Forward and backward multi-particle dispersion in homogeneous isotropic turbulence
Turbulent diffusion in homogeneous isotropic turbulence is numerically investigated using the direct numerical simulation (DNS). The four-dimensional turbulence database allows us to track fluid particles not only in the forward direction of time but ...

The Polymer Effect on Nonlinear Processes in Decaying Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence
In order to study the polymer effect on the behavior of nonlinearities in decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence (DHIT), direct numerical simulations were carried out for DHIT with and without polymers.

Droplet breakup in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence [PDF]
This fluid dynamics video shows the breakup of a droplet in a stationary homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow. We consider droplets with the same density of the transporting fluid.

Lagrangian statistics of particle pairs in homogeneous isotropic turbulence [PDF]
We present a detailed investigation of the particle pair separation process in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. We use data from direct numerical simulations up to Taylor's Reynolds number 280 following the evolution of about two million passive tracers

Kolmogorov's law for two-dimensional electron-magnetohydrodynamic turbulence [PDF]
The analogue of the Kolmogorov's four-fifths law is derived for two-dimensional, homogeneous, isotropic EMHD turbulence in the energy cascade inertial range. Direct numerical simulations for the freely decaying case show that this relation holds true for

A Method for Choosing the Spatial and Temporal Approximations for the LES Approach
Analysis and optimization of the hybrid upwind-central numerical methods for modern versions of large eddy simulations (LESs) are presented herein. Optimization was performed based on examination of the characteristics of the spatial and temporal finite ...

Anomalous scaling in homogeneous isotropic turbulence [PDF]
The anomalous scaling exponents $ _{n}$ of the longitudinal structure functions $S_{n}$ for homogeneous isotropic turbulence are derived from the Navier-Stokes equations by using field theoretic methods to develop a low energy approximation in which the Kolmogorov theory is shown to act effectively as a mean field theory.

Correlation between large- and small-scale velocity components under Fourier filters
By introducing the Fourier filters, we analyse the correlation between large- and small-scale velocity components in homogeneous isotropic turbulence theoretically. We show that different Fourier filters act similarly on this multi-scale correlation with

Simulation of fully resolved finite-size particles in a turbulent flow [PDF]
In this study we are interested on the statistics of finite sized particles. A sustained homogeneous isotropic turbulence with particles is numerically simulated in order to obtain those ...
