Abstract: Let

m a t h b b I! H s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{3}

, with

V o l (m a t h b b I! H) s i m L^{3}

, contain a fluid of viscosity

u

and velocity

m a t h r m U_{i} (x, t)

with

(x, t) i n m a t h b b I! H i m e s [0, i n f t y)

, satisfying the Navier-Stokes equations with some boundary conditions on

p a r t i a l m a t h b b I! H

and evolving from initial Cauchy data. Now let

m a t h s c r B (x)

be a Gaussian random field defined for all

x i n m a t h b b I! H

with expectation

m a t h s f E l a n g l e m a t h s c r B (x) a n g l e = 0

, and a Bargmann-Fock binary correlation

with

l a m b d a l e L

. Define a volume-averaged Reynolds number

m a t h b f R e (m a t h b b I! H, t) = (| V o l (m a t h b b I! H) |^{- 1} i n t_{m a t h b b I! H} | m a t h r m U_{i} (x, t) | d m u (x) L / u

. The critical Reynolds number is

m a t h b f {R e}_{c} (m a t h b b I! H)

so that turbulence evolves within

m a t h b b I! H

for

t

such that

m a t h b f R e (m a t h b b I! H, t) > m a t h b f {R e}_{c} (m a t h b b I! H)

. Let

p s i (| m a t h b f R e (m a t h b b I! H, t) - m a t h b f {R e}_{c} (m a t h b b I! H) |)

be an arbitrary monotone-increasing functional. The turbulent flow evolving within

m a t h b b I! H

is described by the random field

m a t h s c r U_{i} (x, t)

via a 'mixing' ansatz

where

is a constant and

m a t h b b S_{m a t h f r a k C} [m a t h b f R e (m a t h b b I! H, t)]

an indicator function. The flow grows increasingly random if

m a t h b f R e (m a t h b b I! H, t)

increases with

t

so that this is a 'control parameter'. The turbulent flow

m a t h s c r U_{i} (x, t)

is a solution of stochastically averaged N-S equations. Reynolds-type velocity correlations are estimated.
