large-scale flow properties turbulent closure models universality of small scales

Turbulence (76F99) Renormalization group methods applied to problems in quantum field theory (81T17)

We discuss the concept of renormalization group (RNG) applied to the development of turbulent closure models, and its application to a variety of flow problems. An understanding of the spectral structure of turbulent flows, specifically, the fundamental assumption of the universality of the small scales, plays a key role in the application of the RNG technique. We show that the RNG theory provides a description, or model, of the small scales which can be used to isolate the large scales. This leads to equations of motion for the large scales, and to turbulence models for the prediction of large-scale flow properties. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0865.00060].
