A first attempt: molecular dissipation

  • Flows = collective motions of many particles described

macroscopically.

  • Prediction usually impossible from principles of Lagrangian

mechanics.

  • But statistical assumptions are possible.
  • The main statistical assumption is the closeness to a certain

statistical equilibrium (local thermodynamic equilibrium, molecular chaos…),

  • Global relaxation can usually be proved (growth of entropy),
  • This phenomenon is called molecular dissipation.
  • R. Balian, From microphyics to macrophysics, Springer (2006)

Not the end of the story

  • For example in incompressible Navier-Stokes this leads to

the equation:

  • In practice relaxation often occurs on time-scales that are

independent on microscopic coupling coefficients. This coefficient may be very small !

Ways out of this paradox

  • 1. Singular behavior counteracts the smallness of the coupling

coefficient and opens access to microscopic dissipation

  • 2. Microscopic dissipation is not the relevant relaxation

mechanism anymore, another relaxation takes over (possibly associated to a macroscopic statistical equilibrium).

  • 3. A combination of the above two.

Example : Burgers equation flow entropy Example : T.D. Lee equilibria in Galerkin truncated systems. Landau damping (isentropic relaxation)

Dissipation can be seen as voluntary forgetfulness. The goal is to make predictions from incomplete knowledge.

  • ccur on the same timescale !

In other words, there is no good reason to think that the flow is better equilibrated at fine scales than at coarse scales.

Wavelet nonlinear thresholding

  • Orthogonal wavelet decomposition:
  • Idea: split wavelet coefficients between two sets, “large

coefficients” and “small coefficients”: Where large and small are defined with respect to a certain threshold:

Summary

  • We have introduced a “dissipation mechanism” for 2D

turbulence based on a split of the flow between explicit and dissipated components.

  • The associated enstrophy dissipation rate does not vanish at

vanishing viscosity.

  • The dissipation rate can be directly related to the nonlinear

transfers and studied quantitatively scale-wise.

  • Negative dissipation is allowed.
  • We have shown that the retroaction of the dissipated flow

has a diffusive effect on the explicit flow at short times.

A result on dissipative singularities

  • There are no dissipative singularities in 2D Navier-Stokes in

the absence of walls and for bounded vorticity fields.

  • However this happens in the presence of boundaries.
