The quest to observe the Turbulent Cascade in real time

I'll talk about theory, simulations and experiments aimed at uncovering the time dynamics of the turbulent cascade. We focus on the collision between two vortex rings, and will present two iterative mechanisms for generating turbulence, one based on iterated crow instabilities and another based on iterated elliptical instabilities.
