On Generalized Shell Models of Turbulence - ongoing

Undergraduate group research (REU) to motivate a generalized shell model of turbulence, building on L’vov et. al (1998). Our work proves the existence & uniqueness of weak & strong solutions, investigates the existence of inertial manifolds, and computationally validates the model's behavior by comparing flux and energy spectra against literature

Presented at JMM 2026 (program entry & abstract) in Washington DC

REU Advisors Prof. V. Martinez, Hunter College & Prof. C. Victor, Texas A&M
