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…
It is shown that the generalization of the Navier-Stokes equations to a theory with $N$ ``internal state" copies of the velocity fields is a step in a wrong direction: the $N\to\infty$ limit has no physical sense and produces wrong results,…
