Kolmogorov's theory of turbulence and its rigorous 1d model (Q2118377)

The author summarizes the main results (with some sketched proofs) of the book [One-dimensional turbulence and the stochastic Burgers equation. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (2021; Zbl 1486.60002)] coauthored with \textit{A. Boritchev} and \textit{S. Kuksin}. The author considers the 1D viscous Burgers equation with periodic boundary condition and additive noise which is spatially smooth. When the viscosity is small enough (equivalently, the Reynolds number is sufficiently big), he is able to rigorously estimate some quantities like dissipation scale, structure function and energy spectrum; the purpose is to compare these quantities with the predictions of Kolmogorov's turbulence theory, abbreviated as the K41 theory. The author concludes that the statistical properties of stochastic 1D Burgers equation with small viscosity are close analogues of the main laws of the K41 theory, which supports the belief that K41 theory is ``close to the truth''.
