    Global-in-time existence of weak solutions to Kolmogorov's two-equation model of turbulence
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Mielke, Alexander; Naumann, Joachim
    We consider Kolmogorov's model for the turbulent motion of an incompressible fluid in 3. This model consists in a Navier-Stokes type system for the mean flow u and two further partial differential equations: an equation for the frequency and for the kinetic energy k each. We investigate this system of partial differential equations in a cylinder x ]0,T[ ( 3 cube, 0 < T < +∞) under spatial periodic boundary conditions on x ]0,T[ and initial conditions in x {0}. We present an existence result for a weak solution {u, , k} to the problem under consideration, with , k obeying the inequalities formula1 and formula2.
