Workshop on Turbulence

Status of experiments and simulations on scaling problems in turbulence
1:30pm|Virtual Event via Zoom

Abstract: We present an elementary summary of known results, and open questions, on scaling problems in hydrodynamic turbulence in three dimensions. The goal is to provide some background for the two talks to follow, and summarize Victor Yakhot's...

Workshop on Turbulence

Fluid Turbulence, Thermal Noise and Spontaneous Stochasticity
Gregory Eyink
2:30pm|Virtual Event via Zoom

Abstract: I will explain that incompressible Navier-Stokes is the wrong equation to describe turbulence in low Mach number molecular fluids because it neglects the effects of thermal noise. There should, in fact, be strong effects of thermal noise...

Turbulence as Gibbs Statistics of Vortex Sheets
Alexander Migdal
3:30pm|Virtual Event via Zoom

Abstract: We study the vortex sheet solutions of the Euler equation, which correspond to the tangent discontinuity of the velocity field.

We observe that stationary flows correspond to the Hamiltonian's minimization by the tangent discontinuity...
