Abstract
The main problem of strong turbulence is the coexistence of regular structures and random fields which lead to the formation of self-organised dissipative structures. Many problems of strong turbulence are still being studied. However, this field of research is so important that it needs a special discussion. At the present time the majority of the important physical concepts are clear, but the details of the formation of strong turbulence and its development are still being widely investigated, often by using super-computers. It is likely that the complicated phenome a which appear in a strongly turbulent state will be studied for a long time to come. We shall consider here what we feel are the most interesting and at this time well understood new physical ideas in this field without going into a detailed discussion but paying attention mainly to the physical mechanisms of the formation of dissipative structures.
