Title: Deterministic Turbulence: Idea and Its Experimental Realisation

Abstract:

This presentation is devoted to the following aspects of the problem. On the existence of a randomization (stochastization) stage of the laminar-turbulent transition in boundary layers. On the Laplacian (mechanical) determinism and reproducibility of instantaneous structure of fluid flows. Idea on the deterministic turbulence and underlying hypotheses. Experimental realization of the deterministic turbulence. Cases when the deterministic turbulence is possible.
