We derive the Markov process equivalent to She-Leveque scaling in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. The Markov process is a jump process for velocity increments $u(r)$ in scale $r$ in which the jumps occur randomly but with deterministic width in $u$. From its master equation we establish a prescription to simulate the She-Leveque process and compare it with Kolmogorov scaling. To put the She-Leveque process into the context of other established turbulence models on the Markov level, we derive a diffusion process for $u(r)$ from two properties of the Navier-Stokes equation. This diffusion process already includes Kolmogorov scaling, extended self-similarity and a class of random cascade models. The fluctuation theorem of this Markov process implies a second law that puts a loose bound on the multipliers of the random cascade models. This bound explicitly allows for inverse cascades, which are necessary to satisfy the fluctuation theorem. By adding a jump process to the diffusion process, we go beyond Kolmogorov scaling and formulate the most general scaling law for the class of Markov processes having both diffusion and jump parts. This Markov scaling law includes She-Leveque scaling and a scaling law derived by Yakhot.

We investigate the statistical properties of cosmic baryon fluid in the nonlinear regime, which is crucial for understanding the large-scale structure formation of the universe. With the hydrodynamic simulation sample of the Universe in the cold dark matter model with a cosmological constant, we show that the intermittency of the velocity field of cosmic baryon fluid at redshift z=0 in the scale range from the Jeans length to about 16 Mpc/h can be extremely well described by She-Leveques universal scaling formula. The baryon fluid also possesses the following features: (1) for volume weight statistics, the dissipative structures are dominated by sheets, and (2) the relation between the intensities of fluctuations is hierarchical. These results imply that the evolution of highly evolved cosmic baryon fluid is similar to a fully developed turbulence.
We formulate multifractal models for velocity differences and gradients which describe the full range of length scales in turbulent flow, namely: laminar, dissipation, inertial, and stirring ranges. The models subsume existing models of inertial rang e turbulence. In the localized ranges of length scales in which the turbulence is only partially developed, we propose multifractal scaling laws with scaling exponents modified from their inertial range values. In local regions, even within a fully developed turbulent flow, the turbulence is not isotropic nor scale invariant due to the influence of larger turbulent structures (or their absence). For this reason, turbulence that is not fully developed is an important issue which inertial range study can not address. In the ranges of partially developed turbulence, the flow can be far from universal, so that standard inertial range turbulence scaling models become inapplicable. The model proposed here serves as a replacement.Details of the fitting of the parameters for the $tau_p$ and $zeta_p$ models in the dissipation range are discussed. Some of the behavior of $zeta_p$ for larger $p$ is unexplained. The theories are verified by comparing to high resolution simulation data.
We propose a new perspective on Turbulence using Information Theory. We compute the entropy rate of a turbulent velocity signal and we particularly focus on its dependence on the scale. We first report how the entropy rate is able to describe the dis tribution of information amongst scales, and how one can use it to isolate the injection, inertial and dissipative ranges, in perfect agreement with the Batchelor model and with a fBM model. In a second stage, we design a conditioning procedure in order to finely probe the asymmetries in the statistics that are responsible for the energy cascade. Our approach is very generic and can be applied to any multiscale complex system.
More and more works deal with statistical systems far from equilibrium, dominated by unidirectional stochastic processes augmented by rare resets. We analyze the construction of the entropic distance measure appropriate for such dynamics. We demonstr ate that a power-like nonlinearity in the state probability in the master equation naturally leads to the Tsallis (Havrda-Charvat, Aczel-Daroczy) q-entropy formula in the context of seeking for the maximal entropy state at stationarity. A few possible applications of a certain simple and linear master equation to phenomena studied in statistical physics are listed at the end.

This PhD thesis deals with the Markov picture of developed turbulence from the theoretical point of view. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part introduces stochastic thermodynamics, the second part aims at transferring the concepts of stoc hastic thermodynamics to developed turbulence. / Central in stochastic thermodynamics are Markov processes. An elementary example is Brownian motion. In contrast to macroscopic thermodynamics, the work done and the entropy produced for single trajectories of the Brownian particles are random quantities. Statistical properties of such fluctuating quantities are central in the field of stochastic thermodynamics. Prominent results are so-called fluctuation theorems which express the balance between production and consumption of entropy and generalise the second law. / Turbulent cascades of eddies are assumed to be the predominant mechanism of turbulence generation and fix the statistical properties of developed turbulent flows. An intriguing phenomenon of developed turbulence, known as small-scale intermittency, are violent small-scale fluctuations in flow velocity that exceed any Gaussian prediction. / In analogy to Brownian motion, it is demonstrated in the thesis how the assumption of the Markov property leads to a Markov process for the turbulent cascade that is equivalent to the seminal K62 model. In addition to the K62 model, it is demonstrated how many other models of turbulence can be written as a Markov process, including scaling laws, multiplicative cascades, multifractal models and field-theoretic approaches. Based on the various Markov processes, the production of entropy along the cascade and the corresponding fluctuation theorems is discussed. In particular, experimental data indicates that entropy consumption is linked to small-scale intermittency, and a connection between entropy consumption and an inverse cascade is suggestive.
