What Can We Learn from Marine Geophysics to Study Rifted Margins?

Julia Autin, Louise Watremez

This chapter describes the main geophysical methods used when studying offshore rifts and rifted margins. Geophysical data are often the only constraints available for interpretati…

Hidden Turbulence in van Gogh's \textbf{\textit{The Starry Night}}

Yinxiang Ma, Wanting Cheng, Shidi Huang +3

Turbulent skies have often inspired artists, particularly in the iconic swirls of Vincent van Gogh's \textbf{\textit{The Starry Night}}. For an extended period, debate has raged ov…

A quadratic Reynolds stress development for the turbulent Kolmogorov flow

Wenwei Wu, Francois G. Schmitt, Enrico Calzavarini +1

We study the three-dimensional turbulent Kolmogorov flow, i.e. the Navier-Stokes equations forced by a low-single-wave-number sinusoidal force in a periodic domain, by means of dir…

Description of turbulent dynamics in the interstellar medium: multifractal/microcanonical analysis I. Application to Herschel observations of the Musca filament

H. Yahia, N. Schneider, S. Bontemps +10

Observations of the interstellar medium (ISM) show a complex density and velocity structure which is in part attributed to turbulence. We here present a self-contained introduction…

Fluctuations and correlations of reactive scalars near chemical equilibrium in incompressible turbulence

Wenwei Wu, Enrico Calzavarini, François G. Schmitt +1

The statistical properties of species undergoing chemical reactions in a turbulent environment are studied. We focus on the case of reversible multi-component reactions of second a…

Efficient mate finding in planktonic copepods swimming in turbulence

François-Gaël Michalec, Itzhak Fouxon, Sami Souissi +1

Zooplankton live in dynamic environments where turbulence may challenge their limited swimming abilities. How this interferes with fundamental behavioral processes remains elusive.…

Extremal-point density of scaling processes from fractal Brownian motion to turbulence in one dimension

Yongxiang Huang, Lipo Wang, F. G. Schmitt +3

In recent years several local extrema based methodologies have been proposed to investigate either the nonlinear or the nonstationary time series for scaling analysis. In the prese…

Propelled micro-probes in turbulence

Enrico Calzavarini, Yongxiang X. Huang, François G. Schmitt +1

The temporal statistics of incompressible fluid velocity and passive scalar fields in developed turbulent conditions is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations along…

Copepods encounter rates from a model of escape jump behaviour in turbulence

H. Ardeshiri, F. G. Schmitt, S. Souissi +2

A key ecological parameter for planktonic copepods studies is their interspecies encounter rate which is driven by their behaviour and is strongly influenced by turbulence of the s…

A Lagrangian model of copepod dynamics: Clustering by escape jumps in turbulence

Hamidreza Ardeshiri, Ibtissem Benkeddad, François G. Schmitt +3

Planktonic copepods are small crustaceans that have the ability to swim by quick powerful jumps. Such an aptness is used to escape from high shear regions, which may be caused eith…

Autocorrelation function of velocity increments time series in fully developed turbulence

Y. X. Huang, F. G. Schmitt, Z. M. Lu +1

In fully developed turbulence, the velocity field possesses long-range correlations, denoted by a scaling power spectrum or structure functions. Here we consider the autocorrelatio…

An amplitude-frequency study of turbulent scaling intermittency using Empirical Mode Decomposition and Hilbert Spectral Analysis

Y. X. Huang, Francois G. Schmitt, Z. M. Lu +1

Hilbert-Huang transform is a method that has been introduced recently to decompose nonlinear, nonstationary time series into a sum of different modes, each one having a characteris…

Lagrangian Cascade in Three-Dimensional Homogeneous and Isotropic Turbulence

Y. X. Huang, Francois G. Schmitt

In this work, the scaling statistics of the dissipation along Lagrangian trajectories are investigated by using fluid tracer particles obtained from a high resolution direct numeri…

Scaling of maximum probability density functions of velocity and temperature increments in turbulent systems

Y. X. Huang, Francois G. Schmitt, Q. Zhou +4

In this paper, we introduce a new way to estimate the scaling parameter of a self-similar process by considering the maximum probability density function (pdf) of tis increments. W…

Second order structure function in fully developed turbulence

Y. X. Huang, Francois G. Schmitt, Z. M. Lu +3

We relate the second order structure function of a time series with the power spectrum of the original variable, taking an assumption of statistical stationarity. With this approac…

Time dependent intrinsic correlation analysis of temperature and dissolved oxygen time series using empirical mode decomposition

Y. X. Huang, Francois G. Schmitt

In the marine environment, many fields have fluctuations over a large range of different spatial and temporal scales. These quantities can be nonlinear \red{and} non-stationary, an…

A causal multifractal stochastic equation and its statistical properties

Francois G. Schmitt

Multiplicative cascades have been introduced in turbulence to generate random or deterministic fields having intermittent values and long-range power-law correlations. Generally th…
