Dissipation and Mixing: From Turbulent Flows to Weak Solutions - Lecture 1

Explore a distinguished lecture on dissipation and mixing in turbulent flows and weak solutions delivered by László Székelyhidi, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences. Delve into the discrepancy between observable phenomena and theoretical proofs in mathematical fluid mechanics, focusing on the challenge of formulating an existence theory for hydrodynamic equations that reflects real-world observations, particularly anomalous dissipation in turbulence theory. Gain insights into recent developments concerning weak solutions in this context, presented by a renowned expert in calculus of variations and mathematical fluid mechanics. Learn about Székelyhidi's contributions to the field, including his work on convex integration for incompressible Euler equations and the resolution of Onsager's conjecture. Discover the speaker's prestigious background, including his membership in the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, as well as his receipt of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize.
