Lessons for turbulence.

From MaRDI portal





Incompressible turbulence is reviewed from a mathematical point of view. The Navier-Stokes equations are described, and the main results for the initial value problem are recalled. Furthermore, typical lengthscales are introduced. Some basic ideas of statistical hydrodynamics are discussed together with the conjectured universality of turbulence for large Reynolds numbers. The multiscale character of turbulence is interpretated in terms of Hölder regularity of the solution. Finally, the problem of random advection together with Kraichnan model are exposed, and some remarks about chaos and turbulence are made. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0960.00034].
