An important idea underlying a plausible dynamical theory of circulation in three-dimensional turbulence is the so-called Area Rule, according to which the probability density function (PDF) of the circulation around closed loops depends…
The velocity statistics reveal non-universality in both three-dimensional (3-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) turbulence, despite both prototype systems containing an energy inertial range with constant energy flux. Recently, statistics of…

We elaborate the statistical field theory of Turbulence suggested in the previous paper \cite{M20a}. We clarify and simplify the basic Energy pumping equation of that theory and study mathematical properties of singular field configuration…
We analyze the Minimal Area solution to the Loop Equations in turbulence \cite{M93}. As it follows from the new derivation in the recent paper \cite{M19}, the vorticity is represented as a normal vector to the minimal surface not just at…

We study properties of the minimal surface in the Area Law Solution \cite{M93}, \cite{M19a}, \cite{M19b}. We find out that Area Law holds exactly for 2D turbulence as well as for arbitrary planar loop in higher dimensions. This relies on…
The turbulence problem at the level of scaling exponents is hard in part because of the multifractal scaling of small scales, which demands that each moment order be treated and understood independently. This conclusion derives from studies…
Turbulence is a fundamental flow phenomenon, typically anisotropic at large scales and approximately isotropic at small scales. The classical Kolmogorov scaling laws (2/3, -5/3 and 4/5) have been well-established for turbulence without…
The elementary structures of turbulence, i.e., vortex tubes, are studied using velocity data obtained in laboratory experiments for boundary layers and duct flows at microscale Reynolds numbers 332-1934. While past experimental studies…
The internal interactions of fluids occur at all scales therefore the resulting force fields have no reason to be smooth and differentiable. The release of the differentiability hypothesis has important mathematical consequences, like scale…
Following the idea that dissipation in turbulence at high Reynolds number is by events singular in space-time and described by solutions of the inviscid Euler equations, we draw the conclusion that in such flows scaling laws should depend…
The velocity circulation, a measure of the rotation of a fluid within a closed path, is a fundamental observable in classical and quantum flows. It is indeed a Lagrangian invariant in inviscid classical fluids. In quantum flows, circulation…
We revisit the problem of stationary distribution of vorticity in three-dimensional turbulence. Using Clebsch variables we construct an explicit invariant measure on stationary solutions of Euler equations with the extra condition of fixed…

We formulate multifractal models for velocity differences and gradients which describe the full range of length scales in turbulent flow, namely: laminar, dissipation, inertial, and stirring ranges. The models subsume existing models of…
Universal properties of turbulence have been associated traditionally with very high Reynolds numbers, but recent work has shown that the onset of the power-laws in derivative statistics occurs at modest microscale Reynolds numbers of the…
