We briefly review helicity dynamics, inverse and bidirectional cascades in fluid and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, with an emphasis on the latter. The energy of a …

A decomposition of the energy and helicity fluxes is used to analyse turbulent hydrodynamic flows. The decomposition is based on the projection of the flow to a helical basis. This allows …
Inviscid invariants of flow equations are crucial in determining the direction of the turbulent energy cascade. In this work we investigate a variant of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes …

In homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, the relative contributions of different physical mechanisms to the energy cascade can be quantified by an exact decomposition of the …
Turbulent flows are special examples of extended dynamical systems distinguished by their intermittent, chaotic, and irreversible behavior. However, the exact nature of the effect of …

In hydrodynamic (HD) turbulence, an exact decomposition of the energy flux across scales has been derived that identifies the contributions associated with vortex stretching and strain …
Using direct numerical simulations, we demonstrate that magnetic helicity exhibits a bidirectional turbulent cascade at high but finite magnetic Reynolds numbers. Despite the …
We performed numerical simulations to study the response of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) to large-scale stochastic forcing mechanisms parameterized by one parameter, 0≤ …

The inverse transfer of magnetic helicity is a fundamental process that may explain large- scale magnetic structure formation and sustainment. Until very recently, direct numerical …
