Abstract

This is an introductory course on the open problems of fully developed turbulence which present a long standing challenge for theoretical and mathematical physics. The plan of the course is as follows:

  • Lecture 1. Hydrodynamical equations. Existence of solutions. Statistical description. Kolmogorov scaling theory.

  • Lecture 2. Functional approach to turbulence, similarities and differences with field theory.

  • Lecture 3. Passive scalar and breakdown of the Kolmogorov theory.

  • Lecture 4. Inverse renormalization group.

Keywords

Passive Scalar Inertial Range Langevin Dynamic Stochastic Evolution Equation Anomalous Scaling 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
