# Turbulence parameterization from gravity - fluid dynamics correspondence

Im looking for a nice introductary reference that explains how the turbulence coefficient or any kind of turbulence parameterization (in view of applications to atmospheric turbulence for example) can be derived from the gravity - fluid dynamics correspondance, such that even I can get it. I mean, if something like this exists ...

Im basically quite familiar with the hydrodynamic part (NS equation, etc) of this correspondance whereas about the other side I feel a bit more shaky ...

Im finally looking for a citable reference, but any "reasonable" source (slides of a talk, video, ect) that explains how a turbulenc coefficient / parameterization can be obtained would be welcome and appreciated.

Edit

To clarify what I mean, relevant papers for the topic are for example here, here, and jep this one linked to by Mitchell.

• Perhaps I am not familiar enough with the topic, but what do you mean by "correspondence?" Are you asking about the phenomenology of turbulence in a fluid when a gravitational field is present (convection?), or about something else? – kleingordon May 15 '12 at 23:13
• @kleingordon see arxiv.org/abs/1107.5780 – Mitchell Porter May 16 '12 at 4:35
• Ive once seen the slides of a talk by Johanna Erdmenger, where she derived a turbulence coefficent, but I cant find it now and I`d like to have a citable paper about this ... – Dilaton May 16 '12 at 10:58
