Air drag controls the runout of small laboratory landslides
Rory T. Cerbus, Ludovic Brivady, Thierry Faug +1
Laboratory granular landslides are smaller-scale, simplified, yet well-controlled versions of larger and often tragic natural landslides. Using systematic experiments and scaling a…
A granular scaling approach to landslide runout
Rory T. Cerbus, Ludovic Brivady, Thierry Faug +1
A main objective in landslide research is to predict how far they will travel. Landslides are complex, and a complete understanding in principle requires accounting for numerous pa…
Prandtl-Tietjens intermittency in transitional pipe flows
Rory T. Cerbus
Pipe flow often traverses a regime where laminar and turbulent flow co-exist. Prandtl and Tietjens explained this intermittency as a feedback between the fluctuations of the intern…
Completing Moody's friction diagram in the turbulent transitional regime
Rory T. Cerbus, Tom Mullin
The Moody diagram, a plot of friction factor versus flow rate, is a well-known engineering tool for estimating head loss in pipe flows. It comprises well-defined relationships betw…
Kolmogorovian turbulence in transitional pipe flows
Rory T. Cerbus, Chien-chia Liu, Gustavo Gioia +1
As everyone knows who has opened a kitchen faucet, pipe flow is laminar at low flow velocities and turbulent at high flow velocities. At intermediate velocities there is a transiti…
Turbulence as Information
W. I. Goldburg, R. T. Cerbus
A message of any sort can be regarded as a source of information. Claude. E. Shannon showed in the last century that information ("what we don't already know") is equivalent to the…
Janus spectra in two-dimensional flows
Chien-Chia Liu, Rory T. Cerbus, Pinaki Chakraborty
In theory, large-scale atmospheric flows, soap-film flows and other two-dimensional flows may host two distinct types of turbulent energy spectra---in one, , the spectral expone…
Information theory demonstration of the Richardson cascade
Rory T. Cerbus, Walter I. Goldburg
Turbulence theory is usually concerned with the statistical moments of the velocity or its fluctuations. One could also analyze the implicit probability distributions. This is the…
Predicting 2D Turbulence
Rory Cerbus, Walter Goldburg
Prediction is a fundamental objective of science. It is more difficult for chaotic and complex systems like turbulence. Here we use information theory to quantify spatial predictio…
Information Content of Turbulence
Rory Cerbus, Walter Goldburg
We treat a turbulent velocity field as a message in the same way as a book or a picture. All messages can be described by their entropy per symbol , defined as in Shannon's theo…
