The infinite Reynolds number limit and the quasi dissipative anomaly

Fluid Dynamics 2021-02-19 v2

Abstract

From a critical review of Onsager's pioneering paper which was published in 1949 we conclude that his analysis was at odds with other workers in the field because instead of taking the infinite Reynolds number limit he simply set the viscosity equal to zero which is not the same thing.
