Abstract: A model of vortex filaments based on stochastic processes is presented. In contrast to previous models based on semimartingales, here processes with fractal properties between $1/2$ and $1$ are used, which include fractional Brownian motion and similar non-Gaussian examples. Stochastic integration for these processes is employed to give a meaning to the kinetic energy.

Keywords: stochastic integration, fractional Brownian motion, $p$-variation, vortex filaments, statistical fluid mechanics
