Multitime structure functions and the Lagrangian scaling of turbulence

We define and characterize multi-time Lagrangian structure functions using data stem-ming from two swirling flows with mean flow and turbulent fluctuations: A Taylor-Green numerical flow, and a von

Clustering in laboratory and numerical turbulent swirling flows

Abstract We study the three-dimensional clustering of velocity stagnation points, of nulls of the vorticity and of the Lagrangian acceleration, and of inertial particles in turbulent flows at fixed

Transport in helical fluid turbulence

Kinetic helicity (hereafter helicity) is defined by the correlation between the velocity and the flow-aligned vorticity. Helicity, as well as energy, is an inviscid invariant of the hydrodynamic

Reconstructing velocity and pressure from sparse noisy particle tracks using Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Volume-resolving imaging techniques are rapidly advancing progress in experimental fluid mechanics. However, reconstructing the full and structured Eulerian velocity and pressure fields from sparse and

Issues of the dynamics of fluids that are of central importance for (i) the origin of planetary and astrophysical magnetism, and (ii) the determination of stable magnetic field configurations used in thermonuclear fusion reactors like the tokamak are covered.

Flight–crash events in turbulence

It is shown that the motion of a single fluid particle provides a clear manifestation of time irreversibility, and finds that the third moment of the power fluctuations along a trajectory, nondimensionalized by the energy flux, displays a remarkable power law as a function of the Reynolds number.

Dynamo action in the Taylor-Green vortex near threshold

Dynamo action is demonstrated numerically in the forced Taylor–Green (TG) vortex made up of a confined swirling flow composed of a shear layer between two counter-rotating eddies, corresponding to a

Conservation of writhe helicity under anti-parallel reconnection

It is shown that the writhe is conserved under anti-parallel reconnection, which means that any deviation from helicity conservation is entirely due to the intrinsic twist inserted or deleted locally at the reconnection site.

Dual non-Kolmogorov cascades in a von Kármán flow

The experimental spatial power spectrum of the velocity fluctuations in a von Kármán flow is measured, in a wide range of Reynolds numbers, 102 < Re < 106, for the first time without using the Taylor

Characterization of reconnecting vortices in superfluid helium

This work presents the first experimental observations of reconnection between quantized vortices in superfluid helium by imaging micrometer-sized solid hydrogen particles trapped on quantized vortex cores and inferring the occurrence of reconnections from the motions of groups of recoiling particles.

Complete measurement of helicity and its dynamics in vortex tubes

The results show that helicity can remain constant even in a viscous fluid and provide an improved basis for understanding and manipulating helicity in real flows.
