Singularity of Navier-Stokes equations is uncovered for the first time which explains the mechanism of transition of a smooth laminar flow to turbulence. It is found that when an inflection point is formed on the velocity profile in…
We report that many exact invariant solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for both pipe and channel flows are well represented by just few modes of the model of McKeon & Sharma J. Fl. Mech. 658, 356 (2010). This model provides modes that…
We consider the Navier-Stokes equation in a domain with irregular boundaries. The irregularity is modeled by a spatially homogeneous random process, with typical size $\eps \ll 1$. In a parent paper, we derived a homogenized boundary…

Extending work of E, Khanin, Mazel and Sinai (1997 PRL 78:1904-1907) on the one-dimensional Burgers equation, we show that density pdf's have universal power-law tails with exponent -7/2. This behavior stems from singularities, other than…
In this paper, we consider turbulence from a geometric perspective based on the vorticity equations for incompressible viscous fluid flows. We derive several quantitative statements about the statistics of turbulent flows. In particular we…
The turbulence field is stacked on the laminar flow. In this research, the laminar flow is described as a macro deformation which forms an instant curvature space. On such a curvature space, the turbulence is viewed as a micro deformation.…

This work is a review with proofs of a group of results on the stochastic Burgers equation with small viscosity, obtained during the last two decades. These results jointly show that the equation makes a surprisingly good model of…
Rigorous estimates for the total - (kinetic) energy plus pressure - flux in R^3 are obtained from the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The bounds are used to establish a condition - involving Taylor length scale and the size of…
The statistics of Lagrangian particles in turbulent flows is considered in the framework of a simple vortex model. Here, the turbulent velocity field is represented by a temporal sequence of Burgers vortices of different circulation,…
