From
Most fluid motions in nature are turbulent, yet we lack an analytical description of fluid flows in the nonlinear regime. Recently, Yaron Oz proposed a new viewpoint inspired by black hole dynamics and constructed a random geometry field theory of turbulence, deriving an exact KPZ-type analytical formula for the inertial range anomalous scalings.
