Local analysis of the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is used to obtain estimates on the energy and enstrophy fluxes involving Taylor and Kraichnan length scales and the size of the domain. In the framework of zero driving force and…

We propose a two-dimensional generalization of Constantin-Lax-Majda model [2]. Some results about singular solutions are given. This model might be the first step toward the singular solutions of the Euler equations. Along the same line…
We use recent developments in the theory of finite-time dynamical systems to objectively locate the material boundaries of coherent vortices in two-dimensional Navier--Stokes turbulence. We show that these boundaries are optimal in the…
Numerical and analytical studies of decaying, two-dimensional (2D) Navier-Stokes (NS) turbulence at high Reynolds numbers are reported. The effort is to determine computable distinctions between two different formulations of maximum entropy…
In this article, I would like to express some of my views on the nature of turbulence. These views are mainly drawn from the author's recent results on chaos in partial differential equations \cite{Li04}. Fluid dynamicists believe that…
Wave turbulence and eddy turbulence are the two regimes that we may encounter in nature. The attention of fluid mechanics being mainly focused on incompressible hydrodynamics, it is usually the second regime that is treated in books,…
Two-dimensional turbulence appears to be a more formidable problem than three-dimensional turbulence despite the numerical advantage of working with one less dimension. In the present paper we review recent numerical investigations of the…
We consider the flow of a Newtonian fluid in a three-dimensional domain, rotating about a vertical axis and driven by a vertically invariant horizontal body-force. This system admits vertically invariant solutions that satisfy the 2D…
For the steady-state direct cascade of two-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence, we derive analytically the probability of strong vorticity fluctuations. The probability density function (pdf) of the vorticity coarse-grained over a scale in…
In this paper, we establish the ergodicity for stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equations driven by a highly degenerate pure jump L\'evy noise. The noise could appear in as few as four directions. This gives an affirmative anwser to a…
Regularization by noise for certain classes of fluid dynamic equations, a theme dear to Giuseppe Da Prato (see G. Da Prato and A. Debussche, Ergodicity for the 3D stochastic Navier-Stokes equations, J. Math. Pures Appl., 2003), is reviewed…
In the following paper we will consider Navier-Stokes problem and it's interpretation by hyperbolic waves, focusing on wave propagation. We will begin with solution for linear waves, then present problem for non-linear waves. Later we will…
We inquire the scaling properties of the 2d Navier-Stokes equation sustained by a forcing field with Gaussian statistics, white-noise in time and with power-law correlation in momentum space of degree $2-2 \eps$. This is at variance with…
A theory for the evolution of a metric $g$ driven by the equations of three-dimensional continuum mechanics is developed. This metric in turn allows for the local existence of an evolving three-dimensional Riemannian manifold immersed in…
This paper reports several new classes of weakly unstable recurrent solutions of the 2+1-dimensional Euler equation on a square domain with periodic boundary conditions. These solutions have a number of remarkable properties which…

We inquire the statistical properties of the pair formed by the Navier-Stokes equation for an incompressible velocity field and the advection-diffusion equation for a scalar field transported in the same flow in two dimensions (2d). The…
We consider freely decaying two-dimensional isotropic turbulence. It is usually assumed that, in such turbulence, the energy spectrum at small wave number, takes the form, where is the two-dimensional version of Loitsyansky's integral. In…
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…
