This book is dedicated to the mathematical study of two-dimensional statistical hydrodynamics and turbulence, described by the 2D Navier–Stokes system with a random force. The authors' main goal is to justify the statistical properties of a fluid's velocity field u(t,x) that physicists assume in their work. They rigorously prove that u(t,x) converges, as time grows, to a statistical equilibrium, independent of initial data. They use this to study ergodic properties of u(t,x) – proving, in particular, that observables f(u(t,.)) satisfy the strong law of large numbers and central limit theorem. They also discuss the inviscid limit when viscosity goes to zero, normalising the force so that the energy of solutions stays constant, while their Reynolds numbers grow to infinity. They show that then the statistical equilibria converge to invariant measures of the 2D Euler equation and study these measures. The methods apply to other nonlinear PDEs perturbed by random forces.

"This book deals with basic problems and questions, interesting for physicists and engineers working in the theory of turbulence. Accordingly Chapters 3-5 (which form the main part of this book) end with sections, where we explain the physical relevance of the obtained results. These sections also provide brief summaries of the corresponding chapters. In Chapters 3 and 4, our main goal is to justify, for the 2D case, the statistical properties of fluid's velocity"--

Two-dimensional turbulence has been extensively studied over the past years theoretically and numerically since the theory of the dual cascade energy. Numerical studies have revealed an impor- tant feature of two-dimensional turbulence, that is, the predomi- nance of coherent structures, followed by interaction and merger of these isolated vortices in the subsequent evolution. A method of 'vortex census' has been introduced to keep track of the vortices but the relation to reconnection has remained unexplored. In this Thesis, we study the reconnection process of vorticity con- tours associated with coherent vortices in two-dimensional turbu- lence for different Reynolds number. After checking topological integrity by the Euler index theorem, we make use of the critical points and their connectivity (so-called surface networks) to study the topological changes of vorticity contours. Wc show how this method can remarkably distinguish the dynamics of the vortic- ity field in the Navier-Stokes equations and that of the Charney- Hasegawa-Mima equation. We found that the potential vorticity formed vortex crystals. This excites us to study the vortex crystal in details by study a coarse-grained asymptotic equation [Smirnov and Chukbar(2001)]. Self-similar blow-up solutions with an infi- 1 I i :. nite total energy were given. We ask whether or not finite-time blow-up can take place developing from smooth initial data with a finite energy.
