problem sizes and higher levels of physical realism, which …

Fluid flows are intrinsically characterized via the topology and dynamics of underlying vortex
lines. Turbulence in common fluids like water and air, mathematically described by the …
