Large scale molecular dynamics simulations of freely decaying turbulence in three-dimensional space are reported. Fluid components are defined from the microscopic states by eliminating thermal components from the coarse-grained fields. The energy spectrum of the fluid components is observed to scale reasonably well according to Kolmogorov scaling determined from the energy dissipation rate and the viscosity of the fluid, even though the Kolmogorov length is of the order of the molecular scale.

For generic systems exhibiting power law behaviors, and hence multiscale dependencies, we propose a new, and yet simple, tool to analyze multifractality and intermittency, after noticing that these concepts are directly related to the deformation of
a probability density function from Gaussian at large scales to non-Gaussian at smaller scales. Our framework is based on information theory, and uses Shannon entropy and Kullback-Leibler divergence. We propose an extensive application to three-dimensional fully developed turbulence, seen here as a paradigmatic complex system where intermittency was historically defined. Moreover, the concepts of scale invariance and multifractality were extensively studied in this field and, most importantly, benchmarked. We compute our measure on experimental Eulerian velocity measurements, as well as on synthetic processes and a phenomenological model of fluid turbulence.Our approach is very general and does not require any underlying model of the system, although it can probe the relevance of such a model.
The coupled dynamics of quantum turbulence (QT) and normal-fluid turbulence (NFT) have been a central challenge in quantum hydrodynamics, since it is expected to cause the unsolved T2 state of QT. We numerically studied the coupled dynamics of the tw
o turbulences in thermal counterflow. NFT is driven by external forces to control its turbulent intensity, and the fast multipole method accelerates the calculation of QT. We show that NFT enhances QT via mutual friction. The vortex line density $L$ of the QT satisfies the statistical law $L^{1/2} approx gamma V_{ns}$ with the counterflow velocity $V_{ns}$. The obtained $gamma$ agrees with the experiment of T2 state, validating the idea that the T2 state is caused by NFT. We propose a theoretical insight into the relation between the two turbulences.
Fluctuation-induced forces occur generically when long-ranged correlations (e.g., in fluids) are confined by external bodies. In classical systems, such correlations require specific conditions, e.g., a medium close to a critical point. On the other
hand, long-ranged correlations appear more commonly in certain non-equilibrium systems with conservation laws. Consequently, a variety of non-equilibrium fluctuation phenomena, including fluctuation-induced forces, have been discovered and explored recently. Here, we address a long-standing problem of non-equilibrium critical Casimir forces emerging after a quench to the critical point in a confined fluid with order-parameter-conserving dynamics and non-symmetry-breaking boundary conditions. The interplay of inherent (critical) fluctuations and dynamical non-local effects (due to density conservation) gives rise to striking features, including correlation functions and forces exhibiting oscillatory time-dependences. Complex transient regimes arise, depending on initial conditions and the geometry of the confinement. Our findings pave the way for exploring a wealth of non-equilibrium processes in critical fluids (e.g., fluctuation-mediated self-assembly or aggregation). In certain regimes, our results are applicable to active matter.
Following the work of Leutheusser [Physica A 127, 667 (1984)], the solution to the Percus-Yevick equation for a seven-dimensional hard-sphere fluid is explicitly found. This allows the derivation of the equation of state for the fluid taking both the
virial and the compressibility routes. An analysis of the virial coefficients and the determination of the radius of convergence of the virial series are carried out. Molecular dynamics simulations of the same system are also performed and a comparison between the simulation results for the compressibility factor and theoretical expressions for the same quantity is presented.
We demonstrate that the multi-phase lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) yields a curvature dependent surface tension $sigma$ by means of three-dimensional hydrostatic droplets/bubbles simulations. Such curvature dependence is routinely characterized, at t
he first order, by the so-called {it Tolman length} $delta$. LBM allows to precisely compute $sigma$ at the surface of tension $R_s$, i.e. as a function of the droplet size, and determine the first order correction. The corresponding values of $delta$ display universality in temperature for different equations of state, following a power-law scaling near the critical point. The Tolman length has been studied so far mainly via computationally demanding molecular dynamics (MD) simulations or by means of density functional theory (DFT) approaches. It has proved pivotal in extending the classical nucleation theory and is expected to be paramount in understanding cavitation phenomena. The present results open a new hydrodynamic-compliant mesoscale arena, in which the fundamental role of the Tolman length, alongside real-world applications to cavitation phenomena, can be effectively tackled.
