We extend the numerical simulations of She et al. [Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.\ 70, 3251 (1993)] of highly turbulent flow with $15 \le$ Taylor-Reynolds number $Re_\lambda\le 200$ up to $Re_\lambda \approx 45000$, employing a reduced wave vector set…

Visual manifestations of intermittency in computations of three dimensional Navier-Stokes fluid turbulence appear as the low-dimensional or `thin' filamentary sets on which vorticity and strain accumulate as energy cascades down to small…

We explore the scaling behavior of an unsteady flow that is generated by an oscillating body of finite size in a gas. If the gas is gradually rarefied, the Navier-Stokes equations begin to fail and a kinetic description of the flow becomes…
We propose a theoretical framework where the dissipative structures of turbulence emerge from microscopic path uncertainty. By modeling fluid parcels as stochastic tracers governed by the Schr\"odinger Bridge (SB) variational principle, we…
A simplified Lagrangean closure for the Navier-Stokes equation is used to study the production of intermittency in the inertial range of three dimensional turbulence. This is done using localized wavepackets following the fluid rather than…
Experimental and numerical studies of incompressible turbulence suggest that the mean dissipation rate of kinetic energy remains constant as the Reynolds number tends to infinity (or the non-dimensional viscosity tends to zero). This…
Iterative coarse-graining procedure based on Wyld's perturbation expansion is applied to the problem of Navier-Stokes turbulence. It is shown that the low-order calculation gives the fixed-point Reynolds number $ Re_{fp}$ (coupling…
We show that the Kolmogorov-1941 picture of fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence (with the scaling of the structure functions $S_n(R) \propto R^{n/3}$) necessarily leads to an anomalous scaling for correlation functions which include the…
We show here the global, in time, regularity of the three dimensional viscous Camassa-Holm (Lagrangian Averaged Navier-Stokes-alpha) equations. We also provide estimates, in terms of the physical parameters of the equations, for the…

A recent theoretical development in the understanding of the small-scale structure of Navier-Stokes turbulence has been the proposition that the scales $\eta_n(R)$ that separate inertial from viscous behavior of many-point correlation…
Turbulence problem is often considered as "the last unsolved problem of classical physics". It is due to strong interaction between velocity and/or velocity gradient fluctuations, a high Reynolds number flow is a fascinating mixture of…
A theory for the evolution of a metric $g$ driven by the equations of three-dimensional continuum mechanics is developed. This metric in turn allows for the local existence of an evolving three-dimensional Riemannian manifold immersed in…
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…
