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 $ε$ and $N$. It is found that $ε$ satisfies $ε\le ν^{2α-1}\norm{u_*}_\infty^{2(1-α)} \norm{(-Δ)^{α/2}u_*}^2$, where $α<1$ and $u_*=u(x,t_*)$ is the velocity field at $t=t_*$. Given $ε>0$ in the limit $ν\to0$, this implies that the energy spectrum remains no steeper than $k^{-2}$ in that limit. For the critical $k^{-2}$ scaling, the bound for $ε$ reduces to $ε\le\sqrt{3}k_0\norm{u_0}_\infty\norm{u_0}^2$, where $k_0$ marks the lower end of the inertial range and $u_0=u(x,0)$. This implies $N\le\sqrt{3}L\norm{u_0}_\infty/ν$, 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 $ε$ and $t_*$, consistent with analytic values derived from the corresponding limiting weak solution.
We use the one-dimensional Burgers equation to illustrate the effect of replacing the standard Laplacian dissipation term by a more general function of the Laplacian -- of which hyperviscosity is the best known example -- in equations of hydrodynamics. We analyze the asymptotic structure of solutions in the Fourier space at very high wave-numbers by introducing an approach applicable to a wide class of hydrodynamical equations whose solutions are calculated in the limit of vanishing Reynolds numbers from algebraic recursion relations involving iterated integrations. We give a detailed analysis…
We present a theoretical and numerical study of Fourier space triad phase dynamics in one-dimensional stochastically forced Burgers equation at Reynolds number $\mathrm{Re} \approx 2.7 \times 10^4$. We demonstrate that Fourier triad phases over the inertial range display a collective behaviour characterised by intermittent periods of synchronisation and alignment, reminiscent of Kuramoto model (Kuramoto 1984) and directly related to collisions of shocks in physical space. These periods of synchronisation favour efficient energy fluxes across the inertial range towards small scales, resulting i…
This investigation is a part of a research program aiming to characterize the extreme behavior possible in hydrodynamic models by analyzing the maximum growth of certain fundamental quantities. We consider here the rate of growth of the classical and fractional enstrophy in the fractional Burgers equation in the subcritical and supercritical regimes. Since solutions to this equation exhibit, respectively, globally well-posed behavior and finite-time blow-up in these two regimes, this makes it a useful model to study the maximum instantaneous growth of enstrophy possible in these two distinct s…
We calculate the rate of ocean waves energy dissipation due to whitecapping by numerical simulation of deterministic phase resolving model for dynamics of ocean surface. Two independent numerical experiments are performed. First, we solve the $3D$ Hamiltonian equation that includes three- and four-wave interactions. This model is valid for moderate values of surface steepness only, $μ< 0.09$. Then we solve the exact Euler equation for non-stationary potential flow of an ideal fluid with a free surface in $2D$ geometry. We use the conformal mapping of domain filled with fluid onto the lower hal…
We simulate KdV and dissipation-less Burgers equations using delta-correlated random noise as initial condition. We observe that the energy fluxes of the two equations remain zero throughout, thus indicating their equilibrium nature. We characterize the equilibrium states using Gaussian probability distribution for the real space field, and using Boltzmann distribution for the modal energy. We show that the single soliton of the KdV equation too exhibits zero energy flux, hence it is in equilibrium. We argue that the energy flux is a good measure for ascertaining whether a system is in equilib…
Energy spectrum of turbulent fluids exhibit a bump at an intermediate wavenumber, between the inertial and the dissipation range. This bump is called bottleneck. Such bottlenecks are also seen in the energy spectrum of the solutions of hyperviscous Burgers equation. Previous work, have shown that this bump corresponds to oscillations in real space velocity field. In this paper we present numerical and analytical results of how the bottleneck and its' real space signature, the oscillations, grow as we tune the order of hyperviscosity. We look at a parameter regime $α\in [1,2]$ where $α= 1$ corr…
The helical magnetorotational instability is known to work for resistive rotational flows with comparably steep negative or extremely steep positive shear. The corresponding lower and upper Liu limits of the shear are continuously connected when some axial electrical current is allowed to flow through the rotating fluid. Using a local approximation we demonstrate that the magnetohydrodynamic behavior of this dissipation-induced instability is intimately connected with the nonmodal growth and the pseudospectrum of the underlying purely hydrodynamic problem.

