Landau-Hopf theory of turbulence



In physics, the Landau-Hopf theory of turbulence was until the mid 1970s the accepted theory of how a fluid flow becomes turbulent. The theory says that as a fluid flows faster, it develops more and more Fourier modes. At first a few modes dominate, but under stronger forcing the modes become power-law distributed, as in Kolmogorov's theory of turbulence.
