Can Turbulent Flow Be Predicted?

[Tom.G]

TL;DR

Batchelor’s law proven, Turbulent flow, fluid dynamics

Mathematical proofs that many turbulent flows can be predicted at least in a stochastic sense. Under the right conditions, it turns out that the flow lines and vortices pretty much follow a fractal law.

Is there a question?

Nope.
Just an announcement for the interested, seemed like the best-fit forum for it.
I don't mind if you can suggest a better spot for the Mentors to move it to.

My recollection of fluid flow is that most of the equations are differenntial equations. That forum might be an alternative.
