Scaling laws for the energy transfer in space plasma turbulence

R Marino, L Sorriso-Valvo - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
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 …

Rayleigh–Taylor and Richtmyer–Meshkov instability induced flow, turbulence, and mixing. II

Y Zhou - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known

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 …

Turbulence theories and statistical closure approaches

Y Zhou - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
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 …

Scale decomposition in compressible turbulence

H Aluie - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2013 - Elsevier
This work presents a rigorous framework based on coarse-graining to analyze highly
compressible turbulence. We show how the requirement that viscous effects on the …

Resolving the paradox of oceanic large-scale balance and small-scale mixing

R Marino, A Pouquet, D Rosenberg - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
A puzzle of oceanic dynamics is the contrast between the observed geostrophic balance,
involving gravity, pressure gradient, and Coriolis forces, and the necessary turbulent …

Conservative cascade of kinetic energy in compressible turbulence

H Aluie, S Li, H Li - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The physical nature of compressible turbulence is of fundamental importance in a variety of

Geophysical turbulence and the duality of the energy flow across scales

A Pouquet, R Marino - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
The ocean and the atmosphere, and hence the climate, are governed at large scale by
interactions between pressure gradient and Coriolis and buoyancy forces. This leads to a …
