Cumulative compressibility effects on population dynamics in turbulent flows
Prasad Perlekar, Roberto Benzi, David R. Nelson +1
Bacteria and plankton populations living in oceans and lakes reproduce and die under the in- fluence of turbulent currents. Turbulent transport interacts in a complex way with the…
Systematics of the magnetic-Prandtl-number dependence of homogeneous, isotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Ganapati Sahoo, Prasad Perlekar, Rahul Pandit
We present the results of our detailed pseudospectral direct numerical simulation (DNS) studies, with up to collocation points, of incompressible, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD…
Statistical Properties of Turbulence: An Overview
Rahul Pandit, Prasad Perlekar, Samriddhi Sankar Ray
We present an introductory overview of several challenging problems in the statistical characterisation of turbulence. We provide examples from fluid turbulence in three and two di…
Manifestations of Drag Reduction by Polymer Additives in Decaying, Homogeneous, Isotropic Turbulence
Prasad Perlekar, Dhrubaditya Mitra, Rahul Pandit
The existence of drag reduction by polymer additives, well established for wall-bounded turbulent flows, is controversial in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. To settle this contr…
