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 …

From absolute equilibrium to Kardar–Parisi–Zhang crossover: A short review of recent developments

M Brachet - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2022 - Elsevier
I first recall the theoretical background relevant to spectral truncation: absolute equilibrium in
helical flows and compressible effects. Thermalization phenomenology in Gross–Pitaevskii …

Statistical equilibria of large scales in dissipative hydrodynamic turbulence

V Dallas, S Fauve, A Alexakis - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
We present a numerical study of the statistical properties of three-dimensional dissipative
turbulent flows at scales larger than the forcing scale. Our results indicate that the large …

Dynamics of partially thermalized solutions of the Burgers equation

P Clark Di Leoni, PD Mininni, ME Brachet - Physical Review Fluids, 2018 - APS
The spectrally truncated, or finite dimensional, versions of several equations of inviscid flows
display transient solutions which match their viscous counterparts, but which eventually lead …

Optimal length scale for a turbulent dynamo

M Sadek, A Alexakis, S Fauve - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We demonstrate that there is an optimal forcing length scale for low Prandtl number dynamo
flows that can significantly reduce the required energy injection rate. The investigation is …

Large-scale instabilities of helical flows

A Cameron, A Alexakis, MÉ Brachet - Physical Review Fluids, 2016 - APS
Large-scale hydrodynamic instabilities of periodic helical flows of a given wave number K
are investigated using three-dimensional Floquet numerical computations. In the Floquet …

Self-truncation and scaling in Euler-Voigt- and related fluid models

G Di Molfetta, G Krstulovic, M Brachet - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
A generalization of the 3D Euler-Voigt-α model is obtained by introducing derivatives of
arbitrary order β (instead of 2) in the Helmholtz operator. The β→∞ limit is shown to …

Effect of fluctuations on mean-field dynamos

A Alexakis, S Fauve, C Gissinger… - Journal of Plasma …, 2018 - cambridge.org
We discuss the effect of different types of fluctuations on dynamos generated in the limit of
scale separation. We first recall that the magnetic field observed in the VKS (von Karman …

Large scale effects in turbulence

A Cameron - 2017 - theses.hal.science
This manuscript describes how solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations behave in the large
scales when forced in the small scales. It analyzes also the large scale behavior of magnetic …
