Title: Short term unpredictability of high Reynolds number turbulence - rough dependence on initial data Authors: Zaichun Feng (Univ. of Missouri, Columbia, MO, USA) Y. Charles Li (Univ. of Missouri, Columbia, MO, USA) 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. Submitted January 5, 2020. Published October 12, 2020.
