Abstract

Some models for developed turbulence are considered; they are shown to obey a large-fluctuations theorem, and one of them also obeys a response reciprocity relation of Onsager type. This illustrates and extends ideas and techniques developed in earlier works mainly for nonequilibrium problems in statistical mechanics.
