We investigate dissipative anomalies in a turbulent fluid governed by the compressible Navier-Stokes equation. We follow an exact approach pioneered by Onsager, which we explain as a non-perturbative application of the principle of…

Stokes flow equations, used to model creeping flow, are a commonly used simplification of the Navier--Stokes equations. The simplification is valid for flows where the inertial forces are negligible compared to the viscous forces. In…
