A new formulation of the near-equilibrium theory of turbulence

Abstract
We present a status report on a discrete approach to the the near-equilibrium statistical theory of three-dimensional turbulence, which generalizes earlier work by no onger requiring that the vorticity field be a union of discrete vortex filaments. The idea is to take a special limit of a dense lattice vortex system, in a way that brings out a connection between turbulence and critical phenomena. The approach produces statistics with basic features of turbulence, in particular intermittency and coherent structures. The numerical calculations have not yet been brought to convergence, and at present the results are only qualitative.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
