Viscous depletion of vorticity is an essential and well known property of turbulent flows, balancing, in the mean, the net vorticity production associated with the vortex stretching mechanism. In this letter we however demonstrate that viscous effects are not restricted to a mere destruction process, but play a more complex role in vorticity dynamics that is as important as vortex stretching. Based on results from particle tracking experiments (3D-PTV) and direct numerical simulation (DNS) of homogeneous and quasi isotropic turbulence, we show that the viscous term in the vorticity equation can also locally induce production of vorticity and changes of its orientation (viscous tilting).

We investigate the conditional vorticity budget of fully developed three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence with respect to coherent and incoherent flow contributions. The Coherent Vorticity Extraction based on orthogonal wavelets allows to
decompose the vorticity field into coherent and incoherent contributions, of which the latter are noise-like. The impact of the vortex structures observed in fully developed turbulence on statistical balance equations is quantified considering the conditional vorticity budget. The connection between the basic structures present in the flow and their statistical implications is thereby assessed. The results are compared to those obtained for large- and small-scale contributions using a Fourier decomposition, which reveals pronounced differences.
In this paper we numerically investigate the influence of dissipation during particle collisions in an homogeneous turbulent velocity field by coupling a discrete element method to a Lattice-Boltzmann simulation with spectral forcing. We show that ev
en at moderate particle volume fractions the influence of dissipative collisions is important. We also investigate the transition from a regime where the turbulent velocity field significantly influences the spatial distribution of particles to a regime where the distribution is mainly influenced by particle collisions.
We analyze the vector nulls of velocity, Lagrangian acceleration, and vorticity, coming from direct numerical simulations of forced homogeneous isotropic turbulence at $Re_lambda in [40-610]$. We show that the clustering of velocity nulls is much str
onger than those of acceleration and vorticity nulls. These acceleration and vorticity nulls, however, are denser than the velocity nulls. We study the scaling of clusters of these null points with $Re_lambda$ and with characteristic turbulence lengthscales. We also analyze datasets of point inertial particles with Stokes numbers $St = 0.5$, 3, and 6, at $Re_lambda = 240$. Inertial particles display preferential concentration with a degree of clustering that resembles some properties of the clustering of the Lagrangian acceleration nulls, in agreement with the proposed sweep-stick mechanism of clustering formation.
In this work, the scaling statistics of the dissipation along Lagrangian trajectories are investigated by using fluid tracer particles obtained from a high resolution direct numerical simulation with $Re_{lambda}=400$. Both the energy dissipation rat
e $epsilon$ and the local time averaged $epsilon_{tau}$ agree rather well with the lognormal distribution hypothesis. Several statistics are then examined. It is found that the autocorrelation function $rho(tau)$ of $ln(epsilon(t))$ and variance $sigma^2(tau)$ of $ln(epsilon_{tau}(t))$ obey a log-law with scaling exponent $beta=beta=0.30$ compatible with the intermittency parameter $mu=0.30$. The $q$th-order moment of $epsilon_{tau}$ has a clear power-law on the inertial range $10<tau/tau_{eta}<100$. The measured scaling exponent $K_L(q)$ agrees remarkably with $q-zeta_L(2q)$ where $zeta_L(2q)$ is the scaling exponent estimated using the Hilbert methodology. All these results suggest that the dissipation along Lagrangian trajectories could be modelled by a multiplicative cascade.
We study sign changes and scaling laws in the Cartesian components of the velocity and vorticity of rotating turbulence, in the helicity, and in the components of vertically-averaged fields. Data for the analysis is provided by high-resolution direct
numerical simulations of rotating turbulence with different forcing functions, with up to 1536^3 grid points, with Reynolds numbers between ~1100 and ~5100, and with moderate Rossby numbers between ~0.06 and ~8. When rotation is negligible, all Cartesian components of the velocity show similar scaling, in agreement with the expected isotropy of the flow. However, in the presence of rotation only the vertical components of the fields show clear scaling laws, with evidence of possible sign singularity in the limit of infinite Reynolds number. Horizontal components of the velocity are smooth and do not display rapid fluctuations for arbitrarily small scales. The vertical velocity and vorticity, as well as the vertically-averaged vertical velocity and vorticity, show the same scaling within error bars, in agreement with theories that predict that these quantities have the same dynamical equation for very strong rotation.
