In fluid dynamics governed by the one dimensional inviscid Burgers equation $\partial_t u+u\partial_x(u)=0$, the stirring is explained by the sticky particles model. A Markov process $([Z^1_t,Z^2_t],\,t\geq0)$ describes the motion of random…

In his first 1941 paper Kolmogorov assumed that the velocity has increments which are homogeneous and independent of the velocity at a suitable reference point. This assumption of local homogeneity is consistent with the nonlinear dynamics…
