The problem of one-dimensional randomly forced Burgers turbulence is considered in terms of (1+1) directed polymers. In the limit of strong turbulence (which corresponds to the zero temperature limit for the directed polymer system) using…
Burgers turbulence supported by white-in-time random forcing at low wavenumbers is studied analytically and by computer simulation. It is concluded that the probability density Q of velocity gradient displays four asymptotic regimes at very…
The randomly driven Burgers equation with pressure is considered as a 1D model of strong turbulence of compressible fluid. It is shown that infinitely small pressure provides a finite effect on the velocity and density statistics and this…

We present results for the 1 dimensional stochastically forced Burgers equation when the spatial range of the forcing varies. As the range of forcing moves from small scales to large scales, the system goes from a chaotic, structureless…
We investigate non-perturbative results of inviscid forced Burgers equation supplemented to continuity equation in three-dimensions. The exact two-point correlation function of density is calculated in three-dimensions. The two-point…
We consider the one-dimensional Burgers equation randomly stirred at large scales by a Gaussian short-time correlated force. Using the method of dissipative anomalies, we obtain velocity and velocity-difference probability density functions…
Burgers turbulence subject to a force $f(x,t)=\sum_jf_j(x)\delta(t-t_j)$, where the $t_j$'s are ``kicking times'' and the ``impulses'' $f_j(x)$ have arbitrary space dependence, combines features of the purely decaying and the continuously…
The decay of Burgers turbulence with compactly supported Gaussian "white noise" initial conditions is studied in the limit of vanishing viscosity and large time. Probability distribution functions and moments for both velocities and…
High-resolution numerical experiments, described in this work, show that velocity fluctuations governed by the one-dimensional Burgers equation driven by a white-in-time random noise with the spectrum $\overline{|f(k)|^2}\propto k^{-1}$…
The first goal of this paper is to prove multiple asymptotic results for a time-discrete and space-continuous polymer model of a random walk in a random potential. These results include: existence of deterministic free energy density in the…
The inviscid Burgers equation with random and spatially smooth forcing is considered in the limit when the size of the system tends to infinity. For the one-dimensional problem, it is shown both theoretically and numerically that many of…
We analyze the field theory of fully developed Burgers turbulence. Its key elements are shock fields, which characterize the singularity statistics of the velocity field. The shock fields enter an operator product expansion describing…
A putative powerlaw range of the probability density of velocity gradient in high-Reynolds-number forced Burgers turbulence is studied. In the absence of information about shock locations, elementary conservation and stationarity relations…
We propose a simple method to compute the velocity difference statistics in forced Burgers turbulence in any dimension. Within a reasonnable assumption concerning the nucleation and coalescence of shocks, we find in particular that the…
We consider a few cases of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence differing by the mechanisms of turbulence generation. The advective terms in the Navier-Stokes and Burgers equations are similar. It is proposed that the longitudinal structure…
For the Burgers equation driven by thermal noise leading asymptotics of pair and high-order correlators of the velocity field are found for finite times and large distances. It is shown that the intermittency takes place: some correlators…
We explore a connection of the forced Burgers equation with the Schr\"{o}dinger (diffusive) interpolating dynamics in the presence of deterministic external forces. This entails an exploration of the consistency conditions that allow to…
We present a generalized picture of intermittency in turbulence that is based on the theory of stochastic processes. To this end, we rely on the experimentally and numerically verified finding by R.~Friedrich and J.~Peinke [Phys. Rev. Lett.…
