Multiscale turbulence in stellarators
We present the first gyrokinetic simulations of multiscale turbulence in a stellarator, using the magnetic geometry of Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) and experimentally relevant parameters. A broad range of scenarios is explored, including regimes where electron-

Abstract We report a rare quiet‐time observation by NOAA‐18 spacecraft flying nearly along the electron isotropy boundary (IBe). Complemented by data from four nearby meridional IBe crossings of other POES spacecraft, this case study provides a novel quantitative information concerning the regular energy dependence of the loss‐cone filling ratio (Jprec/

Turbulence Mode Decomposition and Anisotropy in Magnetically Dominated Collisionless Plasmas
We use 3D fully kinetic simulations to study different turbulence modes and turbulence anisotropy of relativistic turbulence in magnetically dominated collisionless plasmas. We extend the method developed by J. Cho & A.

Unstable periodic motion in turbulent flows [PDF]
Recently found unstable time-periodic solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation are reviewed to discuss their relevance to plane Couette turbulence and isotropic turbulence.

Part I of this two-part series compared two theories for the radial distribution function (RDF), a statistical measure of the clustering of inertial particles in isotropic turbulence. In Part II, we will contrast three theoretical models for the relative

Large Eddy Simulations of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Satellite‐Sensed Sea Ice Maps
Abstract Surface heterogeneity in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) causes multiscale secondary atmospheric circulations that are challenging to model or observe. The absence or inadequate representation of these circulations in ocean‐atmosphere exchange schemes in climate models is partially responsible for the underestimation of Arctic sea ice loss ...

The Lifecycle of Tracer Variance in the North Atlantic
Abstract Oceanic tracer distributions are shaped by turbulent mixing, which may be understood via a tracer variance budget. There is a tracer variance lifecycle: variance production by turbulent flows stirring large‐scale gradients, redistribution by currents, and variance dissipation by molecular diffusion.

Abstract We present the first in situ observations of the full turbulence tensor of free convection under lake ice, obtained using an original method based on a set of two synchronized acoustic Doppler profilers to measure all six turbulent stress components.

A Non‐Reciprocal Architected Porous Medium
ABSTRACT In several fluid flow, energy‐dumping, and energy‐harvesting applications, a dominant flow direction or dominant resistance direction is desirable. In this study, we propose a simple modular geometry that doubles flow resistance in one direction relative to the opposite direction, while maintaining laminar viscous flow.
