The group-theoretic approach is used to construct exact solutions to perfect fluid equations invariant under the Schrodinger group, or the l-conformal Galilei group, or the Lifshitz group. In each respective case, the velocity vector field…

Turbulent hydrodynamics is characterised by universal scaling properties of its structure functions. The basic framework for investigations of these functions has been set by Kolmogorov in 1941. His predictions for the scaling exponents,…
