Kolmogorov and the Turbulence

by:

A.N. Shiryaev

Abstract

From the introduction:

This paper was prepared for the workshop 'Turbulence and Finance' organized by MaPhySto (5-7 May, 1999, Aarhus) with a view to 'discuss the striking similarities as well as the differences between key empirical features observed in the financial markets and the turbulence of fluids'.
...
In the present report, I am not going to compare the statistical data of the turbulence and of the finance. I would like to give a review of Kolmogorov's different periods of the turbulence study as well as of his main conceptions and the results achieved in this field, that influenced the later development of hydrodynamics.
