### Temperature fluctuations induced by turbulent dissipation

In practically every fluid flow, kinetic energy is converted into heat through viscous friction. In a turbulent flow this heat is generated in an inhomogeneous way and the temperature (...)

### Axisymmetric turbulence

Recently, theoretical progress has been made on the statistical mechanics of axisymmetric turbulence. The predictions include the formation of large-scale structures. Results in agreement with (...)

### Non-equilibrium turbulence

In a wide range of turbulent flows, the distribution of energy between scales is well-described by the Kolmogorov-Richardson cascade phenomenology. But when such an equibrium-cascade is (...)

### Depletion of nonlinearity

It is often mistakenly assumed that statistical approaches such as the Direct Interaction Approximation or EDQNM cannot predict anything on structure related issues since all phase-information is (...)

### Lagrangian Statistics

In the Lagrangian description, i.e., following individual fluid particles, the complexity of turbulence manifests itself in the curvature and tortuosity of the fluid particle trajectories. We (...)
