Abstract
Fluid dynamics turbulence refers to the chaotic and unpredictable dynamics of flows. Despite the fact that the equations governing the motion of fluids are known since more than two centuries, a comprehensive theory of turbulence is still a challenge for the scientific community. Rather recently a number of important breakthroughs have clarified many relevant, fascinating, and largely unexpected, statistical features of turbulent fluctuations. In these lectures, we discuss recent advances in the field with the aim of highlighting the physical meaning and implication of these new ideas and their role in contributing to disentangling different parts of our understanding of the turbulence problem. The lectures aim at introducing non-experts to the subject and no previous knowledge of the field is required.
期刊介绍:
Physics Reports keeps the active physicist up-to-date on developments in a wide range of topics by publishing timely reviews which are more extensive than just literature surveys but normally less than a full monograph. Each report deals with one specific subject and is generally published in a separate volume. These reviews are specialist in nature but contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist. The reader will not only be able to distinguish important developments and trends in physics but will also find a sufficient number of references to the original literature.
