INCOMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS

Abstract

We propose a model for random forces in a turbulent incompressible fluid by balancing the energy gain from fluctuations against dissipation by viscosity. This leads to a more singular covariance distribution for the random forces than is ordinarily allowed. We then propose regularization of the fluid system by matrix models. A formula for entropy of a two dimensional fluid is derived and then a vorticity profile of a hurricane that maximizes entropy. A regularization of three dimensional incompressible fluid flow using quantum groups is also proposed.
