Self-similar solution to Leith's model for the spectral density of turbulence
In this paper we study a phenomenological turbulence model suggested in [1] in which the energy spectrum obeys a nonlinear diffusion equation. This equation meets the scaling properties of the original Navier-Stokes equation and it has the Kolmogorov -5/3 cascade and the thermodynamic equilibrium as steady-state solutions. The general steady state in this model contains a nonlinear mixture of the constant-flux and thermodynamic components. As it was shown in [1] such "warm cascade" solutions describe the so-called bottleneck phenomenon of spectrum stagnation near the dissipative scale. Transient self-similar solutions describing a finite-time formation of steady cascade were investigated numerically in [1],[8] in the inviscid case with vanishing external forcing. This analysis showed a nontrivial scaling behavior and the finite time formation for the steady state cascade states. In this paper we proved the existence of the transient self-similar solutions.
