Zusammenfassung

Die Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über einige Probleme der neueren Turbulenzforschung. Nach einer allgemeinen Einleitung werden zuerst elementare, für die Turbulenztheorie wichtige Resultate der Theorie homogener, stochastischer Vorgänge diskutiert. Im dritten Teil werden sodann Beispiele linearer Systeme behandelt, bei denen die äusseren Kräfte von turbulenten Schwankungen herrühren. Im vierten Teil werden turbulente Transportphänomene gestreift, und im fünften Teil wird ein kurzer Überblick über Resultate und Fragen der Theorie der isotropen Turbulenz gegeben.
