Abstract
We would like to pursue a mathematical approach to turbulence that is able to predict bulk average quantities of experimental and practical significance. Among such bulk average quantities, the Nusselt number N, the enhanced bulk average heat transfer due to convection, is perhaps the simplest physical objective of rigorous mathematical study of turbulence.
