We summarize in this article the experiments which have been performed to test the
theoretical findings in stochastic thermodynamics such as fluctuation theorem, Jarzynski …

A statistical treatment of three-dimensional turbulent flow continues to pose a challenge to
theorists,. One suggestion invokes an analogy with equilibrium phase transitions. Here we …

In this review we discuss, from an experimental point of view, several concepts of statistical
mechanics for systems that are out of equilibrium either because they are driven by external …

We report experimental evidence of a global bifurcation on a highly turbulent von Kármán
flow. The mean flow presents multiple solutions: the canonical symmetric solution becomes …

Fluid turbulence occurs in a great variety of flow configurations. Much experimental and
numerical work has been devoted to a few typical flows, such as jets, boundary layers …

We study finite-size scaling of the roughness of signals in systems displaying Gaussian 1/f
power spectra. It is found that one of the extreme value distributions, the Fisher-Tippett …

In this paper, we consider the Langevin equation from an unusual point of view, that is as an
archetype for a dissipative system driven out of equilibrium by an external excitation. Using …

We study the probability density function for the fluctuations of the magnetic order parameter
in the low-temperature phase of the XY model of finite size. In two dimensions, this system is …

We study the transition from laminar flow to fully developed turbulence for an inertially driven
von Kármán flow between two counter-rotating large impellers fitted with curved blades over …
