Abstract: Practical results gained from statistical theories of turbulence usually appear in the form of an inertial range energy spectrum $mathcalE(k)sim{k}^{-q}$ and a cut-off wave-number $k_c$. For example, the values $q=5/3$ and $ell{k}_{c}simmathit{Re}^{3/4}$ are intimately associated with Kolmogorov's 1941 theory. To extract such spectral information from the Navier-Stokes equations, Doering and Gibbon (2002) introduced the idea of forming a set of dynamic wave-numbers $kapp{a}_n(t)$ from ratios of norms of solutions. The time averages of the $kapp{a}_n(t)$ can be interpreted as the 2$n$th-moments of the energy spectrum. They found that $1<qleqslant8/3$, thereby confirming the earlier work of Sulem and Frisch (1975) who showed that when spatial intermittency is included, no inertial range can exist in the limit of vanishing viscosity unless $qleqslant8/3$. Since the $kapp{a}_n(t)$ are based on Navier-Stokes weak solutions, this approach connects empirical predictions of the energy spectrum with the mathematical analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations. This method is developed to show how it can be applied to many hydrodynamic models such as the two dimensional Navier--Stokes equations (in both the direct- and inverse-cascade regimes), the forced Burgers equation and shell models.
