Turbulence for (and by) amateurs
  Series of lectures on statistical turbulence written for amateurs but not experts. Elementary aspects and problems of turbulence in two and three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation are introduced. A few properties of scalar turbulence and transport phenomena in turbulent flows are described. Kraichnan's model of passive advection is discussed a bit more precisely.   {Part 1: Approaching turbulent flows.} Navier-Stokes equation. Cascades and Kolmogorov theory. Modeling statistical turbulence. Correlation functions and scaling.   {Part 2: Deeper in turbulent flows.} Turbulence in two dimensions. Dissipation and dissipative anomalies. Fokker-Planck equations. Multifractal models.   {Part 3: Scalar turbulence.} Transport and Lagrangian trajectories. Kraichnan's passive scalar model. Anomalous scalings and universality.   {Part 4: Lagrangian trajectories.} Richardson's law. Lagrangian flows in Kraichnan's model. Slow modes. Breakdown of Lagrangian flows. Batchelor limit. Generalized Lagrangian flows and trajectory bundles.
