Critical dimension for hydrodynamic turbulence
Abstract
Hydrodynamic turbulence exhibits nonequilibrium behaviour with energy spectrum, and equilibrium behaviour with energy spectrum and zero viscosity, where is the space dimension. Using recursive renormalization group {in Craya-Herring basis}, we show that the nonequilibrium solution is valid only for , whereas equilibrium solution with zero viscosity is the only solution for . Thus, is the critical dimension for hydrodynamic turbulence. In addition, we show that the energy flux changes sign from positive to negative near . We also compute the energy flux and Kolmogorov's constants for various 's, and observe that our results are in good agreement with past numerical results.
