TLDR
The theory of two-dimensional turbulence is reviewed and unified, and some hydrodynamic and plasma applications are considered in this paper, where some equations of incompressible hydrodynamics, absolute statistical equilibrium, spectral transport of energy and enstrophy, turbulence on the surface of a rotating sphere, turbulent diffusion, MHD turbulence, and two dimensional superflow are discussed.Abstract:
The theory of two-dimensional turbulence is reviewed and unified, and some hydrodynamic and plasma applications are considered. The topics covered include some equations of incompressible hydrodynamics, absolute statistical equilibrium, spectral transport of energy and enstrophy, turbulence on the surface of a rotating sphere, turbulent diffusion, MHD turbulence, and two-dimensional superflow. Finally, an attempt is made to assess the status and future of the principal research topics which have been discussed.read more

Physics of microswimmers--single particle motion and collective behavior: a review.
TL;DR: The physics of locomotion of biological and synthetic microswimmers, and the collective behavior of their assemblies, are reviewed and the hydrodynamic aspects of swimming are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emergence of isolated coherent vortices in turbulent flow
TL;DR: In this article, a study of two-dimensional and geostrophic turbulent flows is presented, showing that the flow structure has vorticity concentrated in a small fraction of the spatial domain, and these concentrations typically have lifetimes long compared with the characteristic time for nonlinear interactions in turbulent flow (i.e. an eddy turnaround time).
Journal ArticleDOI
Percolation, statistical topography, and transport in random media
TL;DR: A review of classical percolation theory is presented, with an emphasis on novel applications to statistical topography, turbulent diffusion, and heterogeneous media as discussed by the authors, where a geometrical approach to studying transport in random media, which captures essential qualitative features of the described phenomena, is advocated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics of Microswimmers - Single Particle Motion and Collective Behavior
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the physics of locomotion of biological and synthetic microswimmers, and the collective behavior of their assemblies, including synchronization and the concerted beating of flagella and cilia.

General circulation experiments with the primitive equations
TL;DR: In this article, an extended period numerical integration of a baroclinic primitive equation model has been made for the simulation and the study of the dynamics of the atmosphere's general circulation, and the solution corresponding to external gravitational propagation is filtered by requiring the vertically integrated divergence to vanish identically.

Journal ArticleDOI
Ordering, metastability and phase transitions in two-dimensional systems
TL;DR: In this article, a new definition of order called topological order is proposed for two-dimensional systems in which no long-range order of the conventional type exists, and the possibility of a phase transition characterized by a change in the response of the system to an external perturbation is discussed in the context of a mean field type of approximation.
Book
The theory of homogeneous turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, the kinematics of the field of homogeneous turbulence and the universal equilibrium theory of decay of the energy-containing eddies are discussed. But the authors focus on the dynamics of decay and not on the probability distribution of u(x).
