Two-dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz instability problems are popular examples for assessing discretizations for incompressible flows at high Reynolds number. Unfortunately, the results in the literature differ considerably. This paper presents…

We model a 3D turbulent fluid, evolving toward a statistical equilibrium, by adding to the equations for the mean field $(v, p)$ a term like $-\alpha \nabla\cdot(\ell(x) D v_t)$. This is of the Kelvin-Voigt form, where the Prandtl mixing…
