Supertransient magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in Keplerian shear flows.
A subcritical transition to turbulence in magnetized Keplerian shear flows is investigated by using a statistical approach. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the shearing box equations with zero net magnetic flux are employed to determine the transition from decaying to sustained turbulence as a function of the magnetic Reynolds number R{m}. The results reveal no clear transition to su...
متن کاملDouble scaling and intermittency in shear dominated flows.
The nature of intermittency in shear dominated flows changes with respect to homogeneous and isotropic conditions since the process of energy transfer is affected by the turbulent kinetic energy production associated with the Reynolds stresses. For these flows, a new form of refined similarity law is able to describe the increased level of intermittency. Ideally a length scale associated with t...
متن کاملIntermittency in Plasma Turbulence
Intermittency in fluid turbulence can be evidentiated through the analysis of Probability Distribution Functions (PDF) for velocity fluctuations, which display a strong non–gaussian behavior at small scales. In this paper we investigate the occurrence of intermittency in plasma turbulence by studying the departure from the gaussian distribution of PDF for both velocity and magnetic fluctuations...
متن کاملIntermittency in integrable turbulence.
We examine the statistical properties of nonlinear random waves that are ruled by the one-dimensional defocusing and integrable nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Using fast detection techniques in an optical fiber experiment, we observe that the probability density function of light fluctuations is characterized by tails that are lower than those predicted by a Gaussian distribution. Moreover, by...
متن کاملIntermittency of Burgers’ Turbulence
We consider the tails of probability density function (PDF) for the velocity that satisfies Burgers equation driven by a Gaussian large-scale force. The saddle-point approximation is employed in the path integral so that the calculation of the PDF tails boils down to finding the special field-force configuration (instanton) that realizes the extremum of probability. For the PDFs of velocity and...
