We show that multiscaling properties of developed turbulence in shell models, which lead to anomalous scaling exponents in the inertial range, are determined exclusively by instanton dynamics. Instantons represent correlated extreme events…

We present a theoretical attack on the classical problem of intermittency and anomalous scaling in turbulence. Our focus is on an ideal situation: high Reynolds number isotropic turbulence driven by steady large scale forcing. Moreover, the…
We outline our proposal for a field theory description of steady state incompressible fluid turbulence at the inertial range of scales in a general number of space dimensions. The theory consists of a Kolmogorov linear scaling mean field…
Since Kolmogorov proposed his phenomenological theory of hydrodynamic turbulence in 1941, the description of mechanism leading to the energy cascade and anomalous scaling remains an open problem in fluid mechanics. Soon after, in 1949…
We discuss the effects of finite perturbations in fully developed turbulence by introducing a measure of the chaoticity degree associated to a given scale of the velocity field. This allows one to determine the predictability time for…
Turbulence is generally associated with universal power-law spectra in scale ranges without significant drive or damping. Although many examples of turbulent systems do not exhibit such an inertial range, power-law spectra may still be…
We formulate multifractal models for velocity differences and gradients which describe the full range of length scales in turbulent flow, namely: laminar, dissipation, inertial, and stirring ranges. The models subsume existing models of…
We investigate how inhomogeneity influences the $k^{-5/3}$ inertial range scaling of turbulent kinetic energy spectra (with $k$ the wavenumber). For weak statistical inhomogeneity, the energy spectrum can be described as an equilibrium…
Power spectrum of the distributed chaos can be represented by a weighted superposition of the exponential functions which is converged to a stretched exponential $\propto \exp-(k/k_{\beta})^{\beta }$. An asymptotic theory has been developed…
Universal properties of turbulence have been associated traditionally with very high Reynolds numbers, but recent work has shown that the onset of the power-laws in derivative statistics occurs at modest microscale Reynolds numbers of the…
Recent developments in turbulence are focused on the effect of large scale anisotropy on the small scale statistics of velocity increments. According to Kolmogorov, isotropy is recovered in the large Reynolds number limit as the scale is…
