A general model for stationary, time-wise turbulent velocity is presented and discussed. This approach, inspired by modeling ideas of Barndorff-Nielsen and Schimgel, is coherent with the K41 hypothesis of local isotropy, and it allows us to…
The randomly driven Burgers equation with pressure is considered as a 1D model of strong turbulence of compressible fluid. It is shown that infinitely small pressure provides a finite effect on the velocity and density statistics and this…

Intermittency is an essential property of astrophysical fluids, which demonstrate an extended inertial range. As intermittency violates self-similarity of motions, it gets impossible to naively extrapolate the properties of fluid obtained…
We analyze the field theory of fully developed Burgers turbulence. Its key elements are shock fields, which characterize the singularity statistics of the velocity field. The shock fields enter an operator product expansion describing…

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…
In fluid dynamics governed by the one dimensional inviscid Burgers equation $\partial_t u+u\partial_x(u)=0$, the stirring is explained by the sticky particles model. A Markov process $([Z^1_t,Z^2_t],\,t\geq0)$ describes the motion of random…
Whether turbulence intermittencies shall be described by a log-Poisson, a log-stable pdf or other distributions is still debated nowadays. In this paper, a bridge between polymer physics, self-avoiding walk and random vortex stretching is…
Using direct numerical simulation of forced isotropic turbulence at $\text{Re}_\lambda \approx 1300$ and $\approx 433$, together with two independent Markov-by-construction null surrogates, we measure the Markov--Einstein coherence length…
This paper is concerned with the processes of spatial propagation and penetration of turbulence from the regions where it is locally excited into initially laminar regions. The phenomenon has come to be known as "turbulence spreading" and…
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…
In recent works, we proposed a hypothesis, according to which turbulence in gases is created by the mean field effect of an intermolecular potential. We discovered that, in a numerically simulated inertial flow, turbulent solutions indeed…
