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 …

Ocean circulation kinetic energy: Reservoirs, sources, and sinks

R Ferrari, C Wunsch - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2009 - annualreviews.org
The ocean circulation is a cause and consequence of fluid scale interactions ranging from
millimeters to more than 10,000 km. Although the wind field produces a large energy input to …

INTERNAL GRAVITY WAVES: From Instabilities to Turbulence

C Staquet, J Sommeria - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2002 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We review the mechanisms of steepening and breaking for internal gravity waves
in a continuous density stratification. After discussing the instability of a plane wave of …

Weak inertial-wave turbulence theory

S Galtier - Physical Review E, 2003 - APS
A weak wave turbulence theory is established for incompressible fluids under rapid rotation
using a helicity decomposition, and the kinetic equations for energy E and helicity H are …

Stratified turbulence dominated by vortical motion

ML Waite, P Bartello - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2004 - cambridge.org
We present numerical simulations of stably stratified, vortically forced turbulence at a wide
range of Froude numbers. Large-scale vortical forcing was chosen to represent geophysical …

Wave turbulence in incompressible Hall magnetohydrodynamics

S Galtier - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2006 - cambridge.org
We investigate the steepening of the magnetic fluctuation power law spectra observed in the
inner Solar wind for frequencies higher than 0.5 Hz. This high frequency part of the spectrum …

Internal wave turbulence in a stratified fluid with and without eigenmodes of the experimental domain

N Lanchon, DO Mora, E Monsalve, PP Cortet - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
We present laboratory experiments on turbulence in a linearly stratified fluid driven by an
ensemble of internal gravity waves which approaches statistical homogeneity and …

Toward regional characterizations of the oceanic internal wavefield

KL Polzin, YV Lvov - Reviews of geophysics, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Many major oceanographic internal wave observational programs of the last 4 decades are
reanalyzed in order to characterize variability of the deep ocean internal wavefield. The …

Direct and inverse cascades in turbulent Bose-Einstein condensates

Y Zhu, B Semisalov, G Krstulovic, S Nazarenko - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
When a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is driven out of equilibrium, density waves interact
nonlinearly and trigger turbulent cascades. In a turbulent BEC, energy is transferred toward …

Experimental observations of internal wave turbulence transition in a stratified fluid

C Rodda, C Savaro, G Davis, J Reneuve, P Augier… - Physical Review …, 2022 - APS
Recent developments of the weak turbulence theory applied to internal waves exhibit a
power-law solution of the kinetic energy equation close to the oceanic Garrett-Munk …
