In 1959, Batchelor predicted that the stationary statistics of passive scalars advected in fluids with small diffusivity $\kappa$ should display a $|k|^{-1}$ power spectrum along an inertial range contained in the viscous-convective range…

The Bayesian solution to a statistical inverse problem can be summarised by a mode of the posterior distribution, i.e. a MAP estimator. The MAP estimator essentially coincides with the (regularised) variational solution to the inverse…
