Objectives : the aim of the course is to provide a general presentation of turbulence theory from the point of view of statistical physics and notably in the framework of nonlinear physics.
Some examples will make clear the variety of phenomena which can be considered turbulent. The relation to dynamical systems and statistical mechanics concepts will be emphasised. The few exact results will be derived. The phenomenology will be presented in terms of scaling. In particular, the multifractal description of turbulence will be discussed. Some words will be spent, finally, about current subjects like wave and Lagrangian turbulence.
Basic notion of Fluid Mechanics and probability theory are required.
