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…

It is frequently asserted that in a chaotic system two initially close points will separate at an exponential rate governed by the largest global Lyapunov exponent. Local Lyapunov exponents, however, are more directly relevant to…

A widely used statistical theory of 2D turbulence developed by Kraichnan, Leith, and Batchelor (KLB) predicts a power-law scaling for the energy, $E(k)\propto k^\alpha$ with an integral exponent $\alpha={-3}$, in the inertial range…

An inverse cascade - energy transfer to progressively larger scales - is a salient feature of two-dimensional turbulence. If the cascade reaches the system scale, it creates a coherent flow expected to have the largest available scale and…
