How well can Diffusion Models learn Lagrangian-Tracer Statistics in Non-reciprocal Turbulence?

Pratyush Jha, Biswajit Maji, Rahul Pandit

Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence have led to significant potential applications in conventional fluid flows, including those that are turbulent. Can these meth…

Non-reciprocal Binary-fluid Turbulence

Biswajit Maji, Nadia Bihari Padhan, Axel Voigt +1

Although effective non-reciprocal interactions have been investigated in a variety of fields, their consequences have not been explored in hydrodynamical turbulence. We initiate su…

The global attractor of the Toner-Tu-Swift-Hohenberg equations of active turbulence and its properties

Daniel W. Boutros, Kolluru Venkata Kiran, John D. Gibbon +1

The Toner-Tu-Swift-Hohenberg (TTSH) equations are one of the basic equations that are used to model turbulent behaviour in active matter, specifically the swarming of bacteria in s…

Vortex triplets, symmetry breaking, and emergent nonequilibrium plastic crystals in an active-spinner fluid

Biswajit Maji, Nadia Bihari Padhan, Rahul Pandit

The formation of patterns and exotic nonequilibrium steady states in active-fluid systems continues to pose challenging problems -- theoretical, numerical, and experimental -- for…

Uncovering the Varieties of Three-dimensional Hall-MHD Turbulence

Pratik Patel, Sharad K Yadav, Hideaki Miura +1

We carry out extensive pseudospectral direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of decaying three-dimensional (3D) Hall magnetohydrodynamics (3D HMHD) plasma turbulence at three magnetic…

The Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes Framework for Multiphase Fluid Flows: Laminar, Turbulent, and Active

Nadia Bihari Padhan, Rahul Pandit

The Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes (CHNS) partial differential equations (PDEs) provide a powerful framework for the study of the statistical mechanics and fluid dynamics of multiphas…

Large-scale multifractality and lack of self-similar decay for Burgers and 3D Navier-Stokes turbulence

Takeshi Matsumoto, Dipankar Roy, Konstantin Khanin +2

We study decaying turbulence in the 1D Burgers equation (Burgulence) and 3D Navier-Stokes (NS) turbulence. We first investigate the decay in time of the energy in Burgul…

Emergent turbulence and coarsening arrest in active-spinner fluids

Biswajit Maji, Nadia Bihari Padhan, Rahul Pandit

We uncover activity-driven crossover from phase separation to a new turbulent state in a two-dimensional system of counter-rotating spinners. We study the statistical properties of…

First observation of turbulence-like state in dense algal suspensions

Prince Vibek Baruah, Nadia Bihari Padhan, Biswajit Maji +2

Active turbulence arises typically in systems ranging from microorganisms and biopolymers to synthetic colloids, where chaotic flows are closely associated with motile topological…

Can flocking aid the path planning of microswimmers in turbulent flows?

Akanksha Gupta, Jaya Kumar Alageshan, Kolluru Venkata Kiran +1

We show that flocking of microswimmers in a turbulent flow can enhance the efficacy of reinforcement-learning-based path-planning of microswimmers in turbulent flows. In particular…

Onset of Intermittency and Multiscaling in Active Turbulence

Kolluru Venkata Kiran, Kunal Kumar, Anupam Gupta +2

Recent results suggest that highly active, chaotic, non-equilibrium states of living fluids might share much in common with high Reynolds number, inertial turbulence. We now show,…

Interface-induced turbulence in viscous binary fluid mixtures

Nadia Bihari Padhan, Dario Vincenzi, Rahul Pandit

We demonstrate the existence of interface-induced turbulence, an emergent nonequilibrium statistically steady state (NESS) with spatiotemporal chaos, which is induced by interfacia…

Interfaces as transport barriers in two-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes turbulence

Nadia Bihari Padhan, Rahul Pandit

We investigate the role of interfaces as transport barriers in binary-fluid turbulence by employing Lagrangian tracer particles. The Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes (CHNS) system of pa…

Turbulent cascade arrests and the formation of intermediate-scale condensates

Kolluru Venkata Kiran, Dario Vincenzi, Rahul Pandit

Energy cascades lie at the heart of the dynamics of turbulent flows. In a recent study of turbulence in fluids with odd-viscosity [de Wit \textit{et al.}, Nature \textbf{627}, 515…

Novel turbulence and coarsening arrest in active-scalar fluids

Nadia Bihari Padhan, Kolluru Venkata Kiran, Rahul Pandit

We uncover a new type of turbulence -- activity-induced homogeneous and isotropic turbulence in a model that has been employed to investigate motility-induced phase separation (MIP…
