Where: Belgium
works\ On the Nature of Turbulence [1971: with Floris Takens]
Detail: He used three independent motions to describe turbulence. However, this was wrong. Phase-space centers can be not equilibria or periodic loops but infinitely long lines in confined space {strange attractor, Ruelle}. Strange attractors are stable, can have few dimensions, and are periodic but not exactly periodic.
