Renormalization Group (RG) in Turbulence: Historical and Comparative Perspective.

Abstract

The terms renormalization and renormalization group are explained by reference to various physical systems. The extension of renormalization group to turbulence is then discussed; first as a comprehensive review and second concentrating on the technical details of a few selected approaches. We conclude with a discussion of the relevance and application of renormalization at group to turbulence modelling.
