Title: Dynamical ensembles equivalence in fluid mechanics

Abstract: Dissipative Euler and Navier Stokes
equations are discussed with the aim of proposing
several experiments apt to test the equivalence of
dynamical ensembles and the chaotic hypothesis.

Keywords: Strange attractors, Chaoticity principle,
Fluid mechanics, Navier-Stokes equation
