Probability Density Functions in Homogeneous and Isotropic Magneto-Hydrodynamic Turbulence
We derive a hierarchy of evolution equations for multi-point probability density functions in magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. We discuss the relation to the moment hierarchy in MHD turbulence formulated by Chandrasekhar (S. Chandrasekhar, Proc. R.

A necessary and sufficient form of two-point velocity characteristic function to embody two-point velocity distribution in turbulence is constructed on the mathematical basis of homogeneity and isotropy.

Droplet size distribution in homogeneous isotropic turbulence [PDF]
We study the physics of droplet breakup in a statistically stationary homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow by means of high resolution numerical investigations based on the multicomponent lattice Boltzmann method.

Cloud droplet diffusional growth in homogeneous isotropic turbulence: bin microphysics versus Lagrangian super-droplet simulations [PDF]
The increase in the spectral width of an initially monodisperse population of cloud droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence is investigated by applying a finite-difference fluid flow model combined with either Eulerian bin microphysics or a ...

Manifestations of Drag Reduction by Polymer Additives in Decaying, Homogeneous, Isotropic Turbulence [PDF]
The existence of drag reduction by polymer additives, well established for wall-bounded turbulent flows, is controversial in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. To settle this controversy we carry out a high-resolution direct numerical simulation (DNS) of

Fluctuation-Dissipation Relations and statistical temperatures in a turbulent von K\'arm\'an flow [PDF]
We experimentally characterize the fluctuations of the non-homogeneous non-isotropic turbulence in an axisymmetric von K\'arm\'an flow. We show that these fluctuations satisfy relations analogous to classical Fluctuation-Dissipation Relations (FDRs) in ...

von Kármán-Howarth and Corrsin equations closures through Liouville theorem
In this communication, the closure formulas of von Kármán-Howarth and Corrsin equations are obtained through the Liouville theorem and the hypothesis of homogeneous isotropic incompressible turbulence.
