We elucidate the unifying aspects of self-organized criticality (SOC) and turbulence through analysis of data from a laboratory dusty plasma monolayer. We compare analysis of experimental data with simulations of a twodimensional (2D) many-body system, of 2D chaotic fluid flow, and two different SOC-models, the Zhang and the Bak–Tang–Wiesenfeld (BTW) models, all subject to steady random forcing...