We consider free surface dynamics of a two-dimensional incompressible fluid with odd viscosity. The odd viscosity is a peculiar part of the viscosity tensor which does not result in dissipation and is allowed when parity symmetry is broken. For the case of incompressible fluids, the odd viscosity manifests itself through the free surface (no stress) boundary conditions. We first find the free surface wave solutions of hydrodynamics in the linear approximation and study the dispersion of such waves. As expected, the surface waves are chiral and even exist in the absence of gravity and vanishing…
We study experimentally the dynamics and statistics of capillary waves forced by random steep gravity waves mechanically generated in laboratory. Capillary waves are produced here by gravity waves from nonlinear wave interactions. Using a spatio-temporal measurement of the free-surface, we characterize statistically the random regimes of capillary waves in the spatial and temporal Fourier spaces. For a significant wave steepness ($0.2-0.3$), power-law spectra are observed both in space and time, defining a turbulent regime of capillary waves transferring energy from large scale to small scale.…
Wave attenuation by ice floes is an important parameter for modelling the Arctic Oceans. At present, attenuation coefficients are extracted from linear models as a function of the incident wave period and floe thickness. Recent explorations in the Antarctic Mixed Ice Zone (MIZ) revealed a further dependence on wave amplitude, suggesting that nonlinear contributions are non-negligible. An experimental model for wave attenuation by a single ice floe in a wave flume is here presented. Observations are compared with linear predictions based on wave scattering. Results indicate that linear models p…
We consider the nonlinear evolution of an unstable baroclinic wave in a regime of rotating stratified flow that is of relevance to interior circulation in the oceans and in the atmosphere---a regime characterized by small large-scale Rossby and Froude numbers, a small vertical to horizontal aspect ratio, and no bounding horizontal surfaces. Using high-resolution simulations of the non-hydrostatic Boussinesq equations and companion integrations of the balanced quasi-geostrophic equations, we present evidence for a local route to dissipation of balanced energy directly through interior turbulent…
In binaries composed of either early-type stars or white dwarfs, the dominant tidal process involves the excitation of internal gravity waves (IGWs), which propagate towards the stellar surface, and their dissipation via nonlinear wave breaking. We perform 2D hydrodynamical simulations of this wave breaking process in a stratified, isothermal atmosphere. We find that, after an initial transient phase, the dissipation of the IGWs naturally generates a sharp critical layer, separating the lower stationary region (with no mean flow) and the upper "synchronized" region (with the mean flow velocity…
Surface quasi geostrophy (SQG) describes the two-dimensional active transport of a temperature field in a strongly stratified and rotating environment. Besides its relevance to geophysics, SQG bears formal resemblance with various flows of interest for turbulence studies, from passive scalar and Burgers to incompressible fluids in two and three dimensions. This analogy is here substantiated by considering the turbulent SQG regime emerging from deterministic and smooth initial data prescribed by the superposition of a few Fourier modes. While still unsettled in the inviscid case, the initial va…

We explore the effect of the magnetic Prandtl number Pm on energy and dissipation in fully resolved direct numerical simulations of steady-state, mechanically forced homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the range Pm = 1/32 to 32. We compare the spectra and show that if the simulations are not fully resolved, the steepness of the scaling of the kinetic-to-magnetic dissipation ratio with Pm is overestimated. We also present results of decaying turbulence with helical and nonhelical magnetic fields, where we find nonhelical reverse spectral transfer for Pm < 1. The results of this system…
