The h-Principle for Fluid Dynamics (HPFLUDY)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"A fundamental problem of the theory of turbulence is to find a satisfactory mathematical framework linking the Navier-Stokes equations to the statistical theory of Kolmogorov. A central difficulty in this task is the inherent non-uniqueness and pathological behaviour of weak solutionsof the Euler equations, the inviscid limit of the Navier-Stokes equations. This non-uniqueness, rather than an iso ...
