Various existing analytical descriptions for predicting turbulent flows laden with solid
particles or liquid droplets are reviewed here. The main focus is on a collisionless dispersed …

The paper is focused on inertia effects among drops moving within a turbulent cloud on size
distribution evolution and formation of rain. Two related mechanisms are discussed:(1) the …

The generation of magnetic fluctuations by turbulent flow of conducting fluid with a zero
mean magnetic field for small magnetic Prandtl numbers is studied. The equation for the …

The field theoretic renormalization group (RG) is applied to the problem of a passive scalar
advected by the Gaussian self-similar velocity field with finite correlation time and in the …

A new physical effect, turbulent thermal diffusion, is discussed. This phenomenon is related
to the dynamics of small inertial particles in incompressible turbulent fluid flow. At large …

A mechanism for intermittency in spatial distribution of small inertial particles advected by a
turbulent incompressible fluid flow is discussed. The mechanism is related to self-excitation …

Recent progress on the anomalous scaling in models of turbulent heat and mass transport is
reviewed with the emphasis on the approach based on the field-theoretic renormalization …

Turbulence and the associated turbulent transport of scalar and vector fields is a classical
physics problem that has dazzled scientists for over a century, yet many fundamental …

Isotropic and anisotropic spectra of passive scalar fluctuations in a turbulent fluid flow with a
power law∝ k− β spectrum are analyzed. The isotropic spectra occur in flows with zero …

Field theoretical renormalization group (RG) methods are applied to a simple model of a
passive scalar quantity advected by the Gaussian nonsolenoidal (“compressible”) velocity …
