Abstract:
Recently, asymptotic scaling behavior of the compressible randomly forced Navier-Stokes equation has been analyzed with the use of field-theoretic renormalization group near four dimensions [Phys. Rev. E 95, 033120 (2017)PREHBM2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.95.033120]. Two infrared stable nontrivial asymptotic scaling patterns have been found and their parameters determined in the one-loop approximation. Here, it is pointed out that the asymptotic scaling behavior predicted in this way may not be realized in physical fluid systems. This is a consequence of restrictions on viscosities imposed by the energy balance equation which the one-loop fixed-point value of the relative viscosity fails to meet.

The pressure difference depends on the fluid's velocity and radius of curvature. The pressure variation is minimal in flows with nearly straight streamlines.
