Simulating non-Kolmogorov turbulence phase screens based on equivalent structure constant and its influence on simulations of beam propagation

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2017
Gaussian distribution is used to describe the power law along the propagation path and phase screen of the non-Kolmogorov turbulence is proposed based on the equivalent refractive-index structure constants.

von Kármán self-preservation hypothesis for magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and its consequences for universality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We argue that the hypothesis of preservation of shape of dimensionless second- and third-order correlations during decay of incompressible homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence requires, in general, at least two independent similarity length ...

Turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a major role in several processes such as the formation of dense structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the amplification of magnetic fields, and the re-acceleration and ...

An analytical, phenomenological and numerical study of geophysical and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in two dimensions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this thesis I study a variety of two-dimensional turbulent systems using a mixed analytical, phenomenological and numerical approach. The systems under consideration are governed by the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes (2DNS), surface quasigeostrophic

Experiments on wave turbulence : the evolution and growth of second sound acoustic turbulence in superfluid 4He confirm self-similarity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We report our experiments on the formation of second sound acoustic turbulence in superfluid 4He. The initial growth in spectral amplitude follows power laws that steepen rapidly with increasing harmonic number n, corresponding to a propagating front in ...

Anisotropic Wave Turbulence for Reduced Hydrodynamics with Rotationally Constrained Slow Inertial Waves

open access: yesFluids, 2017
Kinetic equations for rapidly rotating flows are developed in this paper using multiple scales perturbation theory. The governing equations are an asymptotically reduced set of equations that are derived from the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations ...

Percolation transition in the kinematics of nonlinear resonance broadening in Charney–Hasegawa–Mima model of Rossby wave turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We study the kinematics of nonlinear resonance broadening of interacting Rossby waves as modelled by the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima equation on a biperiodic domain. We focus on the set of wave modes which can interact quasi-resonantly at a particular level of

Intermittency and regularity issues in 3D Navier-Stokes turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Two related open problems in the theory of 3 D Navier-Stokes turbulence are discussed in this paper. The first is the phenomenon of intermittency in the dissipation field.

Flat-Topped Beam Transmittance In Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulent Marine Atmosphere

open access: yesOptical Engineering, 2017
Turbulence affects optical propagation, and, as a result, the intensity is attenuated along the path of propagation. The attenuation becomes significant when the turbulence becomes stronger. Transmittance is a measure indicating how much power is collected at the receiver after the optical wave propagates in the turbulent medium.
