The local structure of turbulence in incompressible viscous fluid for very large Reynolds numbers

Abstract
§1. We shall denote by u α ( P ) = u α ( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , t ), α = 1, 2, 3, the components of velocity at the moment t at the point with rectangular cartesian coordinates x 1 , x 2 , x 3 . In considering the turbulence it is natural to assume the components of the velocity u α ( P ) at every point P = ( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , t ) of the considered domain G of the four-dimensional space ( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , t ) are random variables in the sense of the theory of probabilities (cf. for this approach to the problem Millionshtchikov (1939) Denoting by Ᾱ the mathematical expectation of the random variable A we suppose that ῡ 2 α and (d u α /d x β ) 2 ― are finite and bounded in every bounded subdomain of the domain G .
