Conformal Invariance in Two-dimensional Percolation
The word percolation, borrowed from the Latin, refers to the seeping or oozing of a liquid through a porous medium, usually to be strained. In this and related senses it has been in use since the seventeenth century. It was introduced more recently into mathematics by S. R. Broadbent and J. M. Hammersley ([BH]) and is a branch of probability theory that is especially close to statistical mechan...
متن کاملConformal invariance in hydrodynamic turbulence
This short survey is written by a physicist. It contains neither theorems nor precise definitions. Its main content is a description of the results of numerical solution of the equations of fluid mechanics in the regime of developed turbulence. Due to limitations of computers, the results are not very precise. Despite being neither exact nor rigorous, the findings may nevertheless be of interes...
متن کاملConformal Models of Two–Dimensional Turbulence
Polyakov recently showed how to use conformal field theory to describe two-dimensional turbulence. Here we construct an infinite hierarchy of solutions, both for the constant enstrophy flux cascade, and the constant energy flux cascade. We conclude with some speculations concerning the stability and physical meaning of these solutions.
متن کاملPredictions on Two - dimensional Turbulence by Conformal Field Theory
A generalized theory of two-dimensional isotropic turbulence is developed based on con-formal symmetry. A number of minimal models of conformal turbulence are solved under an extended constraint including both the enstrophy cascade by Kraichnan and the discontinuity of vorticity by Saffman. There are an infinite number of solutions which fall into two different categories. An explicit relation ...
متن کاملScale Dependent Intermittency and Conformal Invariance in Turbulence
We present a conformal theory for intermittent scalar fields. As an example, we consider the energy flux from large to small scales in the developed turbulent flow. The conformal correlation functions are found in the inertial range of scales. In the simplest case, the theory leads to the log-normal model. Parameters of the model are expressed via integrals of the conformal correlation function...
