Keywords:
Navier-Stokes equations; statistical solutions; turbulence; energy cascade; enstrophy cascade
Summary:
Some rigorous results connected with the conventional statistical theory of turbulence in both the two- and three-dimensional cases are discussed. Such results are based on the concept of stationary statistical solution, related to the notion of ensemble average for turbulence in statistical equilibrium, and concern, in particular, the mean kinetic energy and enstrophy fluxes and their corresponding cascades. Some of the results are developed here in the case of nonsmooth boundaries and a less regular forcing term and for arbitrary stationary statistical solutions.
