Abstract
Some characteristic features of three scenarios for the occurrence and development of turbulence
are presented: the Landau-Hopf scenario, the scenario of transition to turbulence on a strange attractor, and
the scenario followed by the solutions of the multimoment hydrodynamics equations. The analysis of the presented
characteristic features allows us to conclude that these scenarios can be used to interpret turbulence.
It is shown that only one of the scenarios satisfactorily interprets the experimental data: the scenario followed
by the solutions of the multimoment hydrodynamics equations supplemented with stochastic components.
The Landau-Hopf scenario leads to a system that has lost stability in the wrong direction. The scenario of the
transition to turbulence on a strange attractor correctly reproduces only the initial stage of the evolution of
the liquid layer in the Bénard experiment, namely, heat transfer in the resting layer and convective shafts.
Analysis of the behavior of solutions of the Lorentz model leaves no hope for the ability of this scenario to
interpret turbulence
