- The local structure of turbulence in incompressible viscous fluid for very large Reynolds numbers, Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. USSR, 30, 301305 (1941a). Reprint in English on Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A, 434, 9-13, (1991). - Dissipation of energy in locally isotropic turbulence, Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. USSR, 32, 1618 (1941b). Reprint in English on Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A, 434, 15-17, (1991).
Observed and postulated the universality of small scales and inertial range of intermediate scales of very high Re turbulent flows. Laid foundation for equilibrium turbulent models.
