Are extreme dissipation events predictable in turbulent fluid flows?

We derive precursors of extreme dissipation events in a turbulent channel flow. Using a recently developed method that combines dynamics and statistics for the underlying attractor, we extract a characteristic state that precedes laminarization events that subsequently lead to extreme dissipation ep...
