Scaling, Universality and Spottiness in Turbulence

Explore the complex phenomena of turbulence in this 49-minute lecture on "Scaling, Universality and Spottiness in Turbulence" delivered by Samriddhi Sankar Ray at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the intricate relationships between turbulence, field theory, and critical phenomena as part of a broader discussion meeting on Field Theory and Turbulence. Gain insights into the challenges of modeling turbulent flows arising from Navier-Stokes equations at high Reynolds numbers. Examine the application of Quantum Field Theory concepts to turbulence modeling and investigate universal power laws in turbulent flows. Learn about efforts to develop theories from Navier-Stokes equations without approximations and explore connections to conformal field theory. Discover the multifaceted approaches to understanding turbulence, including investigations of singularities in fluid equations and the mapping of black-hole solutions to relativistic fluid equations. Engage with cutting-edge research bridging various disciplines to advance our comprehension of this critical scientific and engineering problem.
