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…
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…
