Travelling-wave solutions of the inviscid Burgers equation having smooth initial wave profiles of suitable shapes are known to develop shocks (infinite gradients) in finite times. Such singular solutions are characterized by energy spectra that scale with the wave number $k$ as $k^{-2}$. **** In this study, we carry out an analysis which verifies the dynamical features described above and derive upper bounds for $epsilon$ and $N$. It is found that $epsilon$ satisfies $epsilon le u^{2alpha-1} orm{u_*}_infty^{2(1-alpha)} orm{(-Delta)^{alpha/2}u_*}^2$, where $alpha<1$ and $u_*=u(x,t_*)$ is the velocity field at $t=t_*$. Given $epsilon>0$ in the limit $ uto0$, this implies that the energy spectrum remains no steeper than $k^{-2}$ in that limit. For the critical $k^{-2}$ scaling, the bound for $epsilon$ reduces to $epsilonlesqrt{3}k_0 orm{u_0}_infty orm{u_0}^2$, where $k_0$ marks the lower end of the inertial range and $u_0=u(x,0)$. This implies $Nlesqrt{3}L orm{u_0}_infty/ u$, where $L$ is the domain size, which is shown to coincide with a rigorous estimate for the number of degrees of freedom defined in terms of local Lyapunov exponents. We demonstrate both analytically and numerically an instance where the $k^{-2}$ scaling is uniquely realizable. The numerics also return $epsilon$ and $t_*$, consistent with analytic values derived from the corresponding limiting weak solution.
The goal of this study is to analyze the fine structure of nonlinear modal interactions in different 1D Burgers and 3D Navier-Stokes flows. This analysis is focused on preferential alignments characterizing the phases of Fourier modes participating i
An original experimental setup has been elaborated in order to get a better view of turbulent flows in a von Karman geometry. The availability of a very fast camera allowed to follow in time the evolution of the flows. A surprising finding is that th
Laboratory experiments were conducted to study heat transport characteristics in a nonhomogeneously heated fluid annulus subjected to rotation along the vertical axis (z). The nonhomogeneous heating was obtained by imposing radial and vertical temper
We observe the emergence of strong vertical drafts in direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations in a range of parameters of geophysical interest. These structures, which appear intermittently in space and time, generate turbulence and
The hydrodynamics of a liquid-vapour interface in contact with an heterogeneous surface is largely impacted by the presence of defects at the smaller scales. Such defects introduce morphological disturbances on the contact line and ultimately determi
