Turbulence and Mathematical Insights
This chapter explores the complex interplay between turbulence and particle dispersion, shedding light on the mathematical concepts of renormalization and homogenization. It recounts the historical challenges faced by mathematicians in rigorously interpreting superdiffusion within turbulent systems. Finally, the chapter discusses a breakthrough that integrates these methods to enhance understanding of particle behavior in chaotic environments.
