Abstract
Fluid turbulence is important in numerous applications, and is a model system for nonlinear systems with many degrees of freedom. The equations of motion are not easily amenable to analysis and for this reason progress in the field requires significant effort in experiments and in numerical simulations. In recent years, some progress has been made utilizing helium at low temperatures, enabling high-Reynolds number turbulence to be generated in laboratory experiments. With high Reynolds numbers, however, come new challenges for measurement.
The author is indebted to K.R. Sreenivasan for his significant contributions to the main themes of this essay and to the directors of the CISM Advanced School on “Vortices and Turbulence at Very Low Temperature” for the opportunity to present there the material on which it is based.
