  • Extreme events in turbulent flow are associated with intense stretching of concentrated vortices, intermittent in both space and time. The occurrence of such events has been investigated in a turbulent flow driven by counter-rotating propellors (Debue et al., J. Fluid Mech., 2021), and local flow structures have been identified. Interesting theoretical problems arise in relation to this work; these are briefly considered in this focus paper.
