Turbulence from First Principles

Abstract

We provide a first-principles approach to turbulence by employing the electrodynamics of continuous media at the viscous limit to recover the Navier-Stokes equations. We treat oscillators with two orthogonal angular momenta as a spin network with properties applicable to the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theorem. The microscopic viscous limit has an irreducible representation that includes $O(3)$ expansion terms for a radiation-dominated fluid with a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric, equivalent to an oriented toroidal de Sitter space. The turbulence solution in $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}$ lies on 6-choose-3 de Sitter intersections of three orthogonal $n$-tori.
