The tradition in Navier-Stokes analysis of finding estimates in terms of the Grashof number $\bG$, whose character depends on the ratio of the forcing to the viscosity $\nu$, means that it is difficult to make comparisons with other results…
In this article we consider a damped version of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole three-dimensional space with a divergence-free and time-independent external force. Within the framework of a well-prepared force and…
The Navier-Stokes (NS) equations as a turbulence model have been widely applied in lots of fields. The NS equations contain such a fundamental assumption that all small physical/artificial disturbances could be neglected. Is this assumption…
The NS equation is considered (in 2 & 3 dimensions) with a fixed forcing on large scale; the stationary states form a family of probability distributions on the fluid velocity fields depending on a parameter R (Reynolds number). It is…
We derive upper bounds for the number of degrees of freedom of two-dimensional Navier--Stokes turbulence freely decaying from a smooth initial vorticity field $\omega(x,y,0)=\omega_0$. This number, denoted by $N$, is defined as the minimum…
Turbulence -- ubiquitous in nature and engineering alike [1-5] -- is traditionally viewed as an intrinsically inertial phenomenon, emerging only when the Reynolds number (Re), which quantifies the ratio of inertial to dissipative forces…
A model of fully developed turbulence of a compressible fluid is briefly reviewed. It is assumed that fluid dynamics is governed by a stochastic version of Navier-Stokes equation. We show how corresponding field theoretic-model can be…
Fully-developed incompressible Navier-Stokes turbulence in three dimensions is a dissipative dynamical system that exhibits strong departure from absolute equilibrium. Nevertheless, several kinds of representation by Tsallis equilibria have…
We consider the incompressible 2D Navier-Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions driven by a deterministic time periodic forcing and a degenerate stochastic forcing. We show that the system possesses a unique ergodic periodic…
We consider three-dimensional stochastically forced Navier-Stokes equations subjected to white-in-time (colored-in-space) forcing in the absence of boundaries. Upper and lower bounds of the mean value of the time-averaged energy dissipation…
Local analysis of the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is used to obtain estimates on the energy and enstrophy fluxes involving Taylor and Kraichnan length scales and the size of the domain. In the framework of zero driving force and…
The influence of turbulent effects on a fluid flow through a (pseudo) porous media is studied by numerically solving the set of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the $\kappa$-$\epsilon$ model for turbulence. The spatial domains…
Numerical and analytical studies of decaying, two-dimensional (2D) Navier-Stokes (NS) turbulence at high Reynolds numbers are reported. The effort is to determine computable distinctions between two different formulations of maximum entropy…
We perform direct numerical simulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with forcing at different spatial dimensions and measure turbulent and chaotic properties. Lyapunov exponents, $\lambda$, decrease with dimension, and…
Turbulence governed by the Navier-Stokes equations shows a tendency to evolve towards a state in which the nonlinearity is diminished. In fully developed turbulence this tendency can be measured by comparing the variance of the nonlinear…
In this visualisation the instantaneous local velocity is expressed in terms of four components to capture the development of and interactions between coherent structures in turbulent flows. It is then possible to isolate the terms linked…
We consider the Navier-Stokes equation on a two dimensional torus with a random force, white noise in time and analytic in space, for arbitrary Reynolds number $R$. We prove probabilistic estimates for the long time behaviour of the…
We accomplish two major tasks. First, we show that the turbulent motion at large scales obeys Gaussian statistics in the interval 0 < Rlambda < 8.8, where Rlambda is the microscale Reynolds number, and that the Gaussian flow breaks down to…
Following the Gallavotti's conjecture, Stationary states of Navier-Stokes fluids are proposed to be described equivalently by alternative equations besides the NS equation itself. We propose a model system symmetric under time-reversal…
We consider the flow of a Newtonian fluid in a three-dimensional domain, rotating about a vertical axis and driven by a vertically invariant horizontal body-force. This system admits vertically invariant solutions that satisfy the 2D…
