Acoustical theory of turbulence
Abstract
Fluid functions are expanded in a series of functions constituting a complete and orthogonal system of wave solutions of the linearized Navier-Stokes system. The motion of characteristic waves is described by Hamiltonian equations of ray acoustics. Amplitude of the waves is described with the aid of nonlinear interaction terms. The distribution functions (squares of amplitudes) satisfy Boltzmann-type equations and completely describe the mean turbulence properties.
