Very recently, a defect model which depicts the growth tendency of the near-wall peak of the streamwise turbulence intensity has been developed (Chen $\&$ Sreenivasan, J. Fluid Mech. (2021), vol.908, R3). Based on the finiteness of the…
Variational turbulence is among the few approaches providing rigorous results in turbulence. In addition, it addresses a question of direct practical interest, namely the rate of energy dissipation. Unfortunately, only an upper bound is…

We prove that there exists a weak solution to a system governing an unsteady flow of a viscoelastic fluid in three dimensions, for arbitrarily large time interval and data. The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes…

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…
The complex small-scale statistics of turbulence are a result of the combined cascading dynamics through all scales of the flow. Predicting these statistics using fully resolved simulations at the high Reynolds numbers that typically occur…
Sommerfeld paradox (turbulence paradox) roughly says that mathematically the Couette linear shear flow is linearly stable for all values of the Reynolds number, but experimentally transition from the linear shear to turbulence occurs under…
A new rescaling of the vorticity moments and their growth terms is used to characterise the evolution of anti-parallel vortices governed by the 3D Euler equations. To suppress unphysical instabilities, the initial condition uses a balanced…
This paper introduces a novel class of initial data for which the three-dimensional incompressible Navier--Stokes equations yield unique global-in-time solutions. Building on a logarithmically improved regularity criterion, we impose a…
This paper reviews a line of work on decaying turbulence that began with loop equations and culminated in the Euler ensemble as a candidate statistical attractor. Most observable predictions discussed here-including the decay law, velocity…
