This blog is about Theoretical Turbulence – i.e. finding solutions to ordinary fluid dynamic turbulence problems.
For me, this began 51 years ago at MIT with my ScD thesis, “Random Theory of Turbulence”. In short, I applied the “Wiener Machinery” (integral functionals based on the Wiener Process – aka Brownian Motion) to simple turbulent geometries. Two specific flow situations examined are “Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence” (HIT) and “Plane Poiseuille Flow” (PPF). The results are pretty interesting – at least to me!
For forty years I abandoned this work to pursue computer stuff – Prime Computer, Apollo Computer, Stellar Computer, etc. Twenty years ago I began a sporadic relook at this toolkit. I got some more refined results, but never bothered to publish anything – after all, I’m not looking for tenure anywhere!
Today (August 21, 2013) I begin this blog to semi-publish my work, progress and thoughts on theoretical turbulence. I hope this proves useful to someone.
