On the large-scale sweeping of small-scale eddies in turbulence -- A filtering approach
Theodore D. Drivas, Perry L. Johnson, Cristian C. Lalescu +1
We present an analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations based on a spatial filtering technique to elucidate the multi-scale nature of fully developed turbulence. In particular, the a…
Asymptotic predictions on the velocity gradient statistics in low-Reynolds number random flows: Onset of skewness, intermittency and alignments
Maurizio Carbone, Michael Wilczek
Stirring a fluid through a Gaussian forcing at a vanishingly small Reynolds number produces a Gaussian random field, while flows at higher Reynolds numbers exhibit non-Gaussianity,…
Optimal Turbulent Transport in Microswimmer Suspensions
Henning Reinken, Sabine H. L. Klapp, Michael Wilczek
Microswimmer suspensions self-organize into complex spatio-temporal flow patterns, including vortex lattices and mesoscale turbulence. Here we explore the consequences for the moti…
Quantitative prediction of sling events in turbulence at high Reynolds numbers
Tobias Bätge, Itzhak Fouxon, Michael Wilczek
Collisional growth of droplets, such as occurring in warm clouds, is known to be significantly enhanced by turbulence. Whether particles collide depends on their flow history, in p…
Are there higher-order Betchov homogeneity constraints for incompressible isotropic turbulence?
Maurizio Carbone, Michael Wilczek
Incompressible and statistically homogeneous flows obey exact kinematic relations. The Betchov homogeneity constraints (Betchov, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 1, 1956, pp. 497-504) for the…
The role of advective inertia in active nematic turbulence
Colin-Marius Koch, Michael Wilczek
Suspensions of active agents with nematic interactions exhibit complex spatio-temporal dynamics such as mesoscale turbulence. Since the Reynolds number of microscopic flows is very…
