Intermittency in turbulence: computing the scaling exponents in shell models.

چکیده
We discuss a stochastic closure for the equation of motion satisfied by multiscale correlation functions in the framework of shell models of turbulence. We present a plausible closure scheme to calculate the anomalous scaling exponents of structure functions by using the exact constraints imposed by the equation of motion. We present an explicit calculation for fifth-order scaling exponent by varying the free parameter entering in the nonlinear term of the model. The same method applied to the case of shell models for Kraichnan passive scalar provides a connection between the concept of zero-modes and time-dependent cascade processes.

Lagrangian statistics and temporal intermittency in a shell model of turbulence.
We study the statistics of single-particle Lagrangian velocity in a shell model of turbulence. We show that the small-scale velocity fluctuations are intermittent, with scaling exponents connected to the Eulerian structure function scaling exponents. The observed reduced scaling range is interpreted as a manifestation of the intermediate dissipative range, as it disappears in a Gaussian model o...
متن کاملLinks between dissipation, intermittency, and helicity in the GOY model revisited
High resolution simulations within the GOY shell model are used to study various scaling relations for turbulence. A power-law relation between the second-order intermittency correction and the crossover from the inertial to the dissipation range is confirmed. Evidence is found for the intermediate viscous dissipation range proposed by Frisch and Vergassola. It is emphasized that insufficient d...
متن کاملRelating Lagrangian passive scalar scaling exponents to Eulerian scaling exponents in turbulence
Intermittency is a basic feature of fully developed turbulence, for both velocity and passive scalars. Intermittency is classically characterized by Eulerian scaling exponent of structure functions. The same approach can be used in a Lagrangian framework to characterize the temporal intermittency of the velocity and passive scalar concentration of a an element of fluid advected by a turbulent i...
متن کاملIntermittency in the large N - limit of a spherical shell model for turbulence
A spherical shell model for turbulence, obtained by coupling N replicas of the Gledzer, Okhitani and Yamada shell model, is considered. Conservation of energy and of an helicity-like invariant is imposed in the inviscid limit. In the N → ∞ limit this model is analytically soluble and is remarkably similar to the random coupling model version of shell dynamics. We have studied numerically the co...
متن کاملIntermittency and universality in a Lagrangian model of velocity gradients in three-dimensional turbulence
The universality of intermittency in hydrodynamic turbulence is considered based on a recent model for the velocity gradient tensor evolution. Three possible versions of the model are investigated differing in the assumed correlation time-scale and forcing strength. Numerical tests show that the same (universal) anomalous relative scaling exponents are obtained for the three model variants. It ...
