The present talk is designed as a survey, is slanted to my personal tastes, but I hope it is still representative. My intention is to keep the whole discussion pretty elementary by touching large numbers of topics and avoiding details as well as technical difficulties in any one of them. Subsequent talks will go deeper into some of the subjects we discuss today.
The main goal is to link up the statistics, entropy, correlation functions, etc., in the engineering side with a "nice" mathematical model of turbulence.
