When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

The models for fluid particle breakage and coalescence due to turbulence are generally
limited to the inertial subrange of isotropic turbulence and infinite Reynolds numbers. A …

We seek to understand the kinetic energy spectrum in the dissipation range of fully
developed turbulence. The data are obtained by direct numerical simulations (DNS) of …

A phenomenological theory of the fluctuations of velocity occurring in a fully developed
homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow is presented. The focus is made on the …

The variation of has obvious ramifications for small-scale turbulence research since it
violates the modified similarity hypothesis introduced by Kolmogorov (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 13 …

The pioneering applications of the methods of theoretical physics to the turbulence statistical
closure problem are summarised. These are: the direct-interaction approximation (DIA) of …

The effect of large-scale forcing on the second-and third-order longitudinal velocity structure
functions, evaluated at the Taylor microscale is, the closer the exponent is to the value …

In this paper we investigate whether the features of the nonequilibrium cascade, which have
been identified in recent studies using high-fidelity tools, can be captured in the case of the …

Motivated by the modeling of three-dimensional fluid turbulence, we define and study a
class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) that are randomly stirred by a …

Failure to recognize the importance of the finite Reynolds number effect on small scale
turbulence has, by and large, resulted in misguided assessments of the first two hypotheses …
