Equations that follow from the Navier-Stokes equation and incompressibility but with no other approximations are called "exact" here. Exact equations relating 2nd and 3rd-order structure functions are obtained, as is an exact…
Exact equations are derived that relate velocity structure functions of arbitrary order with other statistics. "Exact" means that no approximations are used except that the Navier-Stokes equation and incompressibility condition are assumed…
Exact structure function equations are an efficient means of obtaining asymptotic laws such as inertial range laws, as well as all measurable effects of inhomogeneity and anisotropy that cause deviations from such laws. "Exact" means that…
The hierarchy of exact equations is given that relates two-spatial-point velocity structure functions of arbitrary order with other statistics. Because no assumption is used, the exact statistical equations can apply to any flow for which…
Energy dissipation rate is an important parameter for nearly every experiment on turbulent flow. Mathematically precise relationships between energy dissipation rate and other measurable statistics for the case of anisotropic turbulence are…
We derive for the Navier-Stokes equation an exact equation satisfied by the dissipation rate correlation function. In the equal time limit, in the inertial range, for the homogeneous, isotropic state of fully-developed turbulence, we show…
We carry out a self consistent calculation of the structure functions in the dissipation range using Navier Stokes equation. Combining these results with the known structures in the inertial range, we actually propose crossover functions…
High-resolution direct numerical simulation data for three-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence in a periodic box are used to study the scaling behavior of low-order velocity structure functions with positive and negative powers. Similar to…
We study the statistics of longitudinal and transverse structure functions, as well as velocity circulation in the inverse energy cascade of two-dimensional turbulence. By means of direct numerical simulations of the incompressible…
Common efficient schemes for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, such as projection or fractional step methods, have limited temporal accuracy as a result of matrix splitting errors, or introduce errors near the domain boundaries…
On the basis of the Navier-Stokes equations we develop the statistical theory of many space-time correlation functions of velocity differences. Their time dependence is {\em not} scale invariant: $n$-order correlations functions exhibit…
We establish pointwise decay estimates for the velocity field of a steady two-dimensional Stokes flow around a rotating body via a new approach rather than analysis adopted in the previous literature. The novelty is to analyze the singular…
Transport equations for even-order structure functions are written for a passive scalar mixing fed by a mean scalar gradient, with a Schmidt number $\mathit{Sc}=1$. Direct numerical simulations (DNS), in a range of Reynolds numbers…
We look at various correlation functions, which include those that involve both the velocity and the vorticity fields, in two-dimensional (2D) isotropic homogeneous unforced turbulence. We adopt the more intuitive approach due to Kolmogorov…
Navier-Stokes turbulence subject to solid-body rotation is studied by high-resolution direct numerical simulations (DNS) of freely decaying and stationary flows. Setups characterized by different Rossby numbers are considered. In agreement…
Local analysis of the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is used to obtain estimates on the energy and enstrophy fluxes involving Taylor and Kraichnan length scales and the size of the domain. In the framework of zero driving force and…
Two recent publications [V. Yakhot, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 63}, 026307, (2001) and R.J. Hill, J. Fluid Mech. {\bf 434}, 379, (2001)] derive, through two different approaches that have the Navier-Stokes equations as the common starting point, a…
We provide optimal order pressure error estimates for the Crank-Nicolson semidiscretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Second order estimates for the velocity error are long known, we prove that the pressure error is of…
In this paper, we study the energy balance for a class of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations with external forces in dimensions three and above. The solution and force are smooth on $(0,T)$ and the total dissipation and work of the…
Ocean turbulence plays a key role in shaping large-scale circulation, heat uptake, and biogeochemical processes. The kinetic energy (KE) wavenumber spectrum is a fundamental diagnostic, quantifying how KE is distributed across spatial…
