This is a review of results of the author and A. E. Biryuk on turbulence for the generalized Burgers equation $$u_t+f'(u)u_x=\nu u_{xx}+\eta$$ considered for space periodic initial data and a random force $$\eta$$. Here $$f$$ is a smooth and strongly convex function and $$0<\nu\ll 1$$ is the viscosity coefficient. The main results include well-posedness of the Cauchy problem and estimates for the Sobolev space norm of $$u$$ averaged over time and over the ensemble. They are of the order $$\nu^{-\delta}$$ with the same value of $$\delta\geq 0$$ for the upper and the lower bounds. These results are interpreted as sharp bounds for small-scale quantities characterizing turbulence. Questions of existence and uniqueness of a stationary measure for randomly forced generalized Burgers equation are also discussed.
