Linear Wave Packets      Plane Poiseuille flowFigure 1. Localized wave packet in Plane Poiseuille flows with Re=1000. An impulsive initial condition, located at the channel mid-plane is obtained by linear superposition of 7380 waves. The longitudinal (α) and transversal (β) components of the polar wavenumber...

Small-Scale Anisotropy in Turbulent Shear-less Mixing The Philofluid Research Group is dedicated to advancing the understanding of turbulence dynamics through both laboratory and numerical investigations. Our focus lies in the small-scale features of turbulence, which involve a complex range of scales, each governed by distinct physics....
