Flow reversal in a simple dynamical model of turbulence.
In this Letter, we study a simple hydrodynamical model showing abrupt flow reversals at random times. For a suitable range of parameters, we show that the dynamics of flow reversal is accurately described by stochastic differential equations, where the noise represents the effect of turbulence.
