Disentangling the evolution of a coherent mean-flow and turbulent fluctuations, interacting through the non-linearity of the Navier-Stokes equations, is a central issue in fluid mechanics. It affects a wide range of flows, such as planetary…
The transition from laminar to turbulent flow has been a notorious riddle in fluid dynamics since the nineteenth century. Hydrodynamic instabilities were regarded as a cause for the onset of turbulence, but their theoretical investigation…
When studying fluid mechanics in terms of instability, bifurcation and invariant solutions one quickly finds out how little can be done by pen and paper. For flows on sufficiently simple domains and under sufficiently simple boundary…
Through a discussion of some typical unsteady hydrodynamic flows, we argue that the time averaged hydrodynamic functions at each point give a rather sparse filling of the local jet space. This situation then suggests a set of time dependent…

High Reynolds numbers Navier-Stokes equations are believed to break self-similarity concerning both spatial and temporal properties: correlation functions of different orders exhibit distinct decorrelation times and anomalous spatial…
Numerical simulation of fluids plays an essential role in modeling many physical phenomena, such as weather, climate, aerodynamics and plasma physics. Fluids are well described by the Navier-Stokes equations, but solving these equations at…

The Navier-Stokes equations describe fluid flow in many everyday life situations. Newton's second law of motion describes changes in the object's speed when a force applied. The Navier-Stokes equations are equivalent to Newton's Law when…
