Turbulence as Information
W. I. Goldburg, R. T. Cerbus
A message of any sort can be regarded as a source of information. Claude. E. Shannon showed in the last century that information ("what we don't already know") is equivalent to the…
Information theory demonstration of the Richardson cascade
Rory T. Cerbus, Walter I. Goldburg
Turbulence theory is usually concerned with the statistical moments of the velocity or its fluctuations. One could also analyze the implicit probability distributions. This is the…
Predicting 2D Turbulence
Rory Cerbus, Walter Goldburg
Prediction is a fundamental objective of science. It is more difficult for chaotic and complex systems like turbulence. Here we use information theory to quantify spatial predictio…
Information Content of Turbulence
Rory Cerbus, Walter Goldburg
We treat a turbulent velocity field as a message in the same way as a book or a picture. All messages can be described by their entropy per symbol , defined as in Shannon's theo…
Search for conformal invariance in compressible two-dimensional turbulence
S. Stefanus, J. Larkin, W. I. Goldburg
We present a search for conformal invariance in vorticity isolines of two-dimensional compressible turbulence. The vorticity is measured by tracking the motion of particles that fl…
Time-Evolution of a Fractal Distribution: Particle Concentrations in Free-Surface Turbulence
Jason Larkin, Walter Goldburg, M. M. Bandi
Steady-state turbulence is generated in a tank of water and the trajectories of particles forming a compressible system on the surface are tracked in time. The initial uniformly di…
