Ideal Turbulence as a Kind of Disturbed Chaos: Brief Essay

Abstract

We outline key points of the concept of ideal turbulence offering novel scenarios for distributed chaos based not on the geometric-dynamical complexity of the attractor but on the extremely complex spatial structure of elements of the attractor. Ideal turbulence is observed in idealized (without internal resistance) models of various processes related to electromagnetic or acoustic oscillations. This idealization significantly simplifies the analysis and, at the same time, in many cases, provides a quite adequate description of real processes.
