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.

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

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 ...

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.

Velocity autocorrelations of decaying isotropic homogeneous turbulence [PDF]
Velocity autocorrelations and the mean-square displacements of fluid particles are obtained for decaying, isotropic homogeneous turbulence by numerical simulation of the flow field, using 1283 and 2563 grids, and tracking several tens of thousands of ...
