Canuto, V.M., 2026: New turbulence model: Langevin stochastic equations in lieu of the Navier-Stokes equations. J. Sea Res., 211, 102702, doi:10.1016/j.seares.2026.102702.
Physical oceanographers must describe turbulent processes at different depths due to different sources. The time-honored tool to treat turbulence were the Navier-Stokes Equations, NSE. In 1971, turbulence theorist R. H. Kraichnan, after an unsuccessful attempt to derive the universal Kolmogorov kinetic energy spectrum using the NSE, suggested that, because of their structural simplicity, the Langevin Stochastic Equations LSE should be used.to describe turbulence. His suggestion was not implemented for 25 years until 1996-1999 when a series of papers were published in The Physics of Fluids in which an LSE-based turbulence model was derived, implemented and assessed on more than 80 non-geophysical turbulence data. The LSE were then extended to treat oceanic mesoscales and sub-mesoscales and OGCM results were favorably compared to those based on different turbulence models. It has now been realized that the oceanographic community has not yet been presented with a step-by-step derivation of the LSE-based turbulence model and its applications. The goal of this work is to remedy that shortcoming.
