The Viscous Lengths in Hydrodynamic Turbulence are Anomalous Scaling Functions
Abstract
It is shown that the idea that scaling behavior in turbulence is limited by one outer length and one inner length is untenable. Every n'th order correlation function of velocity differences exhibits its own cross-over length to dissipative behavior as a function of, say, . This length depends on {and on the remaining separations} . One result of this Letter is that when all these separations are of the same order this length scales like with , with being the scaling exponent of the 'th order structure function. We derive a class of scaling relations including the ``bridge relation" for the scaling exponent of dissipation fluctuations .
