Triad phase dynamics determine cascade direction in two-dimensional turbulence
Santiago J. Benavides, Miguel D. Bustamante
Despite their importance in turbulence theory, a unifying and predictive rule determining the direction of the cascades of conserved quantities is lacking. In this work, we show th…
Phase dynamics and their role determining energy flux in hydrodynamic shell models
Santiago J. Benavides, Miguel D. Bustamante
The transfer of energy and other conserved quantities across scales, also known as flux or spectral flux, is a central aspect of out-of-equilibrium systems such as turbulent hydrod…
Model for transitional turbulence in a planar shear flow
Santiago J. Benavides, Dwight Barkley
A central obstacle to understanding the route to turbulence in wall-bounded flows is that the flows are composed of complex, highly fluctuating, and strongly nonlinear states. In t…
Effective drag in rotating, poorly conducting plasma turbulence
Santiago J. Benavides, Keaton J. Burns, Basile Gallet +1
Despite the increasing sophistication of numerical models of hot Jupiter atmospheres, the large time-scale separation required in simulating the wide range in electrical conductivi…
Inverse cascade suppression and shear layer formation in MHD turbulence subject to a guide field and misaligned rotation
Santiago J. Benavides, Keaton J. Burns, Basile Gallet +2
Astrophysical plasmas are often subject to both rotation and large-scale background magnetic fields. Individually, each is known to two-dimensionalize the flow in the perpendicular…
Symmetry breaking in a turbulent environment
Alexandros Alexakis, François Pétrélis, Santiago J. Benavides +1
In this work we investigate symmetry breaking in the presence of a turbulent environment. The transition from a symmetric state to a symmetry-breaking state is demonstrated using t…
Two-dimensional partially ionized magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Santiago J. Benavides, Glenn R. Flierl
Ionization occurs in the upper atmospheres of hot Jupiters and in the interiors of Gas Giant Planets, leading to magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects which couple the momentum and the…
Critical Transitions in Thin Layer Turbulence
Santiago Jose Benavides, Alexandros Alexakis
We investigate a model of thin layer turbulence that follows the evolution of the two-dimensional motions along the horizontal directions coupled to…
On the edge of an inverse cascade
Kannabiran Seshasayanan, Santiago Jose Benavides, Alexandros Alexakis
We demonstrate that systems with a parameter-controlled inverse cascade can exhibit critical behavior for which at the critical value of the control parameter the inverse cascade s…
