Dissipation properties of near-singular flow structures and their crucial dependence on the geometry of these structures.
Direct numerical simulations and investigations of small-scale near-singular structures, for example in vortex tubes. The theorem of self-similar streamlines relates the Kolmogorov capacity of spiral-helical streamlines to singularity properties of vortex tubes. Geometrical eduction of vortex tubes independently of their enstrophy levels.
