Variable energy flux in turbulence

MK Verma - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
In three-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence forced at large length scales, a constant
energy flux Π u flows from large scales to intermediate scales, and then to small scales. It is …

Revisiting Reynolds and Nusselt numbers in turbulent thermal convection

S Bhattacharya, MK Verma, R Samtaney - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org

Bolgiano-Obukhov spectrum and mixing efficiency in stably stratified turbulence

S Alam, MK Verma, P Joshi - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
In this paper, using a shell model, we simulate highly turbulent stably stratified flow for weak
to moderate stratification at unitary Prandtl number. We investigate the energy spectra and …

Variable energy fluxes and exact relations in Magnetohydrodynamics turbulence

M Verma, M Sharma, S Chatterjee, S Alam - Fluids, 2021 - mdpi.com
In magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), there is a transfer of energy from the velocity field to the
magnetic field in the inertial range itself. As a result, the inertial-range energy fluxes of …

Taylor's frozen-in hypothesis for magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and solar wind

MK Verma - Physics of Plasmas, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
In hydrodynamics, Taylor's frozen-in hypothesis connects the wavenumber spectrum to the
frequency spectrum of a time series measured in real space. In this paper, we generalize …

Turbulent Drag Reduction in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence and Dynamo from Energy Flux Perspectives

MK Verma, MK Sharma, S Chatterjee - arXiv preprint arXiv:2301.01281, 2022 - arxiv.org
In this review, we describe turbulent drag reduction in a variety of flows using a universal
framework of energy flux. In a turbulent flow with dilute polymers and magnetic field, the …

[HTML][HTML] A non-equilibrium Alfvénic state of the Langevin system for single particles reproduces the linear relation between the cross helicity and the residual energy in …

Y Nariyuki - AIP Advances, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
As a minimal phenomenological model of unidirectional Alfvénic fluctuations in the solar
wind, a non-equilibrium Alfvénic state (NAS) in the Langevin system for single particles is …

Inward-propagating plasma parcels in the solar corona: models with aerodynamic drag, ablation, and snowplow accretion

SR Cranmer, CE DeForest… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Although the solar wind flows primarily outward from the Sun to interplanetary space, there
are times when small-scale plasma inflows are observed. Inward-propagating density …
