2-Dimensional Turbulence: yet another Conformal Field Theory Solution

Abstract

A new conformal field theory description of two-dimensional turbulence is proposed. The recently established class of rational logarithmic conformal field theories provides a unique candidate solution which resolves many of the drawbacks of former approaches via minimal models. This new model automatically includes magneto-hydrodynamic turbulence and the Alf'ven effect.
