Title |
: |
Mathematical approaches to turbulence |
| Abstract | : |
This short course will be
an introduction to some mathematical results on turbulence. The emphasis
will be on some `solvable' statistical theories (eg. Burgers, Onsager) that
have surprisingly rich behavior. Our aim is to disseminate some highlights
of rigorous mathematical results on these problems without presupposing much
background. |
