Title: A General Framework for Modeling Turbulent Fluids
Speaker: Justin Beroz, CEO, ReynKo Inc.
Abstract: Despite significant advances over the past two centuries, a complete general mathematical framework for turbulent fluid motion has yet to be put forth and remains the longest standing unsolved problem in classical physics. I will present such a framework, which is based on constructing a spectral decomposition for the fluid’s kinetic energy from first principles. The approach departs from the usual Reynolds decomposition and yields a set of closed and solvable ordinary differential equations in matrix form. Within this prescription, the linear terms in the Navier-Stokes equations correspond to a symmetric matrix operator, and the nonlinear convective term enters as an anti-symmetric operator that provides coupling between eigenstates of turbulent fluctuation. Specifically, I will present a derivation for the turbulent energy spectrum, including the Kolmogorov energy cascade; elucidate instability…
