Abstract
Starting with a swirling flow we prove the existence
of unique turbulent
solutions of the stochastically driven Navier-Stokes equation
in three dimensions.
These solutions are not smooth but Hölder continuous with index
1/3. The turbulent
solutions give the existence of an invariant measure that
determines
the statistical theory of turbulence including Kolmogorov´s
scaling laws. We will
discuss how the invariant measure can be approximated leading
to a implicit formula
that can be used to compare with simulations and experiments.
