In the first part of this article, I summarise two centuries of research on turbulence. I also critically discuss some of the interpretations that are still in use, as turbulence remains an inherently non-linear problem that is still…
It has been generally assumed, since the work of von Karman and Howarth in 1938, that free decay of fully-developed turbulence is self-similar. We present here a simple phenomenological model of the decay of 3D incompressible turbulence,…
A unique form of turbulent-transport equations is derived based on first principles.The role of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics employed to describe the phenomenology is that it enables to single out the unique form consistent with…
We propose a theoretical framework where the dissipative structures of turbulence emerge from microscopic path uncertainty. By modeling fluid parcels as stochastic tracers governed by the Schr\"odinger Bridge (SB) variational principle, we…
Since Kolmogorov's theory, turbulence has been studied using various methods, many of which could be now be understood in a probabilistic framework. Herein, a comprehensive review of the advances made on stochastic theory of turbulence…
This paper explores decaying turbulence beneath surface waves that is initially isotropic and shear-free. We start by presenting phenomenology revealed by wave-averaged numerical simulations: an accumulation of angular momentum in coherent…
In this work, we present three important theorems related to the corrected Smagorinsky model for turbulence in time-dependent domains. The first theorem establishes an improved regularity criterion for the solution of the corrected…
We are concerned with the inviscid limit of the Navier-Stokes equations to the Euler equations for compressible fluids in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Motivated by the Kolmogorov hypothesis (1941) for incompressible flow, we introduce a Kolmogorov-type…
The present work studies the isotropic and homogeneous turbulence for incompressible fluids through a specific Lyapunov analysis, assuming that the turbulence is due to the bifurcations associated to the velocity field. The analysis…
We introduce corrections to the Navier-Stokes equation arising from the transitions between molecular states and the injection of external energy. In the simplest application of the proposed post Navier-Stokes equation, we find a…
Here, the perturbation equation for a dissipative medium is derived from the first principle from the linearized compressible Navier-Stokes equation without Stokes's hypothesis. The dispersion relations of this generic governing equation…
We study steady vortex sheet solutions of the Navier-Stokes in the limit of vanishing viscosity at fixed energy flow. We refer to this as the turbulent limit. These steady flows correspond to a minimum of the Euler Hamiltonian as a…
It is known that scale invariance is broken in the developed hydrodynamic turbulence due to intermittency, substantiating complexity of turbulent flows. Here we challenge the concept of broken scale invariance by establishing a hidden…
This paper is concerned with self-similar solutions of the steady Navier-Stokes system in a two-dimensional sector with the no-slip boundary condition. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of the angle of the sector and the…
We establish the global existence of forward self-similar solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for any divergence-free initial velocity that is homogeneous of degree $-1$ and locally H\"older continuous.…
We consider cascade models of turbulence which are obtained by restricting the Navier-Stokes equation to local interactions. By combining the results of the method of extended self-similarity and a novel subgrid model, we investigate the…
Practical results gained from statistical theories of turbulence usually appear in the form of an inertial range energy spectrum $\mathcal{E}(k)\sim k^{-q}$ and a cut-off wave-number $k_{c}$. For example, the values $q=5/3$ and $\ell…
The long-time large-distance behaviour of free decaying two dimensional turbulence is studied. Stochastic solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation are explicitly shown to follow renormalisation group trajectories. It is proven that solutions…
Based on the characteristics of the multi-scale and similarity at different scales in turbulent flow, we propose a scale decomposition for solving the turbulence problem of incompressible Newtonian fluid. The solution domain is decomposed…
Just 100 years ago, Nekrasov published the widely cited paper \cite{N1}, in which he derived the first of his two integral equations describing steady periodic waves on the free surface of water. We examine how Nekrasov arrived at these…
