A chapter in The Nonlinear Diffusion Equation, 1974, pp 1-8 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The topic treated in this monograph is a distant outcome of old attempts to arrive at a statistical theory of turbulent fluid motion, modeled after the example of classical statistical mechanics as applied to the kinetic theory of gases. The attempts did not bring the desired success, but they made clear that essential features of the spectrum of turbulence are due to the simultaneous presence of dissipative as well as nonlinear inertial terms in the equations of motion.
