Following the idea that dissipation in turbulence at high Reynolds number is by events singular in space-time and described by solutions of the inviscid Euler equations, we draw the conclusion that in such flows scaling laws should depend only on quantities appearing in the Euler equations. This excludes viscosity or a turbulent length as scaling parameters and constrains drastically possible analytical pictures of this limit. We focus on the law of drag by Newton for a projectile moving quickly in a fluid at rest. Inspired by the Newtons drag force law (proportional to the square of the speed of the moving object in the limit of large Reynolds numbers), which is well verified in experiments when the location of the detachment of the boundary layer is defined, we propose an explicit relationship between Reynoldss stress in the turbulent wake and quantities depending on the velocity field (averaged in time but depending on space), in the form of an integro-differential equation for the velocity which is solved for a Poiseuille flow in a circular pipe.

We formulate multifractal models for velocity differences and gradients which describe the full range of length scales in turbulent flow, namely: laminar, dissipation, inertial, and stirring ranges. The models subsume existing models of inertial rang
e turbulence. In the localized ranges of length scales in which the turbulence is only partially developed, we propose multifractal scaling laws with scaling exponents modified from their inertial range values. In local regions, even within a fully developed turbulent flow, the turbulence is not isotropic nor scale invariant due to the influence of larger turbulent structures (or their absence). For this reason, turbulence that is not fully developed is an important issue which inertial range study can not address. In the ranges of partially developed turbulence, the flow can be far from universal, so that standard inertial range turbulence scaling models become inapplicable. The model proposed here serves as a replacement.Details of the fitting of the parameters for the $tau_p$ and $zeta_p$ models in the dissipation range are discussed. Some of the behavior of $zeta_p$ for larger $p$ is unexplained. The theories are verified by comparing to high resolution simulation data.
Two-dimensional statistically stationary isotropic turbulence with an imposed uniform scalar gradient is investigated. Dimensional arguments are presented to predict the inertial range scaling of the turbulent scalar flux spectrum in both the inverse
cascade range and the enstrophy cascade range for small and unity Schmidt numbers. The scaling predictions are checked by direct numerical simulations and good agreement is observed.
Energy flux plays a key role in the analyses of energy-cascading turbulence. In isotropic turbulence, the flux is given by a scalar as a function of the magnitude of the wavenumber. On the other hand, the flux in anisotropic turbulence should be a ge
ometric vector that has a direction as well as the magnitude, and depends not only on the magnitude of the wavenumber but also on its direction. The energy-flux vector in the anisotropic turbulence cannot be uniquely determined in a way used for the isotropic flux. In this work, introducing two ansatzes, net locality and efficiency of the nonlinear energy transfer, we propose a way to determine the energy-flux vector in anisotropic turbulence by using the Moore--Penrose inverse. The energy-flux vector in strongly rotating turbulence is demonstrated based on the energy transfer rate obtained by direct numerical simulations. It is found that the direction of the energy-flux vector is consistent with the prediction of the weak turbulence theory in the wavenumber range dominated by the inertial waves. However, the energy flux along the critical wavenumbers predicted by the critical balance in the buffer range between in the weak turbulence range and the isotropic Kolmogorov turbulence range is not observed in the present simulations. This discrepancy between the critical balance and the present numerical results is discussed and the dissipation is found to play an important role in the energy flux in the buffer range.
Turbulence is the major cause of friction losses in transport processes and it is responsible for a drastic drag increase in flows over bounding surfaces. While much effort is invested into developing ways to control and reduce turbulence intensities
, so far no methods exist to altogether eliminate turbulence if velocities are sufficiently large. We demonstrate for pipe flow that appropriate distortions to the velocity profile lead to a complete collapse of turbulence and subsequently friction losses are reduced by as much as 95%. Counterintuitively, the return to laminar motion is accomplished by initially increasing turbulence intensities or by transiently amplifying wall shear. The usual measures of turbulence levels, such as the Reynolds number (Re) or shear stresses, do not account for the subsequent relaminarization. Instead an amplification mechanism measuring the interaction between eddies and the mean shear is found to set a threshold below which turbulence is suppressed beyond recovery.
We report results of sumulation of wave turbulence. Both inverse and direct cascades are observed. The definition of mesoscopic turbulence is given. This is a regime when the number of modes in a system involved in turbulence is high enough to qualit
atively simulate most of the processes but significantly smaller then the threshold which gives us quantitative agreement with the statistical description, such as kinetic equation. Such a regime takes place in numerical simulation, in essentially finite systems, etc.
