We present a new model of turbulence spreading in magnetically confined plasma. A basic question in turbulence spreading is how to sustain finite amplitude fluctuations in a stable subcritical region, where linear dissipation of the turbulence is strong? The answer to this question relies on a consistent treatment of mesoscale temperature profile corrugation and microscale turbulence. We argue ...

Recent experimental and theoretical studies of two-dimensional (2D) turbulence reveal that spectrally condensed turbulence which is a system of coupled large-scale coherent flow and broadband turbulence, is similar to plasma turbulence near the L-H transition threshold. Large condensate vortices fed via the turbulent inverse energy cascade, can control both the level of the broadband turbulence...

OBJECTIVE Fibromyalgia is characterized by diffuse musculoskeletal pain and discomfort. There are several reports regarding autonomic nervous system dysfunction in patients with fibromyalgia. Heart rate turbulence is expressed as ventriculophasic sinus arrhythmia and has been considered to reflect cardiac autonomic activity. Heart rate turbulence has been shown to be an independent and powerful...

In this article, I would like to express some of my views on the nature of turbulence. These views are mainly drawn from the author’s recent results on chaos in partial differential equations [10]. Fluid dynamicists believe that Navier-Stokes equations accurately describe turbulence. A mathematical proof on the global regularity of the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations is a very challeng...

Meso-scale turbulence is an innate phenomenon, distinct from inertial turbulence, that spontaneously occurs at low Reynolds number in fluidized biological systems. This spatiotemporal disordered flow radically changes nutrient and molecular transport in living fluids and can strongly affect the collective behaviour in prominent biological processes, including biofilm formation, morphogenesis an...

The aim of the current work is to investigate a series of new subgrid models by employing the Kolmogorov equation of ltered quantities (KEF), which is an exact relation of turbulence in physical space. Di erent formulations of KEF are derived, including the forms in velocity eld (homogeneous isotropic turbulence, inhomogeneous anisotropic turbulence, homogeneous shear turbulence, homogeneous ro...
