Non-positive definite, global inviscid invariants similar to helicity are discussed for two types of shell models and evidence for a new role for helicity in Navier-Stokes turbulence is presented. It is suggested that the extra invariants…
It is known that scale invariance is broken in the developed hydrodynamic turbulence due to intermittency, substantiating complexity of turbulent flows. Here we challenge the concept of broken scale invariance by establishing a hidden…
We show that the intermittent dynamics observed in the inertial interval of Sabra shell model of turbulence can be rigorously related to the property of scaling self-similarity. In this connection, the space-time scaling symmetries (like in…
We prove that bounded weak solutions of the compressible Euler equations will conserve thermodynamic entropy unless the solution fields have sufficiently low space-time Besov regularity. A quantity measuring kinetic energy cascade will also…
We analyze a class of linear shell models subject to stochastic forcing in finitely many degrees of freedom. The unforced systems considered formally conserve energy. Despite being formally conservative, we show that these dynamical systems…

We study numerically a Constantin-Lax-Majda-De Gregorio model generalized by Okamoto, Sakajo and Wunsch, which is a model of fluid turbulence in one dimension with an inviscid conservation law. In the presence of the viscosity and two types…
Shell models provide a simplified mathematical framework that captures essential features of incompressible fluid turbulence, such as the energy cascade and scaling of the fluid observables. We perform a precision analysis of the direct and…
We study an infinite system of non-linear differential equations coupled in a tree-like structure. This system was previously introduced in the literature and it is the model from which the dyadic shell model of turbulence was derived. It…
We study the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in three dimensions interacting with a non-linear flexible shell of Koiter type. This leads to a coupled system of non-linear PDEs where the moving part of the boundary is an…
A statistical method for calculating equilibrium solutions of the shallow water equations, a model of essentially 2-d fluid flow with a free surface, is described. The model contains a competing acoustic turbulent {\it direct} energy…
Smooth solutions of the forced incompressible Euler equations satisfy an energy balance, where the rate-of-change in time of the kinetic energy equals the work done by the force per unit time. Interesting phenomena such as turbulence are…
We analyze the blowup (finite-time singularity) in inviscid shell models of convective turbulence. We show that the blowup exists and its internal structure undergoes a series of bifurcations under a change of shell model parameter. Various…
We consider a class of shell models of 2D-turbulence. They conserve inertially the analogues of energy and enstrophy, two quadratic forms in the shell amplitudes. Inertially conserving two quadratic integrals leads to two spectral ranges.…
We prove that given any $\beta<1/3$, a time interval $[0,T]$, and given any smooth energy profile $e \colon [0,T] \to (0,\infty)$, there exists a weak solution $v$ of the three-dimensional Euler equations such that $v \in…
In this paper we present analytical studies of three-dimensional viscous and inviscid simplified Bardina turbulence models with periodic boundary conditions. The global existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the viscous model has…
It is known that the energy of a weak solution to the Euler equation is conserved if it is slightly more regular than the Besov space $B^{1/3}_{3,\infty}$. When the singular set of the solution is (or belongs to) a smooth manifold, we…
We model a 3D turbulent fluid, evolving toward a statistical equilibrium, by adding to the equations for the mean field $(v, p)$ a term like $-\alpha \nabla\cdot(\ell(x) D v_t)$. This is of the Kelvin-Voigt form, where the Prandtl mixing…
We deal with the 3D inviscid Leray-{\alpha} model. The well posedness for this problem is not known; by adding a random perturbation we prove that there exists a unique (in law) global solution. The random forcing term formally preserves…
A stochastic version of an inviscid dyadic model of turbulence, with multiplicative noise, is proved to exhibit energy dissipation in spite of the formal energy conservation. As a consequence, global regular solutions cannot exist. After…
