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 …

Burgers turbulence

J Bec, K Khanin - Physics reports, 2007 - Elsevier

Experimental evidence of random shock-wave intermittency

G Ricard, E Falcon - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We report the experimental observation of intermittency in a regime dominated by random
shock waves on the surface of a fluid. We achieved such a nondispersive surface-wave field …

Manifestations of Drag Reduction by Polymer Additives<? format?> in Decaying, Homogeneous, Isotropic Turbulence

P Perlekar, D Mitra, R Pandit - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
The existence of drag reduction by polymer additives, well established for wall-bounded
turbulent flows, is controversial in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. To settle this …
