Abstract

We propose and verify a wave-vector-space version of generalized extended self similarity and broaden its applicability to uncover intriguing, universal scaling in the far dissipation range by computing high-order (20\/\leq 20\/) structure functions numerically for: (1) the three-dimensional, incompressible Navier Stokes equation (with and without hyperviscosity); and (2) the GOY shell model for turbulence. Also, in case (2), with Taylor-microscale Reynolds numbers 4×104Reλ3×106\/4 \times 10^{4} \leq Re_{\lambda} \leq 3 \times 10^{6}\/, we find that the inertial-range exponents (ζp\/\zeta_{p}\/) of the order - p\/p\/ structure functions do not approach their Kolmogorov value p/3\/p/3\/ as Reλ\/Re_{\lambda}\/ increases.
