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 …

Improved assessment of the statistical stability of turbulent flows using extended Orr–Sommerfeld stability analysis

VK Markeviciute, RR Kerswell - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
The concept of statistical stability is central to Malkus's 1956 attempt to predict the mean
profile in shear flow turbulence. Here we discuss how his original attempt to assess this–an …

Direct statistical simulation of the Busse annulus

JS Oishi, KJ Burns, JB Marston… - Journal of Fluid …, 2022 - cambridge.org
We consider direct statistical simulation (DSS) of a paradigm system of convection
interacting with mean flows. In the Busse annulus model, zonal jets are generated through …
