Abstract: | Skeleton diagram equations of turbulence theory — the Dyson equations and the equations for vertices of three types — are obtained nonperturbatively. Their derivation is based on the use of an equation in functional derivatives for the characteristic functional of a hydrodynamic system described by Navier-Stokes equations in the presence of an external random force. The iterative solution of these equations reproduces the perturbation series for second moments that is usually obtained in a more complicated way and also the series for the third moments.Institute of Problems in Mechanics, Russian Academy of Sciences.
