Numerical and physical experiments on the forced two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations show that transverse velocity differences are described by ``normal'' Kolmogorov scaling $<(\Delta v)^{2n}> \propto r^{2n/3}$ and obey a gaussian…
Experiments (Mullin and Kreswell, 2005) show that transition to turbulence can start at Reynolds numbers lower than it is predicted by the linear stability analysis - the subcritical transition to turbulence. To explain these observations…
A recent theoretical development in the understanding of the small-scale structure of Navier-Stokes turbulence has been the proposition that the scales $\eta_n(R)$ that separate inertial from viscous behavior of many-point correlation…
In the present technical note, we establish that the setting of the primitive variables of the unsteady incompressible fluid dynamics is ill-formulated in spatially periodic domains as the specification of the boundary velocity is too broad…
This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on fully developed turbulence in fluids. It is restricted to mechanically driven turbulence in an incompressible fluid described by the Navier-Stokes equations of hydrodynamics, and…
Subcritical transition to turbulence, in which the laminar state is linearly stable yet finite-amplitude perturbations develop into turbulence, is ubiquitous but lacks a simple analytical framework. We demonstrate such a framework using a…
Time irreversibility is a distinctive feature of non-equilibrium phenomena such as turbulent flows, where irreversibility is mainly associated with an energy cascade process. An Eulerian, multiscale analysis of time irreversibility in…
A recent Letter by Oberlack et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 024502 (2022)] claims to have derived new symmetry-induced solutions of the non-modelled statistical Navier-Stokes equations of turbulent channel flow. A high accuracy match to DNS…
Motivated by Kolmogorov's theory of turbulence we present a unified approach to the regularity problems for the 3D Navier-Stokes and Euler equations. We introduce a dissipation wavenumber $\Lambda (t)$ that separates low modes where the…
In this paper, we present strong numerical evidences that the incompressible axisymmetric Euler equations with degenerate viscosity coefficients and smooth initial data of finite energy develop a potential finite-time locally self-similar…
High Reynolds numbers Navier-Stokes equations are believed to break self-similarity concerning both spatial and temporal properties: correlation functions of different orders exhibit distinct decorrelation times and anomalous spatial…
We consider a family of Leray-$\alpha$ models with periodic boundary conditions in three space dimensions. Such models are a regularization, with respect to a parameter $\theta$, of the Navier-Stokes equations. In particular, they share…
Randomness is one of the most important characteristics of turbulence, but its origin remains an open question. By means of a ``thought experiment'' via several clean numerical experiments based on the Navier-Stokes equations for…

This paper constructs a rigorous mathematical framework for investigating laminar-turbulent transition induced by weak singularities of incompressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equations. By integrating the energy identity of Leray weak solutions…
Reduced wavenumber models of turbulence, shell models, show cascade processes and anomalous scaling of correlators which might be analogous to what is observed in Navier-Stokes (N-S) turbulence. The scaling properties of the shell models…
In recent works, we proposed a hypothesis, according to which turbulence in gases is created by the mean field effect of an intermolecular potential. We discovered that, in a numerically simulated inertial flow, turbulent solutions indeed…
Few rigorous results are derived for fully developed turbulence. By applying the scaling properties of the Navier-Stokes equation we have derived a relation for the energy spectrum valid for unforced or decaying isotropic turbulence. We…
