Abstract:
Short term unpredictability is discovered numerically for high Reynolds number
fluid flows under periodic boundary conditions. Furthermore, the abundance
of the short term unpredictability is also discovered.
These discoveries support our theory that fully developed turbulence is
constantly driven by such short term unpredictability.
