This paper was originally published in June 2013 in JFM (vol. 725). There was one result concerning an expression of viscous dissipation in convective flows and a second result on the condition of applicability of the anelastic liquid…
We present rigorous estimates for some physical quantities related to turbulent and non-turbulent channel flows driven by a uniform pressure gradient. Such results are based on the concept of stationary statistical solution, which is…
Complex systems can convert energy imparted by nonequilibrium forces to regulate how quickly they transition between long lived states. While such behavior is ubiquitous in natural and synthetic systems, currently there is no general…
Variational turbulence is among the few approaches providing rigorous results in turbulence. In addition, it addresses a question of direct practical interest, namely the rate of energy dissipation. Unfortunately, only an upper bound is…
We examine the changes in kinetic energy dissipation of a turbulent channel flow caused by a spanwise magnetic field. The numerical study is based on our simulation data from [Krasnov, Zikanov, Schumacher, Boeck, Phys. Fluids 20, 095105…
A new variational problem for upper bounds on the rate of energy dissipation in body-forced shear flows is formulated by including a balance parameter in the derivation from the Navier-Stokes equations. The resulting min-max problem is…
We study the problem of body-force driven shear flows in a plane channel of width l with free-slip boundaries. A mini-max variational problem for upper bounds on the bulk time averaged energy dissipation rate epsilon is derived from the…
The precision of currents in Markov networks is bounded by dissipation via the so-called thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR). In our work, we demonstrate a similar inequality that bounds the precision of the static current response to…
The rate of energy dissipation in solutions of the body-forced 3-d incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is rigorously estimated with a focus on its dependence on the nature of the driving force. For square integrable body forces the high…

It is shown that a newly derived "exact expression" for radiation of an accelerated charge in the recent literature is simply incorrect, having arisen because of a wrong relativistic transformation of the distance parameter. The ensuing…
We present a new rigorous method for estimating statistical quantities in fluid dynamics such as the (average) energy dissipation rate directly from the equations of motion. The method is tested on shear flow, channel flow,…
The energy in turbulent flow can be amplified by compression, when the compression occurs on a timescale shorter than the turbulent dissipation time. This mechanism may play a part in sustaining turbulence in various astrophysical systems,…

We extend the Doering-Constantin approach to upper bounds on energy dissipation in turbulent flows by introducing a balance parameter into the variational principle. This parameter governs the relative weight of different contributions to…
The cited article contains a serious flaw. A remedy is found in articles by other authors.
We are concerned with flow enhanced mixing of passive scalars in the presence of diffusion. Under the assumption that the velocity gradient is suitably integrable, we provide upper bounds on the exponential rates of enhanced dissipation.…
The Smagorinsky model, unmodified, is often reported to severely overdiffuse flows. Previous estimates of the energy dissipation rate of the Smagorinsky model for shear flows reflect a blow up of model energy dissipation as Re increases.…
