We introduce two new singularity detection criteria based on the work of Duchon-Robert (DR) [J. Duchon and R. Robert, Nonlinearity, 13, 249 (2000)], and Eyink [G.L. Eyink, Phys. Rev. E, 74 (2006)] which allow for the local detection of singularities with scaling exponent $hleqslant1/2$ in experimental flows, using PIV measurements. We show that in order to detect such singularities, one does not need to have access to the whole velocity field inside a volume but can instead look for them from stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) data on a plane. We discuss the link with the Beale-Kato-Majda (BKM) [J.T. Beale, T. Kato, A. Majda, Commun. Math. Phys., 94, 61 (1984)] criterion, based on the blowup of vorticity, which applies to singularities of Navier-Stokes equations. We illustrate our discussion using tomographic PIV data obtained inside a high Reynolds number flow generated inside the boundary layer of a wind tunnel. In such a case, BKM and DR criteria are well correlated with each other.

In this paper, we proceed exploring the case of non-stationary helical flows of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids with variable (spatially dependent) coefficient of proportionality between velocity and the curl field of flow. Mean while, the system of Navier-Stokes equations (including continuity equation) has been successfully explored previously with respect to the existence of analytical way for presentation of non-stationary helical flows of the aforementioned type. The main motivation of the current research is the exploring the stability of previously obtained helical flows. Conditions for the stability criteria of the exact solution for the aforementioned type of flows are obtained, for which non-stationary helical flow with invariant Bernoulli-function is considered. As it has been formulated before, the spatial part of the pressure field of the fluid flow should be determined via Bernoulli-function, if components of the velocity of the flow are already obtained.

In an incompressible flow, fluid density remains invariant along fluid element trajectories. This implies that the spatial distribution of non-interacting noninertial particles in such flows cannot develop density inhomogeneities beyond those that ar e already introduced in the initial condition. However, in certain practical situations, density is measured or accumulated on (hyper-) surfaces of dimensionality lower than the full dimensionality of the flow in which the particles move. An example is the observation of particle distributions sedimented on the floor of the ocean. In such cases, even if the initial distribution of noninertial particles is uniform within a finite support in an incompressible flow, advection in the flow will give rise to inhomogeneities in the observed density. In this paper we analytically derive, in the framework of an initially homogeneous particle sheet sedimenting towards a bottom surface, the relationship between the geometry of the flow and the emerging distribution. From a physical point of view, we identify the two processes that generate inhomogeneities to be the stretching within the sheet, and the projection of the deformed sheet onto the target surface. We point out that an extreme form of inhomogeneity, caustics, can develop for sheets. We exemplify our geometrical results with simulations of particle advection in a simple kinematic flow, study the dependence on various parameters involved, and illustrate that the basic mechanisms work similarly if the initial (homogeneous) distribution occupies a more general region of finite extension rather than a sheet.
We investigate the formation of singularities in the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in $dgeq 2$ dimensions with a fractional Laplacian $| abla |^alpha$. We derive analytically a sufficient but not necessary condition for solutions to remain a lways smooth and show that finite time singularities cannot form for $alphageq alpha_c= 1+d/2$. Moreover, initial singularities become unstable for $alpha>alpha_c$.
We present numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Galerkin truncated incompressible Euler equations that we integrate in time while regularizing the solution by applying a wavelet-based denoising. For this, at each time step, the vorticity fi led is decomposed into wavelet coefficients, that are split into strong and weak coefficients, before reconstructing them in physical space to obtain the corresponding coherent and incoherent vorticities. Both components are multiscale and orthogonal to each other. Then, by using the Biot--Savart kernel, one obtains the coherent and incoherent velocities. Advancing the coherent flow in time, while filtering out the noise-like incoherent flow, models turbulent dissipation and corresponds to an adaptive regularization. In order to track the flow evolution in both space and scale, a safety zone is added in wavelet coefficient space to the coherent wavelet coefficients. It is shown that the coherent flow indeed exhibits an intermittent nonlinear dynamics and a $k^{-5/3}$ energy spectrum, where $k$ is the wavenumber, characteristic of { three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence}. Finally, we compare the dynamical and statistical properties of Euler flows subjected to four kinds of regularizations: dissipative (Navier--Stokes), hyperdissipative (iterated Laplacian), dispersive (Euler--Voigt) and wavelet-based regularizations.
We present experimental evidence of statistical conformal invariance in isocontours of fluid thickness in experiments of two-dimensional turbulence using soap films. A Schlieren technique is used to visualize regions of the flow with constant film th ickness, and association of isocontours with Schramm-Lowner evolution (SLE) is used to identify conformal invariance. In experiments where an inverse energy cascade develops, statistical evidence is consistent with such an association. The diffusivity of the associated one-dimensional Brownian process is close to 8/3, a value previously identified in isocontours of vorticity in high-resolution numerical simulations of two-dimensional turbulence (D. Bernard et al., Nature Phys. 2, 124, 2006). In experiments where the inverse energy cascade is not sufficiently developed, no statistical evidence of conformal invariance is found.
