An effort has been made to solve the Cauchy problem of the Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space by two methods. It is proved that the sum of the three vorticity components is a time-invariant in fluid motion. It has been proved that,…
The present work proposes a theory of isotropic and homogeneous turbulence for incompressible fluids, which assumes that the turbulence is due to the bifurcations associated to the velocity field. The theory is formulated using a…
Chaotic motion in time of a number of macroscopic systems has been analyzed, in the framework of scale relativity, as motion in a fractal space with topological dimension 3 and geodesics with fractal dimension 2. The motion equation is then…

We show that the Kolmogorov-1941 picture of fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence (with the scaling of the structure functions $S_n(R) \propto R^{n/3}$) necessarily leads to an anomalous scaling for correlation functions which include the…
We are concerned with the inviscid limit of the Navier-Stokes equations to the Euler equations in $\R^3$. We first observe that a pathwise Kolmogorov hypothesis implies the uniform boundedness of the $\alpha^{th}$-order fractional…
The random forced Navier-Stokes equation can be obtained as a variational problem of a proper action. In virtue of incompressibility, the integration over transverse components of the fields allows to cast the action in the form of a large…
We show that the classical Kolmogorov and Richardson scaling laws in fully developed turbulence are consistent with a random Gaussian force field. Numerical simulations of a shell model approximation to the Navier-Stokes equations suggest…

The Navier-Stokes equation for incompressible liquid is considered in the limit of infinitely large Reynolds number. It is assumed that the flow instability leads to generation of steady-state large-scale pulsations. The excitation and…
A three-dimensional direct numerical simulation (3D DNS) is performed to describe the turbulent flow in an enclosed rotor-stator cavity characterized by a large aspect ratio $G=(b-a)/h=18.32$ and a small radius ratio $a/b=0.15$ ($a$ and $b$…
We present results for the 1 dimensional stochastically forced Burgers equation when the spatial range of the forcing varies. As the range of forcing moves from small scales to large scales, the system goes from a chaotic, structureless…
We present a model describing evolution of the small-scale Navier-Stokes turbulence due to its stochastic distortions by much larger turbulent scales. This study is motivated by numerical findings (laval, 2001) that such interactions of…

The problem of describing the behavior of the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in three space dimensions has always been borderline. From one side, due to the viscosity term, smooth data seem to produce solutions with an everlasting…
