  • Coarse Grained Simulation and Turbulent Mixing

    Edited by Fernando F. Grinstein ...
    Small-scale turbulent flow dynamics is traditionally viewed as universal and as enslaved to that of larger scales. In coarse grained simulation (CGS), large energy-containing structures are resolved, smaller structures are spatially filtered out, and unresolved subgrid scale (SGS) effects are modeled. Coarse Grained Simulation and Turbulent Mixing reviews our understanding of CGS. Beginning with ... Read more

  • Mathematics of Two-Dimensional Turbulence

    by Sergei Kuksin, Armen Shirikyan ...
    Series Book 194 - Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics
    This book is dedicated to the mathematical study of two-dimensional statistical hydrodynamics and turbulence, described by the 2D Navier–Stokes system with a random force. The authors' main goal is to justify the statistical properties of a fluid's velocity field u(t,x) that physicists assume in their work. They rigorously prove that u(t,x) converges, as time grows, to a statistical equilibrium, ... Read more
