چکیده
By analogy with recent arguments concerning the mean velocity profile of wall-bounded turbulent shear flows, we suggest that there may exist corrections to the 2/3 law of Kolmogorov, which are proportional to (ln Re) −1 at large Re. Such corrections to K41 are the only ones permitted if one insists that the functional form of statistical averages at large Re be invariant under a natural redefinition of Re. The family of curves of the observed longitudinal structure function D LL (r, Re) for different values of Re is bounded by an envelope. In one generic scenario, close to the envelope, D LL (r, Re) is of the form assumed by Kolmogorov, with corrections of O((ln Re) −2). In an alternative generic scenario, both the Kolmogorov constant C K and corrections to Kolmogorov's linear relation for the third order structure function D LLL (r) are proportional to (ln Re) −1. Recent experimental data of Praskovsky and Oncley appear to show a definite dependence of C K on Re, which if confirmed, would be consistent with the arguments given here.

Does fully developed turbulence exist? Reynolds number independence versus asymptotic covariance
By analogy with recent arguments concerning the mean velocity profile of wall-bounded turbulent shear flows, we suggest that there may exist corrections to the 3 law of Kolmogorov, which are proportional to (ln Re)-’ at large Re. Such corrections to K41 are the only ones permitted if one insists that the functional form of statistical averages at large Re be invariant under a natural redefiniti...

It is argued that a spontaneous vortex phase may exist in the recently discovered compound ErN i 2 B 2 C at temperature below 2.3K. The consequences of this proposal are discussed. In particular the magnetic response of the system are studied both above and below 2.3K and further experiments proposed.

We study the effect of coherent propagation of two interacting particles in an effective 2-3-d disordered potential. Our numerical data demonstrate that in dimension d > 2, interaction can lead to two–particles delocalization below one–particle delocalization border. We also find that the distance between the two delocalized particles (pair size) grows logarithmically with time. As a result pai...
