This research is based on mathematical analogy between vortex                   stretching and the geometric properties of distorted volume elements            in phase space.  The latter can be described by strange attractors              and their exponential growth rates.  These are known to involve                 fractals.  The research is to establish whether this analogy can be             used to show fractal descriptions of turbulent vorticity dynamics.              The investigator was able previously to establish a connection                  between fractals and turbulent energy.  The vorticity case is much              more relevant to the physical mechanisms of turbulence, thus a much             more concise and compact description for turbulence dynamics than               presently available may result.
