In this article, a suite of physically inconsistent properties of the Navier-Stokes equations, associated with the lack of mass diffusion and the definition of velocity, are presented. We show that these inconsistencies are consequences of…
We here exploit a rigorous mathematical theory of vorticity dynamics for Navier-Stokes solutions in terms of stochastic Lagrangian flows and their stochastic Cauchy invariants, that are conserved on average backward in time. This theory…
We expose a hidden scaling symmetry of the Navier-Stokes equations in the limit of vanishing viscosity, which stems from dynamical space-time rescaling around suitably defined Lagrangian scaling centers. At a dynamical level, the hidden…

This work presents an approach to the Navier-Stokes equations that is phrased in unbiased Eulerian coordinates, yet describes objects that have Lagrangian significance: particle paths, their dispersion and diffusion. The commutator between…
In this paper, we examine the averaging effect of a highly oscillating external force on the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. We show that, as long as the force time-average decays over time, if the frequency and amplitude of the…
