A proper description of this intermittent phenomenon, however, is extremely difficult, requiring a new non-perturbative theory, such as statistical description. Furthermore, multi-scale interactions are responsible for inevitably complex dynamics in strongly non-equilibrium systems, a proper understanding of which remains a main challenge in classical physics. As a remarkable consequence of multi-scale interaction, a quasi-equilibrium state (the so-called self-organisation) can however be maintained. This special issue aims to present different theories of statistical mechanics to understand this challenging multiscale problem in turbulence. The 14 contributions to this Special issue focus on the various aspects of intermittency, coherent structures, self-organisation, bifurcation and nonlocality. Given the ubiquity of turbulence, the contributions cover a broad range of systems covering laboratory fluids (channel flow, the Von Kármán flow), plasmas (magnetic fusion), laser cavity, wind turbine, air flow around a high-speed train, solar wind and industrial application.non-localityhybrid (U)RANS-LESchannel flowthermodynamicsLévy noisenon-local theorylow speed streaksdrop breakagepipe flow boundary layerbifurcationLangevin equationattached and separated flowsanomalous diffusionkinetic theorystochastic processesself-organisationspatiotemporal chaoschaosbifurcationsturbulent flowLyapunov theoryRushton turbineturbulenceintermittencyinformation lengthdenoisemicrocavity laserfree vortex wakeIDDES methodologylocal intermittencycontrol strategypopulation balance equationTsallis entropycoherent structuresFokker-Planck equationenergy cascadefluid dynamicshigh efficiency impellerfractalslarge eddy simulationshear flowsheat transportmultifractaldrop coalescencecontinuous wavelet transformT-junctionscaling propertiesfloating wind turbinescalingfractional Fokker–Plank equationmagnetic confinement fusionmulti-scale problemcoherent structuresolar windtrailing-edge flapturbulent transitionturbulent boundary layercomplex dynamicsstatistical mechanicsKim Eun-jinauth1331068BOOK9910346666703321Intermittency and Self-Organisation in Turbulence and Statistical Mechanics3040095UNINA
