Abstract
We present a detailed review of recent developments in the statistical approach to fully developed turbulence. We address both ideal situations such as “homogeneous and isotropic turbulence” as well as problems of real anisotropic and wall bounded flows. We also discuss a set of theoretical questions connected to the calculation of anomalous exponents in the Navier-Stokes equations and in a class of shell models for the turbulent energy cascade.
