A Lorenz-like model was set up recently, to study the hydrodynamic instabilities in a driven active matter system. This Lorenz model differs from the standard one in that all three equations contain non-linear terms. The additional non-linear term comes from the active matter contribution to the stress tensor. In this work, we investigate the non-linear properties of this Lorenz model both analytically and numerically. The significant feature of the model is the passage to chaos through a complete set of period-doubling bifurcations above the Hopf point for inverse Schmidt numbers above a critical value. Interestingly enough, at these Schmidt numbers a strange attractor and stable fixed points coexist beyond the homoclinic point. At the Hopf point, the strange attractor disappears leaving a high-period periodic orbit. This periodic state becomes the expected limit cycle through a set of bifurcations and then undergoes a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations leading to the formation of a strange attractor. This is the first situation where a Lorenz-like model has shown a set of consecutive period-doubling bifurcations in a physically relevant transition to turbulence.

Turbulence in driven stratified active matter is considered. The relevant parameters characterizing the problem are the Reynolds number Re and an active matter Richardson-like number,R. In the mixing limit,Re>>1, R<<1, we show that the standard Kolmo
gorov energy spectrum 5/3 law is realized. On the other hand, in the stratified limit, Re>>1,R>>1, there is a new turbulence universality class with a 7/5 law. The crossover from one regime to the other is discussed in detail. Experimental predictions and probes are also discussed.
The collective motion of microswimmers in suspensions induce patterns of vortices on scales that are much larger than the characteristic size of a microswimmer, attaining a state called bacterial turbulence. Hydrodynamic turbulence acts on even large
r scales and is dominated by inertial transport of energy. Using an established modification of the Navier-Stokes equation that accounts for the small scale forcing of hydrodynamic flow by microswimmers, we study the properties of a dense supensions of microswimmers in two dimensions, where the conservation of enstrophy can drive an inverse cascade through which energy is accumulated on the largest scales. We find that the dynamical and statistical properties of the flow show a sharp transition to the formation of vortices at the largest length scale. The results show that 2d bacterial and hydrodynamic turbulence are separated by a subcritical phase transition.
We investigate universality of the Eulerian velocity structure functions using velocity fields obtained from the stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) technique in experiments and the direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the Navier-Stokes e
quations. We show that the numerical and experimental velocity structure functions up to order 9 follow a log-universality; we find that they collapse on a universal curve, if we use units that include logarithmic dependence on the Reynolds number. We then investigate the meaning and consequences of such log-universality, and show that it is connected with the properties of a multifractal free energy, based on an analogy between multifractal and themodynamics. We show that in such a framework, the existence of a fluctuating dissipation scale is associated with a phase transition describing the relaminarisation of rough velocity fields with different Holder exponents. Such a phase transition has been already observed using the Lagrangian velocity structure functions, but was so far believed to be out of reach for the Eulerian data.
The results of experimental and theoretical studies of the parametric decay instability of capillary waves on the surface of superfluid helium He-II are reported. It is demonstrated that in a system of turbulent capillary waves low-frequency waves ar
e generated along with the direct Kolmogorov-Zakharov cascade of capillary turbulence. The effects of low-frequency damping and the discreteness of the wave spectrum are discussed.
We present a comprehensive study of the statistical features of a three-dimensional time-reversible Navier-Stokes (RNS) system, wherein the standard viscosity $ u$ is replaced by a fluctuating thermostat that dynamically compensates for fluctuations
in the total energy. We analyze the statistical features of the RNS steady states in terms of a non-negative dimensionless control parameter $mathcal{R}_r$, which quantifies the balance between the fluctuations of kinetic energy at the forcing length scale $ell_{rm f}$ and the total energy $E_0$. We find that the system exhibits a transition from a high-enstrophy phase at small $mathcal{R}_r$, where truncation effects tend to produce partially thermalized states, to a hydrodynamical phase with low enstrophy at large $mathcal{R}_r$. Using insights from a diffusion model of turbulence (Leith model), we argue that the transition is in fact akin to a continuous phase transition, where $mathcal{R}_r$ indeed behaves as a thermodynamic control parameter, e.g., a temperature, the enstrophy plays the role of an order parameter, while the symmetry breaking parameter $h$ is (one over) the truncation scale $k_{rm max}$. We find that the signatures of the phase transition close to the critical point $mathcal{R}_r^star$ can essentially be deduced from a heuristic mean-field Landau free energy. This point of view allows us to reinterpret the relevant asymptotics in which the dynamical ensemble equivalence conjectured by Gallavotti, Phys.Lett.A, 223, 1996 could hold true. Our numerics indicate that the low-order statistics of the 3D RNS are indeed qualitatively similar to those observed in direct numerical simulations of the standard Navier-Stokes (NS) equations with viscosity chosen so as to match the average value of the reversible viscosity.
