Turbulence is an ubiquitous phenomenon in natural and industrial flows. Since the celebrated work of Kolmogorov in 1941, understanding the statistical properties of fully developed turbulence has remained a major quest. In particular,…
We study the statistical properties of stationary, isotropic and homogeneous turbulence in two-dimensional (2D) flows, focusing on the direct cascade, that is on wave-numbers large compared to the integral scale, where both energy and…

Equations that follow from the Navier-Stokes equation and incompressibility but with no other approximations are called "exact" here. Exact equations relating 2nd and 3rd-order structure functions are obtained, as is an exact…
In fairly general conditions we give explicit (smooth) solutions for the potential flow. We show that, rigorously speaking, the equations of the fluid mechanics have not rotational solutions. However, within the usual approximations of an…

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…
Exact equations are derived that relate velocity structure functions of arbitrary order with other statistics. "Exact" means that no approximations are used except that the Navier-Stokes equation and incompressibility condition are assumed…
