Description

In long-time simulations of turbulence, symmetry considerations can be disposed
off in a few lines: In absence of boundary conditions, the Navier-Stokes equations are invariant under any 3D translation, 3D rotation, and inversion through the origin. For compact invariant solutions and their instabilities the symmetries play a paramount role, both for
their classification and for understanding the dynamics connecting them. We show that close to onset of turbulence there are five inequivalent isotropy subgroups of interest.
