Long-time turbulence model deduced from the Navier-Stokes equations

Abstract

The author shows the existence of long-time averages to turbulent solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations and determines the equations satisfied by them, involving a Reynolds stress that is shown to be dissipative.

Keywords
