Abstract

We introduce a modification of the Navier–Stokes equation that has the remarkable property of possessing an infinite number of conserved quantities in the inviscid limit. This new equation is studied numerically and turbulence properties are analyzed concerning energy spectra and scaling of structure functions. The dissipative structures arising in this new equation are curled vortex sheets instead of the vortex tubes arising in Navier–Stokes turbulence. The numerically calculated scaling of structure functions is compared with a phenomenological model based on the She–Lévêque approach.Finally, for this equation we demonstrate global well-posedness for sufficiently smooth initial conditions in the periodic case and in R3. The key feature is the availability of an additional estimate which shows that the L4-norm of the velocity field remains finite.
